Wine of Angels, Phil Rickman. Great old fashioned ghost story with an oddly updated feel to it.

Have you read Conceiving Evil
 

Hi Everyone,
I am a newbie, and the author of Conceiving Evil, if you haven't read it yet, grab a copy from Amazon or one of the many other online book clubs, or just ask your local bookstore to order you a copy. But you better hurry, because John Tyler a demon in human form may be hunting for you. Look behind the door, under your bed, or over your shoulder into evil's eyes.
Come by and check out my website sometime.http://www.freewebs.com/humanneeds2003/
Take Care.

Others-by James Herbert.

Supposed to be reading the Great gatsby, but it's incredibly boring... so...

MERDE! (A profane French book)

Death Masks, book 5 of The Dresden Files. I get a kick out of these.

John Dies at the End

AMAZING story.

I just finished it and yes I thought so as well.

Glad you liked it:)

I am now reading Stephen King's It for the first time... The movie was alright but I'm hoping the book is much better

Just started "Waiting" by Frank M. Robinson.

I just finished "The Terror" by Dan Simmons. Here's my review (currently posted on mybooklist.com also):

An adventure tale set in the mid-1850s. A lengthy read but worth the journey. Filled with an interesting cast of unique characters, The Terror is a fictional account of two sailing ships which become locked in the ice for three years in their quest to discover the North West Passage. The crews of the vessels must survive against incredible cold, diminishing rations, their own ability to maintain hope and an unknown monster that stalks them from across the ice. A good read for those who like survival-adventure tales but this one ends with an interesting twist that tips to the fantastical. I would have rated it better but for the fact this book could have benefited from some aggressive editing. At one point, the author goes on for several pages just listing all of the survivors of the two ships—-a recounting that serves only minimal value. At nearly 800 pages, this tale could have been equally effective with a little judicious pruning.

I am reading the Sandman series by neil gaiman and Forever Odd by Dean Koontz.

Have just finished the Dark Horse Book of the Dead - I quite like the mixture of different artist styles and storylines! I am also a huge fan of Terry Pratchett - I know its not quite horror but its highly amusing! :p

Mafia Summer

Sabriel by Garth Nix
More of a children's fantasy... I read it recently.
An entire day wasted.
It was pretty good for that reading level.
Basically about necromancy and killing zombies in a mid-evil type country.
Kinda cute.
They should have added more gore & some more intamacy between the two lovers.
Still, for that reading level, I understand.
Good books are ruined for the young.
Meh... 6/10

I just finished Drifting Classroom Vol. 4 by Kazuo Umezu – a really wild and awesome manga about a school that gets transported, without explanation, to another place, possible the Earth’s distant future.

I’m reading some Edogawa Rampo in fits and starts and expect to jump into Death Note vols. 9 and 10 later today.

call me an old woman....many have.......i just finished fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe....i picked it up food shopping at asda....i hate asda by the way.....because it was a film me and my now deceased nanna watched together when i was little and wow the nook is sooooo much better......

"You're an old bee charmer, Idgie Threadgoode, thats's what you are..."

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
I know I say this everytime, but this is the best Moore book yet.....until the next one I read.

im reading two, the nanny diaries and darkly dreaming dexter which is an awsome book

I read the nanny diaries.Do you relate at all to the book,being a nanny yourself?
Im reading the handmaids tale by margaret atwood.

yeah so far i have

The History of Hell by Alice K. Turner

"In the Dark of Night" by John Saul. It's a pretty good scary book so far, just getting to the heart of the story now. I still read the new books by him because he tries to stick to the horror genre unlike Stephen King and Dean Koontz (whose books I still love).

Oh, ditto on the "Nanny Diaries". I loved that book and have read it twice. I was a nanny myself about 4 years ago. I never went through anything that nanny did though. Also around last summer or so, I saw where they were going to make a movie from that and they were showing a scene being made by Scarlett Johnhansen(sp?). Just wondering if you have heard anymore on it.

Hoping to finish Japanese Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edogawa Rampo tonight.

Sam

Just got my copy of The Zombie Survival guide, so I started reading it today. It is very good and amusing, I love it so far! :D

I'm about halfway through Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. It's freaking superb.

The Story Of My Life.

Jurassic park

Just finished "Waiting" by Frank M. Robinson. I would rate it average.

Now reading "Icebound" by Dean Koontz.

Stephen Kings, The Shinning.
Enjoying it so far.

stephen king-misery....again

I’m reading Down There by David Goodis, a crime novel from the 1950s set in Philadelphia. It was the basis for Truffaut’s Shoot the Piano Player.

Dawn - Elie Weisel

i read the first one "Night" for my Advanced Speech class. they're really good, about the Holocaust and all.

The Vampire Prince by Darren Shan.

Highly recommended teen horror. it's the 6th book in the 12 book "Saga of Darren Shan"

I'm about to start East of Eden by Steinbeck.
I hated Of Mice and Men, but maybe this one will be better.

I'm also about to start the next book in the Troy Game series. I heard it's out and I'm uber excited.
:p
I'm not sure what it's called yet.

i loved of mice and men......well more than the film and i love john malkovich and gary sinise.....but i read the book first

HATED Of Mice and Men? Surely you jest.....:eek: ;) Steinbeck is one of my favorite writers, and East of Eden is one of my favorite books, for what it is worth.

Right now I am reading Don of the Dead by Casey Daniels. A cutesy mystery; and yes, I picked it up because of the title....:p

Yes.
I liked some of it.
Loved it's symbolism.
I just hated it as a whole.
It really wasn't that good.
Then again I'm picky when it comes to books and movies.

I'm hoping I'll like East of Eden.
Steinbeck seems like he has talent.
I'm just hoping for the one where it blossoms.

I think in some ways Of Mice and Men comes across as boring, though I happen to find it to a very honest novel. The characters are very well drawn out, considering the length of the work, and the ending is inevitable and tragic, but apparently it is easy to feel a kind of disconnect with the events leading up to it (from what I have heard other people say, I do not feel this way, I find it very moving, very sad, and I actually like Steinbeck's straightforward style).

East of Eden is FAR more entertaining actually, there is so much going on in that novel, and the characters are so very complex. I also think Steinbeck created just about the perfect example of a sociopath iin this novel. Steinbeck definitely did approach his characters in a different way here.
