Heather, silly gurl. The Deep is not a sequel to Jaws, it is a treasure hunt novel (treasure= morphine, the drug, not the band)

It seemed sequel-esque to me.
Like those Robin Cook books, different stories but same characters. Not exactly a series but similar.
I think I have some of those too, Coma and Brain for sure. |

Coma rawks, an example where the movie was as good as the book

Brain was pretty good too. A bit dated, since medical technology has far surpassed the 70s style in the book but good nonetheless. |

This is going to really annoy me 'cos I live just a little to far away to make it viable. Besides, the one thing I will never do is part with a book. Even if I read the first chapter and hate it, it sits on the bookcase and never moves again, but I will not dispose of it. Every few years I have to build another 6'x4' bookcase and get them all standing up again rather than lying on top of each other.

We should have Book Gang, instead of a Book Club, we can flash our set at other Book Gangs. To be initiated into the gang, you have to read the complete works of T.S. Elliot, while other members talk loudly, watch tv, and do other distracting things. GDR can slang illegal literature at school to earn us money.

Yep. Plus you get royalties on the name, making your chapter the only financially self-sustaining one to date.
