My stylist did a crappy job last time. I didn't know Zafón cut hair. Haggard Send a noteboard - 08/09/2009 05:09:21 AM
Plus, the stories he told were more interesting than the debut offering from Harkaway. Besides, isn't his dad also a better writer than him? ;)


I haven't read Harkaway yet. I listened to the audiobook of Zafón. Even in English, it was one of the most lyrical and evocative books I've read (er...listened to).

I'm drinkin' some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard's easin' my misery
and Waylon's keepin' me from home
Hank's givin' me those high times-
Cash is gonna sing it low
I'm here gettin' wasted-
just like my country heroes -Hank III

I name a book, then you reply with one you think is better, then someone replies to you, etc. Bryce - 06/09/2009 07:42:50 AM 1067 Views

Decent, but not as good as the Steinbeck or Zafón, I believe *NM* Larry - 07/09/2009 11:07:43 PM 363 Views
