  First of all: Farkel, you are a Genius of major proportions. Please, please do a CD for us. I'll even help dupe it for you.

  Authors, so many, so little time. Nothing better, to my way of thinking, than to sit on a comfortable front porch on a sunny summer morning, reading a book and drinking beverage of choice. A few favorites for that scenario:

  Thomas Pynchon - Gravity's Rainbow is a difficult read but worth the effort

  Isaac Asimov, especially the Foundation series and the Robot stories

  Poe- goddam! all of him

  Douglas Adams - so smart and so very witty

  Stephen King, only when he's trying...the good stuff is VERY good

  Jane Auel, some of the Neanderthal stories have great background research

  John Stienbeck, esp Cannery Row

  Dave Barry, for humor, can't beat him

  Kaye Gibbons, for good ol' chick stories try Charms for an Easy Life, she's the female answer to Hemmingway

  Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate...easily the sexiest book ever

  Mario Puzzo, wonderful character building

  See what you've started? I could go on for hours about books. Is there anything better than the smell in a great used book store? Talk about erotic!!

  DreamCatcher

  thunder and i saw dreamcatcher based on the book of the same name by stephen king.

  i screamed at least three times, it stayed true to the novel and the actors were amazing.

  i loved how they made jonsey's office in his mind, it was just as i had imagined it.

  Bendrr:

  Big SK fan reporting in.

  Yes, "It" was deffinitely among his best works. The characters were so well written and developed. The mini-series tried hard, but nothing could recreate the images of those kids grown into troubled adults.

  Dreamcatcher reminded me more of Tommyknockers than the Dark Tower series...not sure why.

  I went to see the movie alone..because I knew no one I know would enjoy it. The book was fresh in my mind and I will say that the sets and dialogue were faithful. Other than that, the movie script collapsed at the end and Duddits - the most interesting character in the book - was completely lost. Could they not find a Downs actor for the role?

  If you loved the book, see the movie just for the visuals. Go with low expectations and you will not be disappointed.

  Berten:

  Talk about changing the subject! One has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other.

  Do you have an opinion on Polanski's award or not?

  With child molesters, moreso than any other criminal group, we DO have to remember their pasts. Why reward this criminal, no matter how talented he is?

  Sex with a 13 yr old not rape? Are you serious??
