I'm re-reading a book that I read years ago called Church of the Dead Girls by Stephen Dobyns. It's a scary mystery, horror, thriller type book. I remember being scared reading it before, so I wanted to re-read it.

It is good, but so disturbing. The author is thinking of writing a sequel to it based in present day Hollywood.

There was a movie based on the book, came out in 1987.
Less Than Zero (1987)

Robert Downy jr. as Julian.

Brad Pitt has an uncredied role.

La Vida by Oscar Lewis....really good book written in the 60's about a poor Puerto Rican family in San Juan and NYC...had to read it in college and loved it. Reading it for the 3rd time.

Young Stalin...kind of a prequel to Court of the Red Tsar, which I adored. So far, Young Stalin is just as good. Did you know he was quite an accomplished poet at a young age? Weird.

Hahahahahaha----so true.

As far as starting to read again, I recommend a bit of Margaret Atwood. She's fantastic and the Handmaids Tale is beyond brilliant. A work of pure genius in my humble opinion. Hard to believe she's canadian (had to say that for Grimmm....)

^^^
i'm just starting it!

mr. butt took the copy I ordered and traipsed down to get, with the reasoning that since I was already reading something else he would be done with the book before I finished mine. I somehow doubt it...

just finished the deathly hallows too... and now, armed with all the secrets, I've decided to re-read the whole series!! So, I guess I'm now reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ...
