Angels

Mhmm, this book is great because it takes place in Los Angeles. A girl from Dublin takes refuge there and its a culture shock for her and for me it was like going back home. My favourite part in this book is when someone tries to order fat free water.
You know, LA is sort of eccentric. Its true. We do have oxygen kiosks. Yes. You can pay for oxygen!
In Los Angeles, I have had a shot glass of wheat grass. It looks like this.



I am pretty sure that they have this in New York as well, but there is nothing like a fruit smoothie followed by a shot of grass with the desert sun shining down on you. The desert sun, my los angeles shining sun. A lot of people seem to forget about it being a desert. It's why i am always cold, fool.

Pleasure of My Company

Though I still really love the way Steve Martin writes, this book wasn't as good as Shopgirl. I really really really love shopgirl. Oh so much!!! I even want to buy the audio to shopgirl so I can listen to steve martin read it as I follow his words with my copy of the book. Yah, because I would do that. I am not a big fan of audio because I don't allow myself to get lost in the story if I am busy doing other things.
The Pleasure of My Company was just really really depressing. The guy character in this book was more of a wallflower than the girl in Shopgirl but she wasn't borderline creepy. This guy was..

Sloppy Firsts

This book reads like a teen book but B&N keeps it in fiction. I really liked it and I remember relating well to it, but I don't remember anything specific about it except for the fact that Krispy Kreme donuts were mentioned a whole bunch of times, and I've never had krisy kreme, so I didnt know what the big deal was. In Los Angeles, we had Wenchells. Or Winchells. I wasn't a big fan either way. And even now at Dunkin Donuts, I usually get a coffee and a muffin. No donuts for me. :)

Cloud of Sparrows

I really loved this book a lot and I seriously need to own it and re-read it. And when I re-read it, I am going to read the sequel. It takes place in Japan in 1861! There's even a little bit of romance in there. I am pretty sure its been picked up for a movie...and because its awesome.

Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes

Yeah. The Complete Stories Volume 1. It was pretty awesome. I went through a long phase of Sherlock Holmes. I shouldn't have read all of em at once though. I was sick to death by the end of it. :( And that's just WRONG! No one should be sick of Sherlock Holmes. :(

Interesting FACT: An episode of Sherlock Holmes was shot at Morrissey's house. Yay!!!

The Alchemist

Ah, yes. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. He is a beautiful writer. He has this way of being so simple and so meaningful. Its an art form. I did not take away as much from this one as I took away from a book i read later on in my life. I was bored at times, but I still appreciated its beauty.

Stardust

I was SO intrigued by this cover. And the star in this book-her name is Yvaine. So, yeah..it was pretty much awesome. The closest to being a star I'll ever get to. :)
