I just can't get the picture out of my mind of Barak Obama in a fro wearing lots of bling, pointing a very large index finger at the TV camera, and uttering those words....

Did I mention I have a vivid imagination?

 

[The Wiz]

Yes, I always say I want to convert to English! When I used to read more period stuff (especially Thomas Hardy! OMG, Mayor of Casterbridge is one of the best books ever! And, the movie with Ciaran Hinds- if you haven't seen this, you have to see this) I'd always say this.

But, I want to convert to English Aristocracy. . . . I do not want to be a peasant!

lol

Kendra....English Aristocracy????...You are a member of The Emerald City...It doesn't get any more Aristocratic than that..LOL..The Wiz!(Looking for more peasants to convert)

Vick's...My all time favorite vampire novel(second only to Salem's Lot) is called They Thirst by Robert R. McCammon.....Not sure if it still in print but is an epic novel with great characters( and the first time I had ever heard of someone using a squirt gun to shoot Holy Water at vampires!)Great Book!The Wiz!

Have you read Boy's Life by Robert. R. McCammon? One of my favorites.

laynies......I have read Everything by McCammon...except the last two Nightbird? novels!....If you have the time read Swan Song(long book)..It is reminiscent of Stephen Kings The Stand!(except nuclear war instead of flu)....great read!!The Wiz!

Swan Song!!!!
I've worn out two paperback copies because I keep re-reading that story. I finally broke down and went on Ebay to find a hardbound illustrated copy but couldn't afford the signed Limited Edition:
SIGNED Lim Ed McCammon, SWAN SONG, 1st HB/DJ/SC, 1989 - eBay (item 380093663665 end time May-29-09 19:17:50 PDT)

The story of Swan Josh and Sister is one of my all-time favorites!

I have two other authors that I absolutely love: Tim Dorsey and Christopher Moore. Dorsey's books include an antihero named Serge and the humor is dark(if you're familiar with Carl Hiassen, you'll recognize the style). Moore's books are just zany.

I guess I will hold on you my yellowed old paperback copy from '89..LOL....Hope you get a chance to read They Thirst...even if your not crazy about vampire genre it is still a great read!....I will have to give a look into the others you mentioned..Thanks!!The Wiz!

I did read it, I'm sure of it. I have most of his books in paperback and read them all years ago. Sounds like it's time for another round

Still having a great weekend!!! Built a chicken coop for my niece/God daughter yesterday. Also played keyboards for the church, then went to the picnic at the park where we did a concert for the neighborhood.
That was a blast!!!

We'll have to see what more fun and excitement today brings!!!

Hope that you're having a wonderful time!!! I gotta get some of those brats you're touting! My mouth is watering already and I haven't had breakfast yet!
