Book Club

by Will Christopher Baer is at long last coming July of 2009. Yeah!

Hey everyone...I want to start an in-formal book club.

Give me the names of some books you want to read, and I'll put all of the names in a hat, and pick one at random. The one chosen is the one we'll read.

Hey everyone--

I have decided to make all of my novels free to download with no strings attached. Visit my website at www.deleondemicoli.com and click on Downloads. The books available are Lick Me and The Curse of Jezebel & Other Tales. I have decided to do this to say thank for all of the support I have been getting from this forum and others.

Hey all,

Two new novels recently out on Another Sky Press (home of my own Click, so I suppose this borders on shameless self-promotion but I'm actually just trying to promote two books I think you should check out.)

Best part is you can read them for free online (PDF) if you want, or buy direct from Another Sky Press or Amazon or wherever.

The first is called The Golden Calf, by Henry Baum.  This was originally published as Oscar Calibur Gun by Soft Skull Press.   I think many of you might dig it.  The back of the book:

my favorite has to be the end of Bret Easton Ellis' The Rules of Attraction. to paraphrase (after Sean has left campus and has picked up a hitchhiker):

She started telling me her life story, which wasn't very interesting, and when Rockpile came on singing "Heart" I had to turn it up, drowning out her voice, but still I turned to her, my eyes interested, a serious smile, nodding, my hand squeezing her knee, and she

and it just ends right there in mid-sentence, just like how the book began. some people may feel cheated and get frustrated when they are denied closure but I couldnt think of any other way to end the book. In fact, if I ever write a novel I may just end it on a similar note, if the story calls for it.

what are your favorite endings/last pages?

also, can anybody think of any other stories that just end mid-sentence, besides Finnigan's Wake?

Which one? Come on, there must be one! Only the first!

Mine is Charles Dickens' "Tale of two cities":

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period..." and so on.

I feel it so near.
