Queen Amaranthine Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I can't find a book cover for it--must be somewhat obscure? I found it in the public library--Christina Rossetti: A Writer's Life. I like her poetry and her life is quite interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

G_willy Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Sequel to Trainspotting, its a great read I would also recommend reading Trainspotting first, as great as the movie is...the book is, like always, much better Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 A writer at war - Vasily Grossmann Grossman is basically the Russian equivalent of Ernie Pyle during WWII. This is not really a collection of his articles, but more like passages from his articles and excerpts from his notes, some of which might have gotten him shot during the war had their existence been known. Pretty good stuff if you like this sort of thing, and if you like the details rather than the big picture stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

awatt Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 This is one certain instance where I'm willing to bet the movie will be better. Seriously. It's quite a gripping story so far--not sure a movie can really do it justice. Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyjimmy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 My reaction to that book was "Meh". I couldn't even finish it.Really? I'm just really digging the dialog.The characters are just that. "Characters". I find the banter back and forth simply terrific.The enunciation, the regional inflections make it sparkle.If this thing were a play; (and it may have been adapted at some point for all I know ) I could see this being a real 'hoot' to perform.
