In reply to Catherine. Great Catherine. I hope you write about Towles talk on your site. He seems a really cool person and was totally friendly at BEA. As for Springsteen, it sounds like his book will be a must for all his fans. I need it pronto. I liked Dwight Garner's review of it in the NYT. We can compare notes on it, eh?

Thank you for the sharing! I’m a little bit evangelical about A Gentleman in Moscow! Towles is going to be in Seattle next week and I’m completely starstruck- cannot wait to hear what he says about writing this novel.

I had NO idea about the Springsteen autobiography! I’ve been a huge fan since college and have seen him in concert twice. You’re right there is nothing like him. I need to get my hands on this book!

In reply to Rachel B. Wow that's cool Rachel. The BFG does have some neat elements: I especially liked the dream-catching and the arrival at Buckingham Palace. Funny!

In reply to Deb Nance at Readerbuzz. Yeah the dialogue is definitely quirky in The BFG, making the audio pretty amusing. I'd be interested to see who is coming to your festival. I need to read like mad too. Thanks Deb for stopping by.

In reply to Judy Krueger. Thanks Judy! Life is indeed good. I'll be interested to hear if the movie is good. Enjoy your week! I made it to Spain in one piece; we'll go from here.

The BFG was my favorite of the Dahl books!

I remember reading The BFG with our sons when they were little. It was, to be honest, a tricky book to read, with all that quirky dialogue.

I’m trying to read like crazy before the Texas Book Festival authors arrive in early November. I wonder if many of the same authors will attend your festival and mine.

In reply to TJ @ MyBookStrings. Thanks TJ, great hearing from you. Yes I especially liked the Queen part of The BFG and it would please me if she knew or read the book. How funny if she read it to her grandkids! Glad your book club is seeing TLBO movie. Maybe I will see it in Europe. We can compare notes on it. Cheers.
