Also, I don't think Flan/Natasha was drinking Absinthe the night of the murder. I think she was just trashed in general. Mary, Happy to be here Damn my librarian borrowing TB8. I could've given you the page letter and everything. But it mentions sometime around the last page about, "Who else could have mixed the last of the absinthe into the punch?" Or something like that.

I LOVED The Basic Eight. Watch Your Mouth was good too, but the (SPOILER-I guess) father/daughter incest was just gross. TB8 reminded me of Fight Club, just the end because Tyler Durden wasn't real like (SPOILER) Natasha. I also love croquet, and the mallet as a murder weapon was great...

My result:
You're Miss Flannery Culp - an English Teacher's wet dream of a name. You're witty, smart, quirky, and you can wield that croquet mallet like no one else. You're only flaw is that you're completely insane and you let those crushes get the best of you.

My stupid library doesn't have TB8 or WYM. So I suggested they buy them. I received a weird look. I'll have to go buy them... you guys made them sound great. Just as long as my parents don't find out what their about...

This book better be as good as you all think it is. I've been trying to get it for the past couple weeks with no luck. My dad's finally going to let me order it though. If he found out what it was about, he would ethier completley freak or explain to my mother I was mature enough to read it, I'm not sure which, he's always suprising me. He'd probably let me read it, he doesn't think any book I read has mature content.

I think at 16 (I peeked at your profile, Pandora) you're plenty mature enough to read the Basic Eight. I just looked at amazon to see if the Basic Eight had gone out of print or something, and noticed that most of the other books bought by people who bought the Basic Eight were vegetarian cookbooks. How strange. I wonder whatever happened to the movie rights to the Basic Eight. I wish they would make a movie of it, it would be great. (There's some talk about selling the movie rights in this interview: www.chickfactor.com/back/cf13_danielhandler.shtml)

Perhaps they became vegetarians after reading TB8. I recall reading earlier that some people here had a hard time eating hamburger after reading the book.

Im reading @ the mo and I want to know If anyone else felt like saying 'God Damn Flannery!' in a 'I feel sorry for you' kind of voice after she found out Carr had sacked his teaching assistant because of the whole Fruit Flies thing.

I start crying and gagging if I see dissections, though, so obviously I'm not very meat-resistantly strong. And Sunny's Pacifier... yeah. Carr was such a bleep. Ugh... I feel so bad for his interns and students and all... ugh. Scary man.
