I know, but it could be. I'd just think that if there was a member here with a username of one of my favorite writers, I'd ask him if it were....well, him. LOL That is if there was a chance it could be. If the real writer was, say, dead or super famous like Stephen King or James Patterson, then of course I'd assume it was a bogus name. But this donleavy bloke? Never heard of him. So why not?

Great book and a good movie. I like the book because you can see inside his mind...it's the thing that makes all books better than their movie counterparts.
I just listened to 1984 in audio book form; read the paper version in school. Funny thing... I saw Big Brother as the face of Trump this time. I bet he'd LOVE to be in charge of that reality. If he had his way...
Right now I cannot read because I can't see well enough so I listen to audio books. I listen to many but I really enjoy Amish romance novels. I wonder if anyone else here does?
My overall favorite ever was the Vampire Chronicles.. Anne Rice. I spent about $300.00 buying all of em in fancy covers... there's a book for like every vampire you see in Interview With a Vampire... N Lestadt has his own series of books... overall it was some amazing work, the detail n making their stories fit with actual history starting thousands of years back...
Douglas Peston and Lincoln Child's Pendagast Series. Books to be devoured like popcorn at the movies. Bernard Cornwalls Uthred Series was great, if one can abide Cornwalls hatred of Christianity. Andy McDermotts Wilde and Chase series. Anything by Hilary Mantel or Alison Weir. Go back a few decades and read Jerzy Kosinski.
Three books for those advanced readers who enjoy essayistic, philosophical and self-reflexive texts and can listen to them over and over again, provided suitable audiobooks are available.
