New Review! THE DAY OF THE LOCUST by Nathanael West
It's a Hollywood story of the sharpest wit; it's timeless, it's unkind, and it's bitterly amusing. West's last book before his early death. hmmmm

New Review! WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN? by BUdd Schulberg
For my money, still the best Hollywood-themed novel ever written. Oddly enough, it still hasn't been filmed...despite Ben Stiller wanting to make it. I wonder why, he asked, glancing at the sharp edges of the novel's characterizations....

New Review! THE ASTOUNDING, THE AMAZING, & THE UNKNOWN by Paul Malmont
It's a long title for a fun book. SciFi legends like Heinlein and Asimov doing spy work during WWII! We've all heard of the Philadelphia Experiment...well, here's a novelistic take on it that does the facts justice.

SOMEONE remembered my birthday a little early...I thought it was my Gentleman Caller, but he (disgruntledly!) disclaimed responsibility for sending me a four-pack of Mother's brand Taffy flavored cookies, aka "Best Junk Food EVER!"
Amazon put the wrong card on the order, of this I am sure, as it says "We hope you like it, Chris and family." The only Chris I know well enough to think would send me a gift 1) spells her name "Cris" and b) would NEVER send such an unhealthful, bad-for-me thing! So, whoever it was, thanks most awfully and now I'm slicing open the first pack of the four. *smooch*
