CRYPTONOMICON by Neal Stephenson.

I'm re-reading The Stand (I've been going back and forth between it and several other books).

I'm liking it even more the second time than I did the first!

Geddy 12-17-2011 05:14 AM

Ham on Rye, by Charles Bukowski

On the Road, by Jack Kerouac

Jonathan Janz 12-21-2011 02:29 AM

The Ruins, by Scott Smith. Outstanding so far.

The Villain 12-25-2011 04:53 PM

Sorry to disappoint you but the movie isnt as good. That's not saying the movie isnt good but the book draws out such emotion and reaction from you that the movie isnt able to do which is strange considering you're actually seeing the events take place instead of just reading it. Its a true statement to the caliber of Ketchum's writing and the intensity of the novel. I'd still say to check out the movie.

They Live Inside Us by Jeremy Robert Johnson. Alocal writer. Man, this book is intense. Big fan of this fellow.

It's worth it though. I love that book

Nini_luv5 01-04-2012 02:54 PM

I swear I've been skipping through it for years but can never seem to fully get through it. I've spent at least five years trying to read and reread the book but it just never happens :(

The Villain 01-04-2012 03:14 PM

It took me a couple of times too. Get through it, you'll be glad you did.

Nini_luv5 01-04-2012 03:31 PM

I know I wish I could just get the satisfaction lol.

I heard that there's so much more depth then movie could ever portray even in two parts…

Rotting Zombie 01-09-2012 06:42 PM

I am almost done with Cabal by Clive Barker. I just need to finish the last two short stories.

One of my favorite authors but I haven't read this one yet and since he is being published by Deadite Press now, I haven't seen any of his works on the shelves lately.

After Leisure Fiction, who he originally published with, basically imploded he left them and all his work was pulled from shelves. He now publishes with Deadite who are re-releasing his work as well as his out of print stuff like Tequila's Sunrise and Take The Long Way Home. Deadite isn't in stores though so you have to buy his stuff online. He also publishes limited edition novels with Thunderstorm books on their Maelstrom line every so often.

His stuff is great, one of my favorites as well. My favorite from him is Ghoul. Whats yours?

Bob Gray 01-10-2012 04:28 PM

All I have are the Leisure books, so out of those it would probably be Dark Hollow or Ghost Walk(which has my favorite character of his so far). I haven't read A Gathering of Crows yet but I know Levi is in it.

I really liked both of those. I'm guessing Levi is your favorite? I didnt like him very much in Ghost Walk, probably because i liked Adam Senft so much but he grew on me in A Gathering of Crows which is a fun novel. You should check it out.

Bob Gray 01-10-2012 05:19 PM

Yeah, Adam was cool too. What about Brian's girlfriend (she may be his wife now) Mary SanGiovani? I really liked her novel The Hollower. Who are your favorite horror authors?

The Villain 01-10-2012 05:25 PM

I wanna read that. I just read her novel For Emmy. I liked it. She mentions The Hollower in it. My favorite authors are Brian, Stephen King, and Richard Laymon. I have more but i figured i would keep it brief.

Bob Gray 01-10-2012 06:05 PM

I just started getting into Laymon, so far I've enjoyed the 4 books that I've read.

Mine would be King, Keene, Straub, and Skipp

The Villain 01-10-2012 07:50 PM

Which Laymon books have you read?

I havent read anything by Straub or Skipp. Got any suggestions?

For Straub, I would recommend Ghost Story.

Just looked that up, sounds good. Thanks

Bob Gray 01-10-2012 08:36 PM

I've read The Woods Are Dark, The Traveling Vampire Show, Darkness Tell Us, and The Cellar.

For Straub I recommend Shadowlands, Floating Dragon, A Dark Matter, or Ghost Story

For Skipp I recommend The Scream, The Bridge, Jake's Wake, and Light At the End

Doc Faustus 01-11-2012 03:31 PM

The anthologies Skipp edited are great. Zombies and Werewolves and Shapeshifters are both full of really solid stuff.
