I haven't posted in here for a while. I've read a few books since last time.
No Lifeguard on Duty, Janice Dickenson
Absolutely fantastic! Bitchy gossiping at its best. She's a big old whore and I love her! Highlights include her anecdote of taking part in a Calvin Klein fashion show, with an unmentionable substance dripping down her legs.
The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova
This is a different take on the old Dracula story. It's fiction, but uses historic fact to link Vlad the Impaler with the old legends. It could be really interesting, but is just such a slow read and quite dull, to be honest. Also, the author's style is pretty smug. It's her first book, and she's obviously very pleased with herself.
Wicked, Gregory Maguire
I was expecting a lot from this, but was left very disappointed. Friends had recommended it ages ago, before the musical came out, but I never got around to reading it until now. I love the idea behind it, and it started off really well, but I got sick of it about half way through. The ending seemed really rushed, as if the author got sick of it, too.
