I dipped into T C Boyles new novel When The Killing's Done and it was very hard to stop sneaking a read but I really wanted to start Cory's book so that will have to wait. There is also a book being written by a mutual friend of ours and the drip feed that is coming my way is keeping me fanging for more. Apart from this, there's a new Annie Proulx I'm getting a whiff of that is getting my juices flowing.Krissy Kneenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196014057831018914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907246643854876980.post-49154939068908790832010-12-23T12:39:09.630+10:002010-12-23T12:39:09.630+10:00Looking forward to May very much - for both your b...Looking forward to May very much - for both your book, Chris, and for Favel's.

I wish we were not coming out at the same time either but I am very very proud to be in such amazing company. I just read a Robert Drewe story called Buffalo Sunday that is the best thing I have read for a long time - it reminded me very much of your writing. You are a brilliant writer and you have the best book cover EVER. <br />May is going to be BIG for Australian writing.

Shteyngart in his traipsing author tour has been praising and commenting his cover (though i imagine it's in his interests to do so), saying that if you push all the buttons the book powers on, and also likening it to that loved-hated game Twister, with all its debauchery etc.<br /><br />keep the cover commentary coming Currie.Sam Cooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671623430928246783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907246643854876980.post-86260635830914888422010-07-29T23:26:49.633+10:002010-07-29T23:26:49.633+10:00???????????? what????????????? what?Suga Coolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156545672344013110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907246643854876980.post-21796094518178646072010-05-26T11:07:50.517+10:002010-05-26T11:07:50.517+10:00I have Fox Studios booked and ready.I have Fox Studios booked and ready.Christopher Curriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594209301447893340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907246643854876980.post-9703907735205432232010-05-26T10:29:44.875+10:002010-05-26T10:29:44.875+10:00So, when can I read operas you have written for yo...So, when can I read operas you have written for your cats? Because I have a few songs that my cat sings with me accompanying him on theremin. It's so great, he does this thing where he stares up at you, then wipes his nose with his paw, and ha! he licks his balls, just before he launches in to the tough aria bit- it's great. Then, at the end he chases his tail till he falls over. It's brilliant, you gotta see it. He's really talented, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mum. Oh, and he has this great costume where he looks like Tinkerbell. Maybe I'll post something on you tube. Anyway, I'd be happy to collaborate or something?DrWocknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508399213411611554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907246643854876980.post-53354357170725158582010-05-25T22:01:38.500+10:002010-05-25T22:01:38.500+10:00Furious Horsealicious!!!!!!!Furious Horsealicious!!!!!!!of thieveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983931586087473212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907246643854876980.post-10726202064906523822010-04-29T14:24:06.846+10:002010-04-29T14:24:06.846+10:00Oh my deity!
