Hey, me too! Good taste is timeless. Would love to hear your guys' thoughts on this book if you don't mind! I've been considering picking this one up. It sounds interesting, but I must admit I was drawn to it at first by the very cool cover! I'm a little over a third of the way through it. So far the story is intriguing & the writing is lucid. More when I finish, if you wish.

I like Boyle. Drop City is one of my favorite novels, BUT I didn't like The Women. Just didn't work for me. Was it the period aspect that you didn't like? Perhaps you prefer the Boyle that writes about more contemporary matters...which, of course, he does brilliantly e.g. 'Tortilla Curtain' and 'Talk Talk' Greasy Lake too. I read another novel about this aspect of Wright's life called Loving Frank by Nancy Horan that I liked better. Boyle's writing style felt "grafted" on to this material. Just my 2 cents. As they always say YMMV.

Nope to those 2. I've never even been to the clickandbuy site. I did buy the Evans: Turn Out The Stars from the Best Buy site that I had never used before. My other music buying has been much curtailed lately - a few things from Amazon sellers & that's about it.

Geraldine Brooks: People Of The Book

Matt Brewer Quartet with Aaron Parks, piano

That's what happened to me. The card was canceled immediately, & only a $3.50 charge had been made. That charge was removed & a new card is being sent. The mystery is where the card info. was obtained by the fraudster. At least the fraud alerts that credit card companies use seem to work.

Be careful. That's all I'll say. Fortunately my credit card company picked this fraud up within 10 minutes.

Ana Castillo: The Guardians

Braxton: For Alto

Finally - The Long March!!

Ben Webster - 8CD Storyville Set

Josh Berman: Old Idea

Diego Rivera: The Complete Murals (Taschen) Not music - but a great book.

Brewers rolling again. Of course the Mets appear to stink.

The Art & Soul Of Houston Person (3 CD set)

Antonya Nelson: Some Fun

Really, really sloooow. I don't have the patience today. Will check back tomorrow.

Grace Kelly

Roberta Gambarini

Got her latest cd, it sounds a little too pretty, sometimes she sounds a little like a very tame Amy Winehouse and on other tracks like Norah Jones. I would not buy it again! Her 1st CD is better IMO.

Just (finally) received shipping notice.

Hoffman blows save for first time this season. Brewers still win 9-8 in 11 innings to sweep Cleveland.
