In the past year i have fallen in love with books by Torey Hayden. As a student of education and psychology i am utterly fascinated by her stories of helping children fight mutism and other amotional and behavioural problems. Any one else love her books?
Whose your favourite author?

| | | JEFFREY EUGENIDES
(The Virgin Suicides and Middlesex)
I think he did an amazing job of getting in the mind of a teenage "girl" who has a crush on her bestfriend for Part 3 of middlesex (the obscure object). (I was going through similar feelings while I was reading it and I really related to the character) ...The last page of the Virgin Suicides can speak for itself.
"in the end it didnt matter how old they'd been or that they were girls but only that they hadnt heard us calling - still do not hear us calling them.........alone in suicide, which is deeper than death and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together"
I also love Gregory Maguire because the way he combines politics with fairy tales is brilliant and I love his "voice". It's very harsh but it has a good flow. I feel the same about Jeffrey Eugenides writing. |

| | | k I've reconsidered and I'm going to have to say that while Jeffrey and Gregory are first, immediately after and all tied are:
J.D Salinger (I just read Nine Short Stories and am halfway through Franny and Zooey)
Irvine Welsch (I've only read Trainspotting and Porno but I want to read all of his work)
J.K. Rowling
and Hunter S. Thompson because Fear N loathing is just fucking hilarious. |

xxxxxxxxxxxx | I totally forgot about her. I read a book by her when I was in junior high I think. I forgot what it was called but it was about a little girl who was being molested and her teacher was trying to figure out what was going on or something. And she had a baby sister who was also being molested... Do you know the name of this book?  I think it was Ghost Girl or something along those line.. |

I know he's not a deep writer, but he's very amusing to me. |

| Did you think this after hearing that last song on the soundtrack Air did? The one where this passage is read?
It's good, but the song made me really appreciate it. |

I really enjoyed The Rules of Attraction and American Psycho.
Glamorama started out weak and got better whereas Lunar Park started out really good and turned to shit.
Less Than Zero just felt like a waste of time.
He makes me laugh and gets my dick hard. |
