Engulfed in flames is good daisy...unfortunately with all the publiccity and build up you may be a bit disappointed....It was good but not deserving of so much acclaim.
Just read the book Powerpoint 7...........dry very dry..it will be a great door stop!
I am out of books and need to refill before i start wandering the grocery store reading all the labels..... its a pain when u run out of things to read...anyone who does not know about it..... the guttenberg project.org u can download tons of classics for free onto your computer..kindle, e reader, ipod, mp3, etc etc....for a little fun reading try Elinor Glyn ..very racy writing back when she wrote it in the 1800's Alexander Dumas of course is always a joy an if you are up to a challenge read some joyce....(I suggest medicinal pot prior to injecting joyce into ones brain)

I just ordered four ELizabeth Gaskell novels (mostly because I just saw the third part of Cranford on Masterpiece classics last night). I've read Gaskell's Bio of Charlotte Bronte but didn't think to read her novels. Now I'm about to start up my old obsession with very long Victorian novels. I'll probably emerge again sometime in 2011. See you then.

Rufus,

May I suggest "Jane Eyre" for a Bronte work? It's amazing.....and the first Victorian work I ever read...and have read it 4 or 5 times. Deep and rich and colorful.

My best guy friend told me the same thing, so that's why I had put-off reading it.

Good for you, Rufus--it's always fun to rediscover your love for literature! I've read Glaskell's North & South--it's definitely worth the read. I also like Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret and Olive Schreiner's Story of an African Farm.

Ooh, I love Jane Eyre. I must say, too, that I had quite the fantasy of being her--and especially after I saw the BBC version with Timothy Dalton

I want to read this, too, now! It's an oldie but a goodie if you're looking for something similar: Feel the Fear . . . and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers
