Stinger is one of my favorite Robert McCammon books....they could update the story easily and make a pretty fine sci-fi-horror movie out of it. I hope someone picks it up eventually, it would be cool to have an original movie instead of a million blase remakes.

Just read The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing. It was odd and depressing, but still interesting. It left me feeling a little woozy, like I had just had an unpleasant dream.

Now I'm about to start the collective works of the Marquis de Sade, beginning with Justine.

man i gave up on that series after God Emperor.
I think I started Heretics of Dune and just couldnt share Herberts vision anymore.

Only mccammon book i ever read was Swan Song. LOved that one, would make a great mini series.

still plowing throuhg The Mist. Not enough time....

I am writing though, so i guess that is more productive than reading...

Well you read more than me, I gave up on God emperor. anyway the last books (House Atreides, Harkonen and Corrino) were written by Herbert's son. The new books are easier for reading and don't take part on that particular vision of his father (on special with things like religion and politics). He respect the amvience and the principal characters (Mentats, Beneheserith fremen....and the royal houses) The plot took place on years before the original books, when Paul Atreides wasnt born

I agree, provided they don't use the same guy who did The Stand. And NO Molly Ringworm, okay?
Please.

The Mist is a good story.

I always though Charles S Dutton would make a good Josh. Not quite huge enough, so these days i think Michael Clark Duncan would be a good choice. I dont know who they could use for Swan. Pleas, dear god, please, no dakota fanning. Cute kid, but she has overstayed her welcome.

interesting ..

i still have a few i havent read .. chapterhouse, as well as the 'houses' books.(not sure if i have corrino or not but i know i have atreides and harkonen.

maybe i should have a peak at those ...

I'm in the Introduction to Computers study unit of my vet tech course. My reading assignments all come out of a book called "Understanding Computers". If it were any more dry, I'd be in the Sahara desert!! I read a page or two and start nodding off. Ugh, I have to get through this to get to the next study unit (Biology). At least this is the only time I'll be reading this!

MCD would be great for Josh, and I agree about Dakota. She's having a Macaulay Culkin transformation. The little girl from Silent Hill is pretty cute, and she seems like a good actor.
