"David and Goliath". I'm so excited. Gladwell has to be one of my favourite authors.

This is written by Cheryl Strayed, an excellent book that I am really enjoying. For some reason I love books about people that are lost in their lives, just like I seem to have always been and am afraid I always will be. It is creative non-fiction.
Peace

I love Lovecraft. His style is a bit over the top, but he can tell quite a story.

How's that?

(115,900 posts)The emails I get from a friend are always in Lovecraft's style. He's a composer. We've been considering writing a Lovecraft opera.

Ruth Rendell is a fantastic writer, but unfortunately she's pigeonholed as a genre writer and she's much more than that.
