finished Drop City last night, but i'm too tired and sick to talk about it right now. i think people either really like Boyles' writing or really don't. i'm going to let my thoughts stew on this. but, here's a great site i found tonight, ReviewsOfBooks.com, reviews from periodicals all over the country, also England, gathered together into one site. no more trundling around from site to site reading reviews, one stop shopping right here.
in windmills i promised i'd pass along my thoughts on the film of House of Sand and Fog. eventually i will. i started the other day, but just couldn't manage it. let me just say right now, i'd give Ben Kingsley the Oscar. but i haven't seen Mystic River yet, so what do i know?

I had to chuckle...only you would come up with another fog poem. The line I quoted was Robert Frost. Thank you! I think you're great!
I've used reviewofbooks.com for a while now, and it's a great compilation of the more popular reviews. Sean Penn gave a remarkable performance in Mystic River, but then so did the rest of the cast. I'll probably see House of Sand and Fog soon and I'll compare his performance with Kingsley's.
