from the publisher of Geek Love:
This audacious, mesmerizing novel should carry a warning: "Reader Beware." Those entering the world of carnival freaks described by narrator Olympia Binewski, a bald, humpbacked albino dwarf, will find no escape from a story at once engrossing and repellent, funny and terrifying, unreal and true to human nature.
...sounds good.

One that I've read several times and intend to read several times more, is To Kill A Mockingbird. It's just one of those books...

I started "Cat Heaven" by Cynthia Rylant, but it made me cry, so I had to put it down.
Currently engrossed in "Antique Intaglios" printed in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg again) in 1978. Out of print, very rare. And the 1922 edition of "Catalog of Engraved Gems" in The Metropolitan Museum's collection. Only 1000 printed. I got it at a garage sale for $1.00.
I know these are not novels, but thats what I'm reading. Humans read other stuff.
Fran- Very good movie too. Can you spot Jack Nicholson?

Oh man, I am so embarrassed.......
I'm breaking in one of those Das Whatever key boards. Yeah, right.
I meant Robert Duval, not Jack Nicholson.
So did you notice Robert Duval in the movie?
