Jorj's reading recommendation for the month of September: "The Marriage of Sticks" by Jonathan Carroll. I am a big fan of Jonathan Carroll. He writes in a very surreal but emotionally deep style. Lots of supernatural occurrances. When I read books by Carroll, I get the impression that he is on a spiritual journey in real life and his books are derived from these journeys. Other books by Jonathan Carroll: The Land of Laughs - First book, you can tell. Still worth the read The Voice of Our Shadow - Not my favorite, but I would by the First Edition, 1st printing if I found it Bones of the Moon - Great! The first book by this author that I read. I read it every year. I like it that much Sleeping in Flame - Recurrence of characters from "Bones". Good. A Child Across the Sky - More recurrences, Good Black Cocktail - Novella-ish, not popular with the hardcore fans Outside the Dog Museum - Classic, some recurrence of characters After Silence - OK From the Teeth of Angels - Good The Panic Hand - Pass Kissing the Beehive - OK The Marriage of Sticks - Carroll showing a great deal of growth in his writing style and doesn't rely as much on the supernatural stuff as he had done in earlier works. Still, the supernatural stuff does show up pretty strongly in the second half of the book. In some of his earlier stuff the supernatural stuff was a bit gratuitous, now he is really using it to get to progress the plot and dive into some deep stuff. Just posting this to you since you talk about reading a lot. I read "The Marriage of Sticks" on the flight home last night. If I really like a book a lot, I will search out the first edition, first printings. I have most of Jonathan Carroll's books. JXM
