EDRG:3321 All Classes
Greetings everyone! I found a video link regarding the "Stiletto Stoners" that we discussed today in class. This link is more informative as well as a little bit longer than the one we saw today in class. Here is the link:

For this weeks blog there are a few options. You may blog about chapter 8 if you must but I would prefer that you blog about some of your favorite books of Fiction. Tell us a little bit about the books that you like as well as give us a web link (if it is available) so that we may become more familiar with the book as well as its author.
As you all know one of my favorite authors is Stephen King! I love almost all of his work, now he really knows fiction. I think that he lives more in his fictitious world than he does in reality, I guess that is why he is such a great writer. Here are some books of his that I recommend to you all as well as his official website:
http://www.stephenking.com/library/bachman_novel/thinner.html
On Writing is both a textbook for writers and a memoir of Stephen's life and will, thus, appeal even to those who are not aspiring writers. If you've always wondered what led Steve to become a writer and how he came to be the success he is today, this will answer those questions.
Several years after his wife's death, novelist Mike Noonan still suffers writers block. A dream inspires him to return to the couple's summer retreat in western Maine, a lakeside house called Sara Laughs. Shortly after arriving, Noonan is caught in the middle of a custody battle involving the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child's enormously wealthy grandfather. He also discovers that Sara Laughs is haunted and that his late wife, Joanna, still has something to tell him.
Billy Halleck commits vehicular homicide when his lack of attention to driving results in the death of an old lady on the street. Overweight Halleck is a lawyer with connections, though, and gets off with a slap on the wrist. After his trial, a gypsy curses him with a single word, "Thinner." Halleck begins to lose weight uncontrollably and must pursue the band of gypsies who are responsible for his dwindling condition.
I hope you all enjoy the website and let me know if any of you have read these books.

Bag of Bones is one of my favorite books...it is actually the first and only book that I have ever had to put down because I was frightened to read on; I do most reading at night. I have also read Thinner and most of Stephen King's other books. I'm always disappointed when they make them into movies, I've only enjoyed a few...its quite difficult to capture the imagination.
