I have an issue with Max Barry; a rocky relationship that forces me to simultaneously love and hate his writing. You see, Max Barry's ideas are brilliant. Truly inspired. I wish that I'd stolen them before he ever set pen to paper and published all the books that he would come to write. The problem is that the conclusion to these wonderful ideas is absolutely abysmal. Take Company, the third novel published by Max Barry. It's set in a wonderful environment; a business in which every dep… read review

Ah University. What a wonderf- no. Okay. It's kind of a pain. I'm in a dead-end English degree, one year away from my BA. I say dead-end only because I have ABSOLUTELY no desire to teach, so a degree in English is about as useful as Sarah Palin would have been in office (I kid, I kid). Nonetheless, I'm taking a creative writing concentration and so I hope to improve my writing skills. Because girls only like guys with skills.

The point? Er ... I guess I lost it somewhere in … view post

About Me:

You know how there was always one kid in school who was the center of attention? They were popular, funny, witty, cool - everyone adored them and they could do no wrong at all. This was the kid that grew up to be an astronaut or a brain surgeon, make billions of dollars, and sleep over at the Playboy Mansion every other weekend. Yeah, that wasn't me.

Hey Steven,
Great sense of humor, your about me - funny !!
You ratings list - very helpful. I am putting A Song of Ice and Fire on my to read list.
Bianca Moon says:

I read anything that's given to me or that interests me...Most of the times I read books in english and french...most of them are novels but I like to read the comic book every once in awhile. How about you?
Bianca Moon says:

That, I totally agree on. Being invisible isn't so bad.

Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

Are those dead fish in your hand, Mr. Peters?? You look mighty triumphant about the murder of those innocent fish. The lake makes a lovely background for your killing spree.

*mischievous grin*

Hey, did you ever get any more of those Terry Pratchett books you preordered?
Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

Haha we both know you are a big softie at heart. It's your profile so you can add or not add whoever you like. I think you might be over thinking it. I add whoever adds me. =D
Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

It makes you a bit of a meanie. =P I really enjoy all the communication I have between a lot of the people on the community. You are missing out Mr. Peters!
Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

Privacy is sooooo not 21st century. lol. You could make your notes private in your settings so that only you could see them. That takes the fun out of it though. I wish I could send longer notes. Hmmm
Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

Hey! Check out the new feature! This is so perfect because now I can spam you with notes. *snickers* I think this calls for a notes war!

Noticed that you've read some Hemingway, and thought you'd like this if you haven't read it already. I actually like Carver better than Hemingway, but that might just be what I've read by each of them.

Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

Neil Gaiman

See product details

This book's a collection of short fiction with a smattering of poetry. Each story contains something haunting, hinting at horror, though none of them evolve into that story. It's a collection of beginnings and if you liked Smoke & Mirrors then you'll enjoy Gaiman's second collection of short stories.

My first novel for adults (my twentieth book, wow!) is now available for pre-order. It's set in the same world as the short story "The Storyteller" in the collection of the same name. I think the cover speaks for itself. Gods, demons, possession, heroes ...

Just a quick announcement to friends of my latest book, #3 in the "Cassandra Virus" trilogy. Jordan, Helen, and Cassandra are back in The Black Box. For those of you who really liked the Harveys, Harvey Two is in this one as well, but for once, he might actually be on Jordan's side.

And while I'm here, I'd like to announce that my own new book, the fourth in the Warlocks of Talverdin series, is now out. It's about a new generation of characters, so although it follows on from the first three novels, it can also be read as an adventure that stands on its own.

Marlowe Paul

A really funny, suspense-filled story, about a Victorian teen whose love-interest is a werewolf, whose arch-enemy is a crazed war-criminal, and whose summer holiday is turning out to involve too many assassins. I admit Marlowe is a friend of mine, but I'd love this book even if I'd never met the man!

A very promising first novel. I've reviewed it on my profile page, so I won't say much about it here beyond that I enjoyed it immensely and if you like well-written, non-simplistic teen fantasy, it's worth picking up. (And hard to put down once you do.)
