Still no book review, but I think I have other ramblings here...

I have completely finished I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb. Phenomenal book, let me tell you. I just can't capture into words how brilliant a read this was for me. I even had to stop reading for a couple of weeks to let it all sink in completely. It was a book about family life and one man's struggles with it and the world tied together with such complexity it tore my heart out at some point and made me laugh hysterically at others. The amazing part is, that complexity wasn't daunting and it wasn't so bogged down by it... it read like a work of art, and I'm so damn happy I read it.

Whew.. okay, so there's my tentative review. I can't really say anymore about it.

Writer's night at the WC diner is still going on Wednesday nights (although sometimes I think we end up talking about political issues more than writing.. lol). Regardless, the girls (and boys *nudges Mike*) are great sounding boards for my ideas. I'm one of the few who can apparently sit down and actually write a preliminary synopsis and outline... my fear is that maybe that's all I can do. I fear a blank computer screen and I keep putting everything off... including the main character's complete story (so sue me, I need to know what exactly she did in her life.. lol).

I also have to start reading Adrienne's book soon. I do. I really am interested in her book on a primal level.. it's fantasy afterall. I'm just so hooked on some other books now (damn L.A. Banks and her Crimson Moon series!) that it's hard to get away and read something else. And of course Barnes and Noble never called me about the new Charlaine Harris book... I thought it came out in May. They have my phone number, since it's on hold there. Maybe I'll mosey on down there today to see what's up (and pick up the 2nd Crimson Moon novel.

For all you tv fans out there... True Blood starts this coming Sunday!
