yeah - it doesnt happen often but after 10 pages or so i said 'to hell with this one"
I hate books that are so poorly written that they are insulting.

All Tommorow's Parties

William Gibson

The Darkness that Comes Before - R. Scott Bakker. Really not sure about this one - first couple of pages are great and then the writing just becomes dry - very hard to get into if I could bring myself to abandon a book it would be this one.:mad:

Just finished "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz and started "Salems Lot" by King

Been trying to find classic sci/fi books for reasonable prices but struggling a little so in the mean time I decided to dig out 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Cant go too far wrong with Sherlock Holmes.

i love the sherlock holmes series ...

goes nice with the h rider haggard and the edgar rice burroughs

Right now I'm reding The Cabinet of Curiosities. One of the best books I've ever read.

I just got "the scream" by john skipp and craig spector....I really like their writing style, no pulling punches....nice switch as I just finished Shogun for the twentieth time...

i'm reading something called Ghost .. still cant figure out if it's the inspiration for the movie or not yet.

at the same time (depending on which room in the house I'm in) a book on the Canadian Animation business, a book of Lovecraftian themed short stories, The Chronicles of NArnia, Potshot (a robert b Parker 'Spencer' novel), and a couple of others I cant recall at the moment..

Just finished "The historian", pretty bored and doesnt tell me nothing that I don't know (before I read it) of Vlad Tepess.
