Loralie -
I'm reading in publishing order, as I started reading them several years ago. I've read several other authors on the subject as well, but enjoy Phillipa Gregory the most.

The movie was a big disappointment, which they generally are. The director and film editor don't have the luxury of keeping all the details that make the story so much richer.

<---- really enjoying Good Omens

Told you!

There's a few things that I'm kind of about, but according to wiki, the American publishings clear up some things about Warlock in an addendum chapter.

The Nearest Exit by Olen Steinhauer
The Theory of Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith

"The 2010 FFIEC BSA Examination Manual" by Satan.

I'm a little over half-way into Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series.

Why We Love the Church, by Kevin De Young & Ted Kluck

I read these in between the other series and random books that I read as well. Love them! (I think I am ready to start book 5, so I am just starting them really.)

I can totally see why they made them into graphic novels/comics. I love the action/fighting without all the Romeo and Juliet 'I'll-just-die-without-you' stuff that you often find in this genre!

A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire

Yes, I am addicted to them at this point and will keep reading until I'm caught up. They get more "steamy" as you go but I wouldn't exactly call it romance and definitely not the Romeo and Julietish.

It was ok...I liked Wicked Better.

I'm reading Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler.

That is exactly what I heard. And dont get me wrong, I don't mind the steam one bit! (Rachel and Kisten, for example) Just not the R&J stuff. Gag.

I reread Wicked and Son of a Witch within the last 2 weeks before reading this and I really am enjoying the flow of the story.

It seems like the author has the whole story in his mind and that he has to get out, but it is taking more than one book to do it. I love the way he ties all the books together and includes parts of the original books that the movie left out or re-wrote (like when Liir passes Tip on the path).

I have also read the first 2 books in L. Frank Baum's Oz series and I may read all 16 books in the original Oz series. It seems like Maguire did. Oh, and did I mention, the bear and I have always been obsessed with Oz since she was very little ?

I need to get done before June 22

Just getting started on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

I don't think anything in the Anita books could ever be described as 'Romeo and Juliet.' Unless maybe you are referring to how destructive some of the attractions are....

Just so you know, I almost choked on my bagel when I read that!

Anytime you have a liquid-snorting, food choking laugh, it's a good day!

I thought that post was the funniest thing I'd seen in a long time.

Currently reading "Truman" a biography of Harry Truman by David McCullough. quite the interesting read.

I've been reading History of the Expedition under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clark, to the Sources of the Missouri, Thence across the Rocky Mountains and down the River Columbia to the Pacific Ocean. Performed during the years 1804-5-6. Seriously.

Sh*t My Dad Says...don't know the author.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest by Stieg Larsson

Tremendous!

Going to start Slaughterhouse Five tonight (hopefully).

All these threads about steakhouses and slaughterhouses are making me hungry!
