She's a horrible author. I will admit that when I first got Interview with the Vampire, I couldn't put it down. But it wasn't because of the plot; it was that there were new things on every page to explore. But the series just degrades into vampiric sex porn (including what's written under the nom de plume Anne Roquelaire, I might add). Rice is a bad writer.

So far I only have 21 on my list of 50 so please, by all means, > send me ideas for good books! Read on....... Hello. Some people have made some great recommendations, although I don't necessarily agree with all of them. Here are some recommendations from me that I tried not to overlap with the other recommendations. "The Sorrows of Young Werther", Goethe (the first German Romantic writer) (also called `The Sufferings of Young Werther') "The Outsider" or "The Plague", Albert Camus (Camus is often associated with Existentialism although he never consider himself one. "The Outsider" won a Nobel Prize for Literature.) "All in the Timing", David Ives (collection of 14 very funny short plays) "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead", Tom Stoppard. (A play that follows the adventures of R. and G. after they exit from the foreground of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" while "Hamlet" unfolds in the background. A great movie as well.) If you like short stories, especially short stories with unexpected endings, then you should pick up "Switch Bitch" or "Tales of the Unexpected" by Roald Dahl. Yup, Roald Dahl, the famous children's author (he wrote "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The Big Friendsly Giant", "Matilda", "James and the Giant Peach"). His adult fiction is very good. Heck, read some of his children's stuff as well. He is a great writer. If you liked the movie "Fight Club", then you may want to pick up the book "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk. I haven't read it, but I read his latest effort, "Choke". I really liked "Choke". I just finished reading "Anil's Ghost" by Michael Ondaatje, author of "The English Patient", the book the movie "The English Patient" was based upon. It is a remarkable book -- very well written and extremely well researched. Alright, enough from me.

Very strange paranoid, self-condemning fantasy. I've heard that some people find the absurdities in it to be too off-putting, but I enjoyed it. Can't say that I liked "The Metamorphosis," though. My suggestions: Virginia Woolf - Mrs. DallowayI saw Ulysses on your list, and it's a great choice, often incredibly fun to read and emotionally stirring. Some people on the list may think that Woolf appropriated Joyce's style, and to an extent that seems true to me, but I find Mrs. Dalloway to be a compacted, female version of Ulysses. There's an exceptionally exciting suicide scene in Mrs. Dalloway. Gertrude Stein - The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas Stein's often been referred to as an important figure in the (proto-)Modernist literary movement. Well, whatever, The Autobiography... is another fun read since the written style is very conversational and informal which leads to these convoluted rambling sentences that are a joyride literally. Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita Very funny and utterly fascinating when I read it. Not so much about a suspect Frenchman's lusting after a "nymphet," more about the very act of writing. Also recommended are Nabokov's Pale Fire and Pnin, which I'm currently reading, and there have been passages of pure side-splitting comedy. He is just hilarious and brilliant, definitely requiring more than one read to gain a fuller appreciation of his unique litarary genius. Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of the Lion Very languid, poetical prose. Scenes sort of float and surface to the text without the restraint of conventional linear chronology. Sensual and lyric. Ondaatje also wrote The English Patient, which I didn't enjoy, but Anil's Ghost (which I'm also reading right now) is beautiful as well. I don't wish to blaspheme or anything, but Ondaatje seems possibly the Proust of our times, albeit in a *much* smaller (but just as intimate) scale. William Faulkner - Absalom, Absalom! An inheritor of Joyce's style, Faulkner employs his trademark sometimes-stream-of-consciousness prose with great, dramatic aplomb. I've heard that he was usually drunk when he wrote, and just the sheer audacity of the stylistic structure seems to confirm that, but when I read it, it blew me away. Lee "Do your dreams come true?"

I would also recommend "Invisible Monsters", also by Chuck Palahniuk for a good head trip. Those aside, I'd like to add anything by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Find one of the collections of short stories that includes "Rats in the Walls". Also, a little known author named William Browning Spencer. He's written several novels, all of them interesting: "Maybe I'll Call Anna" "Resume with Monsters" "Zod Wallop" "Irrational Fears" "The Return of Count Electric and Other Stories" - -Conrad Zimmerman ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 17:48:06 -0700 (PDT) From: mark alec Subject: Re: NPR- Coupons 1/100 - --- Bad Bender wrote: > > On some coupons, on the bottom, they have the value > as 1/100 of one cent.

Incidentally, as with any book, one may have to do a little prodding around before any piquing things fall into their laps. You seem to think that there is nothing worht more than casual notice in sex and sensuality, but many others feel differently. I could be wrong in generalizing you, but I felt that that was the implication of some of your remarks. I don't think she's any world-beater, but still, I don't think another stating their, fairly honest, opinion merited being lashed out at. All too often, people cannot understand others being different than they are, and so seek to change them by some silly means of force (for instance, I cannot comprehend the reasoning behind what it was you did, and so I write this letter), and it's fairly humbling.

Okay, I was at Taco Bell of all places, and I heard "Hey Pretty" for the first time not on my cd player. (this was actually the first time I heard any Poe on the radio, I don't know how) I went nuts. I asked the guy at the counter what station they were playing so I could give some positive feedback, but he said it was a satellite station or something. Fine.

You'll probably see some people selling Poe shows on eBay, on usenet, or other places on the net. *Please* don't buy them if they're overpriced. Overpriced being like over $5 for a tape or over $10 for a CD. I'd like to be able to say don't buy 'em at all, but that's unrealistic. Think about it this way: someone sells a CDR of the show you went to for $20 plus shipping. The CDR costs them 50 cents or less, and postage would be 55 cents. You would be way better off buying a $20 recorder yourself and taping your show. Plus, there is some pride you will have in taping a show yourself. You just need to stealth and have some restraint while seeing Poe to do this ::) And if we do have to resort to buying boots, there are plenty of people here who are able to make copies. For me personally, this isn't limited to APs at all, so if you see someone on eBay getting ripped off, give 'em a heads up! I've had no time to trade over the past month, but I will be making this a priority if I see e-vil sellers in abundance. That said...the tour is here, get ready to rock!!!!
