If so, how about a trade? A steamy title for a steamy title? Because I'm reading some real page turning material. So hot it stings my fingers when I'm turning the pages (ouchie, ooh, owie) :oops: Marina,

I'm so glad you are encouraging people to pick up trashy novels. I've been addicted to them for a couple of years now, and people look at me like I'm crazy when I say what I like to read. Since you're a vampire and all, try the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris (now made into the show "True Blood" on HBO) or the Carpathian series by Christine Feehan. Hi Marina!

Hello Marina, You mention picking a novel at random. That requires a strong stomach, especially if the novel turns out to be horrible! Listed below are some "pulp" items that I have enjoyed. I did not discover most them on my own, most of they were recommendations from someone else. Item (6) is links to two short poems -- worth looking at them now! 1) Mickey Spillane, detective stories -- <i>The Long Wait</i>, <i>One Lonely Night</i>. 2) Donald Hamilton, detective/adventure (some consider his Matt Helm series of novels to be an America version of the James Bond series). 3) As a rule, I do not enjoy Agatha Christie's books. But the following four are exceptions: <i>Death on the Nile</i>, <i>And Then There Were None</i>, <i>The A.B.C. Murders</i>, and <i>The Mysterious Mr. Quin</i>. 4) In the past, I have watched (1 hour, black and white) Perry Mason shows on TV several times. I threw away my TV -- if I had a TV, I would find it hard to resist watching them every time they came on! Also, Kojak and Streets of San Francisco. 5) There are also some movies I have enjoyed, but will skip this for now -- except for mentioning Chocolat. 6) Poems: <a href="http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/if.html" rel="nofollow">Rudyard Kipling's <i>If</i></a> and <a href="http://www.cowboypoetry.com/badger.htm#Westerner" rel="nofollow"> Badger Clark's<i>The Westerner</i>(especially the last two lines)</a>. <b>--Hs4Mm</b> . .
Hello Marina,

You mention picking a novel at random. That requires a strong stomach, especially if the novel turns out to be horrible!

Listed below are some “pulp” items that I have enjoyed. I did not discover most them on my own, most of they were recommendations from someone else. Item (6) is links to two short poems — worth looking at them now!

1) Mickey Spillane, detective stories — The Long Wait, One Lonely Night.

2) Donald Hamilton, detective/adventure (some consider his Matt Helm series of novels to be an America version of the James Bond series).

3) As a rule, I do not enjoy Agatha Christie’s books. But the following four are exceptions: Death on the Nile, And Then There Were None, The A.B.C. Murders, and The Mysterious Mr. Quin.

4) In the past, I have watched (1 hour, black and white) Perry Mason shows on TV several times. I threw away my TV — if I had a TV, I would find it hard to resist watching them every time they came on! Also, Kojak and Streets of San Francisco.

5) There are also some movies I have enjoyed, but will skip this for now — except for mentioning Chocolat.

6) Poems: Rudyard Kipling’s If and Badger Clark’sThe Westerner(especially the last two lines).

I know few people outside my own family who LIKE to read, and fewer still can do so Well because they don't do it much at all. Reading is all that's kept me sane and alive for all my life, because I can pick up a book and fall right into it. No matter HOW Bad life may suck, give me a good book and it's better than any drug. Not to mention it does NOT rot my brain. Not sure how things are in Europe, Marina, but if you're at all curious about REAL Americans, and Real MEN, read anything by Louis L'Amour, especially Reilly's Luck and Ride the Dark Trail. His short stories ain't bad, either. You can't enjoy reading if the subject matter is boring you to death, and I think most people don't realize that there are OTHER subjects besides biology, Science, World History, Civics, or any of the OTHER over-condensed nonsense they teach in Public Schools. I look at books as my own version of Escapism. My worst fear is of going blind. KY Jim I’ve been trying to tell people that for YEARS!

"As I lay dying" by William Falkner...http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b_0_4?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=as+i+lay+dying&sprefix=as+i That one is tricky. It's a story of a mother in an extended family who is passing away during the story and the family members bring her to her burial plot, which seems to be a long way from where they originally come from. Each new chapter is titled by the characters' name who sees the death and procession of their mother to her plot. The write as though this is their Point of View in a different chapter. Very interesting. I was not able to get through "The sound and the fury" by the same author... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b_1_13?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=the+sound+and+the+fury+by+william+faulkner&sprefix=the+sound+and&sprefix=the+sound+and The first chapter is through the eyes of a mentally challenged child.....Whoa. A bit more then I could handle initially. I'll take another crack at it sometime when I am a bit more courageous. Happy reading.

Classics have become a book that everyone talks about but no one reads. These books are AMAZING and among my favorite. I would recommend “Treasure Island” or “20,000 leagues under the sea”.
