More Book Reviews… but not here…

Published by flit under fiction Edit This

… the book reviews that you should read today are over on a gather friend of mine’s blog, Quotidian Vicissitudes.

He writes very well, with a dry wit that is often humorous, and I very much enjoy his articles.

And this week, for you booklovers, he has reviewed four books that he’s been reading of late. They include:

Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis         The Tailor of Panama by John LeCarre       Mistral’s Daughter by Judith Krantz    Glimpses of the Devil by M. Scott Peck

Why not stop by and check them out? You won’t be disappointed!

Gather.com, for those of you who aren’t familiar with it, used to be a great place to meet and get to know other writers and wanna-be writers. More recently, it has reinvented itself as a social networking site, which is part of the reason so many of us Gatherers flitted over into blogging instead.

It is still up and running, and you can still earn points which can - if you are in the US - be converted into cash or other stuff … but even though a bunch of us still stop by there, it is no longer the site we loved. *sad*

Personally, I find Today.com a much better use of my time - they pay me for blogging even if I am not a US resident :) And it takes a lot less work to earn a buck here than it does over there.
