RichBecker A Must Read: Sacré Bleu

RichBecker Tinkers
After sitting in a drawer for two or three years, Harding eventually found a buyer with the Bellevue Literary Press, best described as a nonprofit publisher as a project of the New York University School of Medicine. Even then, the print run and advance were hardly outstanding — 3,500 books…

RichBecker Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury sets a blaze as it's made available as an e-book for the first time. The merit of 451 remains its ability to look beyond the dystopia and into the paradoxical nature of people. http://bit.ly/rFMBn0

RichBecker John Dies At The End
If any book ever deserved to have a warning label, it would be John Dies At The End by David Wong (a.k.a. Jason Pargin). The label wouldn't be fancy, something more generic like a "Hello My Name Is ..." sticker scratched out with blue ink and then renamed with a black Sharpie: "Results May…

RichBecker Any time. It's fun and purely entertaining. I'm not sure what people hope to get out of it.

RichBecker A Stir Of Echoes
A Stir Of Echoes is timeless Matheson — an early work that delves into the paranormal and transformation of an ordinary man. Although under appreciated when compared to his other novels, the story reads like it could have been written yesterday. http://bit.ly/rqXIXU
1 person likes this.scribadiva I saw the movie, enjoyed it. Didn't know the author behind it. Will look him up. I love movies, but books of this genre are better than the movies so often. Thanks, Rich.
RichBecker You bet. Yeah, Matheson has hand his hand in so very much but had never really become a household name. He almost did, with the I Am Legend remake. I really enjoyed the book.

tonyberkman Bruna's Miffy Books have given hours of entertainment to kids and adults alike.
The Miffy character was created by Bruna in the late fifties. She's very similar to the Hello Kitty character. The inspiration for Miffy came from Bruna's observations of a small white rabbit hopping around his home while on vacation with his wife and children. Taken with the rabbit, he attempted…

RichBecker The Maze Runner
The Maze Runner by James Dashner clunks along in a surprisingly linear and confined fashion, much like the maze. So why does the book with so many mixed reviews deserve a movie? Because somehow it all works. http://bit.ly/q1HXPh
