Originally Posted By alexbook Well, "boring" might be overstating the case. They're no more poorly written than, say, Star Trek books. Besides, as you know, I have no life.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle I'm with SuzieQ. My Mom tried to get me to read the series since she was enjoying it so. I got through about two or three chapters of the first book before giving up. I tried, I just wasn't interested.
Originally Posted By MissCandice 1984 is one of my favorites, Dar, I hope you are enjoying it. I am still reading Grapes of Wrath but I am taking a break from it and reading a book called "The Jane Austen Book Club", some light fiction that is making me want to re-read Austen. I also just finished "Close Range" by Annie Prolux, short stories taking place in Wyiming. The book included the store "Brokeback Mountain".
Originally Posted By DAR Yeah it's pretty good so far. I'm also going to start Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman.
