John Fowles

John Fowles died. I recommend The Collector.

John Fowles

A stalker novel that was recommended to me and I read after I wrote my own stalker novel. The Collector is better. Other novels of his like The Magus or A Maggot are way over my head.

In other stalker news, Lindsay Lohan and Jared "I wanted to destroy something beautiful" Leto are starring in a movie about Mark David Chapman’s life. Doesn’t seem right. But that might be only because my stalker novel is based on Chapman. Still, I don’t think this is only jealousy at work. I don't trust Jared Leto after Requiem for a Dream. The Collector, on the other hand, is a good movie with Terrence "General Zod" Stamp. Don't know what Selby or Fowles thought of those movies.

I didn't know anything about John Fowles, but I read his obituary today. Really interesting man with what sound like really interesting books. I'll have to give one a try. (Nothing like death to attract new readers.)

Great writer. I enjoyed The French Lieutenant's Woman. Good movie.
