I don't read as much so-called "genre" writing as I maybe ought to--I'm going to begin addressing that, by promising to read your two recommendations--one of Terry Pratchett's, and that Ian Rankin's "The Resurrection Man".... <br />The question you referenced about a customer in a bookstore, asking "Has she written anything else", wowsers, I don't know WHAT TO SAY, to that. Kinda scary someone could be so profoundly ignorant. :(<br />Oh well, at least they were reading her.... <br />Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-41248019778432951432012-12-03T03:56:33.368-05:002012-12-03T03:56:33.368-05:00oh - but my favourite story is that i used to know...oh - but my favourite story is that i used to know someone who worked in a bookshop and was genuinely asked by a customer if Anne Frank had written anything else<br /><br />I only wish it were a jokeDon't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-64600174023927122392012-12-03T03:51:25.677-05:002012-12-03T03:51:25.677-05:00I've always loved reading, but i can understan...I've always loved reading, but i can understand that not everyone has the time or patience - i guess its like any hobby or interest, you either get it or you don't<br /><br />I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi/Fantasy and have read pretty much everything by Terry Pratchett, who is a very witty writer when at his best (try "Mort" or "The Truth" if you're only going to read one)<br /><br />More recently I discovered the Inspector Rebus novels by Ian Rankin which i loved because they were so multi-layered and you really had to focus on them (again, if you're only going to read one then i would say The Ressurection Men)<br /><br />I'm rarely without a book of some sort - right now I'm reading a biography of Bob Dylan that my friend was giving away. I'm never really sure with rock biographies as they tend to gloss things over, but this one is really goodDon't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-81938286330539926482012-12-01T13:49:25.310-05:002012-12-01T13:49:25.310-05:00A note on "Unsaid"--it is from the autho...A note on "Unsaid"--it is from the author, Neil Abramson.
