We must just be trying to talk telepathically. <BR/><BR/>I read The Shipping News years ago, but remembering wondering what all the fuss was about, because it didn't really catch me. I much preferred Random Passage at the time.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-79067676449909912572008-04-07T23:49:00.000-04:002008-04-07T23:49:00.000-04:00I thought I'd left a comment earlier, but it's sur...I thought I'd left a comment earlier, but it's sure not here, is it? Sometimes I forget to check if blogger accepted my comment - just hit return and move on. I'm trying to be more careful.<BR/><BR/>I really liked Latitudes of Melt and felt it depicted Newfoundland much better than Shipping News, which I thought was a bizarre book about bizarre people.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-47463627432941738152008-04-07T22:55:00.000-04:002008-04-07T22:55:00.000-04:00I enjoyed the book, but I didn't like how the myst...I enjoyed the book, but I didn't like how the mystery seemed to be dropped.<BR/><BR/>As for <I>the Shipping News</I>.

It's a little odd, but it's Newfoundland!<BR/>Enjoy your trip to Toronto. I was only there once when I was 11 on a family trip.<BR/><BR/>stephanie - it's not all Titanic, but it plays a big part. and having seen the movie, I could see it all happening. I liked the movie, but all I could think of was how many ways there were to die on the ship.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-68002740725768877322008-04-07T19:37:00.000-04:002008-04-07T19:37:00.000-04:00You know, you lost me when you asked if I liked Ti...You know, you lost me when you asked if I liked Titanic. I think I'm one of the few people in the world that actually HATED that movie!! <BR/><BR/>But I'm glad you liked the book!

I actually took mine off for a little bit because it bugged me, but as soon as I did I started getting spammed. *Sigh*<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a fascinating book. I'm going to read Shipping News soon--isn't that Newfoundland? I'd really like to make it to that part of Canada one day. We're going to Toronto in August and I tried to convince everyone to make the trek to Quebec City (for the 400th anni), but didn't have any takers. Quebec is as far east as I've been, but that was years and years and years ago.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.com
