The Wrong Boy by Willy Russell

A story about a troubled boys diary to Morrissey. Thought it sounded a bit rubbish at first and only bought it for the Morrissey connection but it's a really good read.

They made it into a movie or miniseries? I totally missed that.

As much as I love novels and poetry, I like short stories best of all. There is something just so perfectly elegant about a well-written short story, y'know? How it encapsulates everything you need to tell a tale, it's just awesome.

Also: The Martian Chronicles is one of my all-time favorites.

I've been reading a lot of Jon Ronson's stuff recently - very funny, and sometimes a bit alarming: 'Out of the Ordinary', 'Them: Adventures With Extremists' (where he gets unmasked as a Jew at an Islamic Jihadist training camp, and gets on the wrong side of Dr Ian Paisley in Africa - lol!) and 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' (recently filmed with George Clooney and Ewan McGregor in the starring roles). He has a very funny, self-deprecating way of writing, and I recommend his books wholeheartedly.

I just read Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz. Now I've moved onto Fear Nothing by the same author.

I gave Twilight Eyes 3 and a half out of 5 stars.

I'm now done with Fear Nothing and my brain feels like mush. I have almost an entire shelf filled with Dean Koontz...and supposedly the man writes 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Workaholic. o___- I think I'm halfway through his novels by now...and that's only counting the ones still in print!

I also recall feeling my brain turn to mush after reading The Tommyknockers by: Stephen King.

Has anyone else ever gotten Brain Fog after reading a book that didn't really stimulate you?

Anyways, now I'm onto reading The Road to Madness which is a collection of short stories authored by H.P. Lovecraft.

I agree. They can say so much with so little.
