I love DeLillo for his word explosions and Cosmopolis is a wonderful lancet right into the heart of contemporary business culture.

Have you ever read Steve Tesich's "Karoo". As funny if not more so than "Catcher In The Rye". Sadly the author died soon after it came out.

I absolutely loved this book. The entire story is completely unrealistic, and yet her characters really draw you in and make you believe it. I hope it doesn't take her another 6 years to write her third book (although if it's as good as this one, I think she can be forgiven...)

Haha, I only saw the zombies book out a couple of days ago, looked pretty cool (albeit I still don't know if I could stomach reading about Mr. Darcy, lol). Have you read the zombie one?

Hi - visiting (belatedly) from Jane's pitch party. Hadn't come across your blog before. Lots of interesting things and I might well direct my readers over to it - I run "Help! I Need a Publisher!" at www.need2bpublished.blogspot.c... if you're interested in the writing process and how to become publishable. I'll come back later and read some more! Good luck. Nicola

Now try cramming it into a pargraph for your query letter. Ugh.

Ah, the synopsis. They're horrible things, aren't they? But, like you say, they can help to iron out plot inconsistencies.

(found you through Jane's Pitch Party, btw :))

Thank you for linking to my blog: Jonathon Clifford's post is very useful, and I hope that more writers read it.

(I'm here from my pitch party, by the way: thank you for taking part!)

Stumbling over from Jane's pitch party. Interesting gossip about Doctor Who, I for one always believe Doctor Who should be watched in the dark, so the second half of the series in the Autumn would be great!

I'd like to think that he brings his own style, yet stays respectful to the source material. But who knows?!

I'm curious as to whether or not Del Toro's Hobbit will have the horror-ish touches of The Lord of the Rings.
