Talk Healthy

I finished my Larry Niven book of short stories (which was excellent, btw) and now I'm reading "Cause Celeb" by Helen Fielding. So far, it's pretty good.

It's amazing how many people don't have firm handshakes. When I'm interviewing, I always shake hands with the people and so often it's like shaking hands with a wet fish. I hope I don't shake hands like a wet fish. I'm reading a collection of short stories by Larry Niven now. I'm enjoying it so far,...

I just picked up "The Lincoln Lawyer" at the airport. It's okay. Standard lawyer thriller type thing.

I prefer softcovers, because I do a lot of reading in bed, and it's easier to hold up a softcover.

I picked up "The Zero Game" by Brad Meltzer from the markdown table when I needed a book to read to keep me occupied while I was waiting for floor guys to come to my house. So far it's a real page-turner. One thing happened that completely shocked the hell out of me!

Me too, Silvia. I was like, PLEASE, make something good happen. PLEASE!! And then the book ended and nothing good had happened. I still liked the book, it was a good read, but come on!

LOL, that reminds me of on Friends when Ross & Rachel were singing "Baby Got Back" to their baby.

My top 2:

Never Let Me Go (Alex Awards (Awards))
Kazuo Ishiguro

Mallory's Oracle

I finally finished The Mirror Maze (took forever, because the chapters are super short and I read a chapter before bed every day). I just started "In A Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson. I loved his other book "A Walk in the Woods" so I'm hoping this one will be good too. It's ab...

Crystal, I didn't want to tell her because I didn't want to spoil it for her. But yeah, I was the same way. Kept waiting for something good to happen. No dice.

Annster, I absolutely loved both "The Time Traveller's Wife" and "The Kite Runner". Both fabulous.

I'm still reading the same books I was last time I posted, so I won't repeat myself.

Is Murphy Jones the only cat with a last name? Where did his name come from?

Do we know your DH's name, Suzanne? I seem to think you always call him DH? What is his name?

I read A Fine Balance. I liked it, but holy depressing.

My neighbours when I was growing up had 2 cats, Albert and Oliver. Their names always cracked me up. My cat was named Fluffy, thankyouverymuch.

Sometimes when that happens you can kinda squidgle them back on there. Or maybe try super glue?

I did hear that. Did you hear that the guy they originally asked to do the screenplay told them he loved the name "Snakes on a Plane" - that it was the best name for a movie EVER. He said something like "don't you dare change it to something like UsAir Flight Who-Gives-A-Fuck", a...

I don't know, but my friend told me that's what they did! And he went from going "drip drip drip" to going "whoosh!". Those were her words.

My friend's cat had such a bad UTI they had to remove his pickle!

I'm currently listening to Everything is Illuminated on audiobook and loving it. It cracks me up.
