Hi gg,
I know what you are saying about the bookstore habit. I said on here somewhere that a bookstore is my crackhouse.
While this may not be of much help to you because I realize that you do not want to schlep books down I-75, I thought I would pass it along anyway. Just in case.
Yesterday, I had to make a second trip to IKEA. That's another story. Anyway, IKEA is relatively close to a Barnes and Noble. So, of course, I had to pay B&N a visit. I had not been to B&N for awhile, and maybe I had just forgotten about this, but I had such a nice surprise at the selection of all the hardcovers for around 5 bucks. It was a big selection. I bought one by Maureen Dowd and another by Curtis Sittenfeld.
I had never heard of Curtis Sittenfeld until last week. She (yes it is a she) was all over msn.com for her new book coming out in September. The September pub is called "American Wife." And when that one comes out, I am going to run to the bookstore and slap my retirement money down and run home and read it cover to cover.
And as soon as I finish "American Wife" on September 2, I think it is, I will run into the kitchen and flip on this computer, and I will write a review, right here on "Talk of the Books."
And I already know what I am going to call the thread. I am going to call it "Steamy Republican Sex." Yes, I am. That is what is being said about it in the pre-pub stuff.
And when the title appears, some TOTVers might feel grouchy because they will think such a title belongs in the "Political" forum not the book forum. And some will think that such a title belongs in the "Joke" forum. And some will think that Boomer is just trying to be oxymoronic. But many will know better.
Well, anyway. I digress. And my day awaits and I have to leave this kitchen. But I did want to mention those B&N deals on hardback bestsellers from awhile back. I don't know if all B&N's do that. But I would assume so.
But back to that future thread title, "Steamy Republican Sex." I know it will make ya look.
See you in September with that review. Maybe somebody will beat me to it and write it first. That would be great. But I just hope they use that title for the thread.
Boomer
