I really, really had a hard time with that one. From what I remember you could almost have cut off the first 250 pages and been good to go. Did you think it was slow to get going?

I’m currently reading J-Horror by David Kalat. It’s a great introduction to J-Horror and its major figures. Even for someone who’s seen a lot of the major films, and even some minor ones, it’s a terrific book. It’s got great context for the works, as well as choice bits of interviews with directors and screenwriters. Highly recommended.

I’m also re-reading Leviathan by Paul Auster, a great book about chance, America, and blowing up patriotic statues.

I just finished Ode to Kirihito by Osamu Tezuka. A huge, 800+-page manga about a disease that is turning people into animals – literally – all over the world. It’s something of an allegory for the life of Christ, and is very weird, but it’s also good.

Just got my copy of The Terror by Dan Simmons and started it today. 40 pages in so far, a little slow so far and lots of characters.

Finished King's Lisey's Story yesterday.

Finaly find an anthology of Mr Bierce on spanish, this only took me one year.....and 30 euros......D'oh!!

More Lovecraft, Dreams in the Witch House & From Beyond.

Slugs by Shaun Hutson

if you love gore (MUST READ BOOK)
I am reading this for the 3rd time

Just picked up Fight Club

Nobody True by James Herbert,i'm having a bit of a Herbert Phase at the moment,i do enjoy his work though.

The Shining - Stephen King

People seem to like this one, but I'm having a fight whit it. So boring, Jesus... 200 pages on and nothing happens. Pages and pages of pure dullness. Do we really have to read 10 pages about the previous owners of the hotel?

Oh well, I think I need some action from Richard Laymon :D

I have The Rats in my TBR list, hope to read it soon. I have high hopes for this one, my first JH.
