I dug out my copy of Monster at the End of This Book and it's not at all the same. So now I'm wondering WHY I have this vivid feeling that I've seen that story with the same pictures as the new book. My "Monster" is pretty darn old...was there a remake that maybe I subconsciously absorbed that DOES have the drawings?

I first read it in the 8th grade (20 years ago...yikes!!!) and have read it many times since. Its one of the funniest books ever written, and even if you're not a baseball fan I think anyone can enjoy it, comparing Jim Bouton's anecdotes to things that have happened in your life. now 4 more books: Downsize This- Michael Moore .... A masterpiece where the director of "Roger & Me" writes about the current events in the world. His chapter on why he thinks O.J. Simpson is innocent is amazing. It- Stephen King ...

You guys are the coolest! In a minute, I'm making a list of all these recommended books (lucky me, I work in a library!). Um...I'm thinking how to go about this. I guess I'll just jump right in: Heather said "Weetzie Bat" by Francesca Lia Block. That series is *excellent*. Also, I just read her book of short stories "Girl Goddess #9" which is really, really good. She tackles some pretty important and sensitive issues of today , but in a very gentle way, that gives you hope instead of upsetting you. Heather and Lace mentioned Nick Bantock, who is *awesome* because you can spend billions of years looking at the art, as well as the stories being good. Jack Kerouac was mentioned twice. "The Dharma Bums" is my most favoritest book in the whole world. I have no idea how many times I've read it, but now I read it every time I am sick and it is so comforting (and I [heart] Gary Snyder!). I've read "On The Road" too, but I don't like it as much, because it's more cynical (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but that's just me...). My dad used to read to me every night when I was little. We read all of the Narnia books, "The Hobbit" and all of the Lord of the Rings books, "The Wind in the Willows" so I've never read any of them by myself, but I only have good memories. Here goes stuff no one's mentioned yet (I don't think): Roddy Doyle ("The Commitments", "The Snapper", "The Van", "The Woman Who Walked into Doors", "Paddy Clarke, Ha, Ha, Ha")--Yes, the movie "The Commitments" is based on his book. I think I like the movie better, only because you get to hear the music. He is an awesome writer who's stories take place in Ireland. They are all pretty serious, but have really funny parts as well (esp. Paddy Clarke, which is told from the point of view of a ten year old boy). Nick Hornby ("Fever Pitch", "High Fidelity", "About A Boy")--I think Nick Hornby is as obsessed with music as I am. I force all of my friends to read "High Fidelity" which is a totally true to life story of a guy who owns a record store. Sherman Alexie ("Reservation Blues", "Indian Killer", "The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Fistfight in Heaven", various poetry books)--Sherman Alexie is a Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Indian, who writes basically about what it's like to be a Native American today. The movie "Smoke Signals" (awesome, awesome movie) is based on "Lone Ranger...". Alexie did the screenplay. He is an amazing writer, and his prose is like poetry. His books are very intense, but excellent. Kids' (sort of) books: "Seaward" by Susan Cooper (I like all of her stuff, but this is my fave). It's a fantasy story about two kids who meet on a search for their parents. "Some of the Kinder Planets" and "The Book of Changes" by Tim Wynne-Jones. These are short story books about kids growing up in Canada (yay!). They are all realistic, but sometimes have fantasy stuff thrown in. My mom, the English teacher, loved them so much, she made her kids read some of the stories. "Red Cap" by G. Clifton Wisler. The Civil War isn't really something I'm too interested in, but this book is wonderful. It's about a drummer boy who gets captured and put in Andersonville prison. Wisler is and amazing historical fiction writer, and "Red Cap" is my favorite of his. "Porker's Taxi" and "Porker Finds a Chair" by Sven Nordqvist. These are the most hysterical picture books I have ever seen. They are about the exploits of a bear who is (as my boss, Angela says) "a little bit not very smart." The illustrations are really sort of odd, but Porker is very cute. In one he finds a chair, and cannot figure out how to sit in it. In the other, he finds a wheelbarrow and decides to start a taxi service, but can't figure out why some things are easier to push than others (hint: sometimes it's uphill, sometime's it's down). Anyway, so that's more than 5 (only 8, believe it or not). But I'll be quiet now. I bet you wish you hadn't gotten me started. But thanx everyone else, because I've been looking for more stuff to read, and now I've got tons of stuff to look for! love Lizzie ------------------------------ Date: 27 Jan 1999 01:11:41 GMT From: bbwminors@aol.com (BBWMinors) Subject: Re: top five books Hey Billy ... since you're not on AOL I guess you can't access my "personal profile" page (not that you'd necessarily want to), but of my two quotes, one is Moxy (from Gulf War) and the other is "Hiya blondie, how's your old tomato?"

I am pleased to tell all of Frudom that Buzzy Linhart is alive and nearly well -- medical marijuana donations accepted! I know, I am his son, and a FruFan. In fact, last year, I had the pleasure of dining with MF before a Baltimore show due to a mutual friend. Hollis, you out there? Buzzy does in fact have huge hands and a huge mind for satirical ironic and beautiful lyrics. These can be found on his 10 or so albums beginning in 1965 and on others by Bette Midler ("Friends") and Carly Simon and more. He's also done session work with Jimi Hendrix, John B.Sebastian, Patti LaBelle, Stephen Stills, Richie Havens, and too many more to mention. Anyway, I just had to pass a copy of Buzzy's latest CD (really a publishing demo, but available to fans) to the boys of MF. No need to tell you all about how friendly, funny, and humble they are in Real Life. Haven't heard back from them, but I hope they have enjoyed his stuff which is perhaps even more diverse than theirs! Queen Lisa, back me up on this! His diversity is great for fans with brains, but the record industry never knew quite what to do with him. A Canadian company, Unidisc, recently reissued 4 of his albums, but they just lost the rights. So, you might be able to find some left in the stores if you're up there. OK, enough non-Frutent here, if'n you're interested, please cruise over to Buzzy's website: http://www.cobaltclub.com/buzzy/ Peace and 5 Part Harmony, Dr. Xeno P.S.
