Aimee Bender

I'm reading Aimee Bender's books. I get them from the library.

I've finished: An Invisible Sign of My Own; The Butterfly Lampshade; The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake; and The Girl In The Flammable Skirt.

I've also watched the movie "An Invisible Sign" which is based upon An Invisible Sign of My Own. Pamela Falk and Michael Ellis wrote the screenplay. Jessica Alba plays Mona Gray.

The movie was wonderful. The writing was excellent. The actors were all great. It served as my motivation to begin reading Aimee's books.

An Invisible Sign of My Own was better than the movie. I would not have thought that possible, but it was.

The Girl In The Flammable Skirt is a book of short stories. The others are all novels.

Until a short time ago, I'd never heard of Aimee Bender. Now I'm reading her works as fast as the Milton Public Library can get them in.

It's been a long time since I've been motivated to read all the works of a particular author. It's also been a long time since I allowed fiction to dominate my reading.

I'm here to share my experiences with others. In this case, I'm here to urge you to discover Aimee Bender for yourselves.

Toward that end, let me say this, "I thoroughly enjoy Aimee's writings. I'm partial to her novels."

If my words haven't sent you running out to read these books and watch that movie, I'm truly sorry - sorry for you.

I have yet to read: Willful Creatures; The Third Elevator; and The Color Master. They're all on my list.
