Reading it for the second time. Has anyone else read it?

No, it's worth reading though huh? (Obviously).

I like The Beach, by Alex Garland. Puts the movie to shame. Absolutely brilliant unputdownable book.

Yes, I found this an excellent, transporting book. Didn't even bother to see the movie b/c the male lead chosen (Leonardo diCaprio) for the film version made my face go all squinchy just thinking about it.

does it help those of us who aren't?

if we're onto the subject of Alex Garland then his second novel, thet tesseract, is far superior to the beach, which i always thought was little more than lord of the flies starring some big kids instead.

top recommendations:
'hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world' or 'the elephant vanishes' by Haruki Murakami

japanese literature is well cool...

Interesting point, but everyone redoes William Golding. I mean, how many versions of Pincher Martin have you seen out there? It's hard to do anything better than Golding. I recommend Fire Down Below.

I am reading it now, and funny thing Jennifer Weiner is in my good friends pre-natal class right now, I actually think she is due any day. Funny what a small world it is. But I am loving the book, very funny.

Jennifer Weiner is here October 22, and I am going to get to meet her!!!!!

I hope I don't wet myself.

She wrote the book that is now the Cameron Diaz movie "In Her Shoes".

smellyrayzin · 10-29-2005, 05:31 AM

Yes! I've read it! i really liked it

priceyfatprude · 10-30-2005, 03:44 AM

Jennifer Weiner is a ****ing riot. Go see her on her book tour if you can.

i'm starting it up once again.... i just finished reading it last week. i had to run to the half priced bookstore and bought two more of her books. didnt find "in her shoes," but i got the others at great prices. "good in bed" was great! i loved it....

Yes and really liked it! You should also read 'jemima jones'. If you're into sensual romance, I just bought an e-book titled: Captured by Celia Jade, found at extasybooks.com It's a historical romance based in 17th century Spain. I found it sexy and romantic.

Found this at my local charity shop and remembered your recommendation so I'm currently reading it. I have to say it's kind of depressing me... although I kind of like it

Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! The horror of buying second hand books...... I thought I was saving the planet BUT
Got to the end and there were a few pages missing right at the end. (not only that but it was my holiday book as well....)
I will google - unless someone wants to pm me the ending?

priceyfatprude · 11-14-2006, 07:19 PM

You will have to PM me or read the book to find out!
