Help an indie label and an indie artist! =)<BR/><BR/>USA tour dates just announced. www.cheaplullaby.comJoe Ross - Cheap Lullaby Recordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05140709046017616841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-50796258685688322472008-07-22T06:08:00.000-07:002008-07-22T06:08:00.000-07:00Hi,John, how are you doing? I guess right now you are busy touring among different countries, meeting people in the book signing events. July 21,2007 is a wonderful day for me, because it's the day I met you and had my copy of The Book of Lost Things signed by you. I was very impressed with your sincerity, your sense of humor, and your charm. What's really magic is that one year has passed, but whenever I read The Book of Lost Things, it still reminds me of you. I still remember vividly the way you talk and laugh, just like the passing of time has stopped. Eventually, time will take its toll on all of us. Decades later, it's inevitable that our hair starts to fall out and our skin starts to sag, but in my memory we won't be touched by time and change; we will always be young, joyful, and glamorous. I was 37 and you were 39. Life was full of wonder, hope, and dreams to be fulfilled. It's really nice to have met you,John. I've met you only for a short while, but memories of you and your book live on forever...<BR/><BR/>This week Annie read<BR/>The Book of Lost Things<BR/>The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls<BR/>and listened to<BR/>Stardust by Nat King ColeAnnie Chenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01939547781458787801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-21448023843683313462008-07-04T07:22:00.000-07:002008-07-04T07:22:00.000-07:00i have just finished reading john connolly's the book of lost things. i am moved! it's a book about childhood and grief, all our 'vices' within, jealousy, greed, deception, fears, the base human nature. and it's about the transition from childhood to adulthood. and how this boy became a man and how he lived his life to the end. it's about fantasy, drawing on all the traditional fairy tales we know so well. this is a book i will read again. if you want to go on the trip of your lifetime, treat yourself to this book. maybe it too will touch you as as it has touched me.<BR/><BR/>from http://www.thebookoflostthings.com/ john connolly himself says: "but it is also a hopeful book, for it suggests that, in the end, it is better to live than to give up, better to grasp experience and endure the thorns than to risk having the beauty and joy that this world has to offer pass us." that is what i felt when i read the last word in the book...<BR/><BR/>i'm a HUGE fan!!!!!<BR/>http://gsp-shadow.blogspot.com/2008/07/book-of-lost-things-john-connolly.htmlShadowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-77531005271299115462008-06-28T15:24:00.000-07:002008-06-28T15:24:00.000-07:00Spectacular cd.

Didn't know of her association with A&TJ's either, or Jeff Buckley.<BR/><BR/>On another note, been reading Neon Rain, James Lee Burke's first Dave Robicheaux novel. I could swear its like reading about Charlie Parker's twin brother, the two are so alike in thought and personality. Still prefer Parker though...<BR/><BR/>How is The Lovers coming...?normski-beathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14359077000281057803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-41783238003172888762008-06-24T11:56:00.000-07:002008-06-24T11:56:00.000-07:00off to the shop to buy, sounds good on the web.
