Dracula by Bram Stoker

Best book I've ever read.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Very funny book. I really enjoyed it.

Nobody True by James Herbert

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kessey


This book was incredible. Very few books can recat such varried emotions in the span of a few pages, and I think that classifies this as a classic. Within the last few pages, I was honestly holding back laughter one moment, and holding back tears the next. You feel for the characters much more than in the movie, so while it does have the same outcome, it is much more powerful in this medium. Being from the semi-sane point of view of Chief Bromden also added a unique feel to the book that the movie lacked. Great book, highly recomended.

I read this book this year too. I had to choose a book out of the library for my book report, and I picked this one. I instantly fell in love with this book. I couldn't put it down! After I read the book, I watched the movie, and surprisingly loved it just as much as the book! Mainly because Nurse Rached is a bitch!

great book ..

Follow it up with To Kill A Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye and you've just read what could arguably be considered 3 of the greatest american novels.

just read Red Death by Walter Mosley (actually read the whole thing on a flight from LA to NY)

am also continuing my long-term project of reading Joyce's Ulysses - but its VERY slow going

Illusions by Richard Bach (for like the 20th time)

Read Haunted by Chuck Palaniuk, no spoilers but it actually made me a little queasy which is quite an accomplishment. Keep this in mind when you read about the kid stuck in the pool (that all I'm sayin')

right now I'm reading Malachy McCourt's History of Ireland. I just finished The Adventure of Kavalier & Clay. it was great.

Illusions by Richard Bach

Hayao Miyazaki : Master of Japanese Animation by Helen McCarthy

wow ! I'd love to get my paws on that !




at the moment i'm reading a compilation of stories based on Lovcraftian themes, including some by Lovecraft himself.

stuff about the chluthchthululululuthamamalamadingdong cult

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime. ( I think that was the title, it's not in front of me). Great book, the main character/narrator is autistic.

I actually found it in my colloge library. It was on a stand for new books. I had come to realise that the library would never have anything I wanted besides internet access when I had long gaps between classes! Not only did I find that, they have a few books about underground movies which I am going to borrow next. :D

my house IS a library.
i need to get a copy of that book ... i admire this guy enough to see what makes him tick..

Thanks to Urgeok's recommendation and the wonderful community on ebay, just recieved and started on HG Wells classic War of the Worlds.

Im looking forward to getting into it.

right on ! enjoy !

after that - start looking for Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds. If you cant find it - let me know.

ANYTHING BY ANNE RICE, GRAHAM MASTERTON, AND JAMES PATTERSON(NOT HORROR BUT VERY GOOD AUTHOR).

AS I SAID TO SLIPKNOT 666 ANDYTHIN BY GRAHAM MASTERTON. I LOVE HIM SOO MUCH

FINISH IT. THE ENDING IS SOOO GREAT. ITS AN AWESOME BOOK. PM ME WHEN U FINISH IT AND LET ME KNOW WOT U THINK

THE MOVIE IS GREAT BUT I HAVENT READ THE BOOK YET. WANT TO THOUGH.

ITS DAN BROWN AND THE DA VINCI CODE IS THE BEST BOOK EVER BUT IVE NOT READ ANGELS AND DEMONS JUST YET.

IS IT BY GRAHAM MASTERTON?? COS IVE GOT THAT AND LOVED IT.

Along Came a Spider by James Patterson- My parents both love the Alex Cross novels, so I firgured it was time I read one. I certainly wasnt disapointed. Well written, and fast-paced for the most part, plus it had tons of twists, most of which were pretty unexpected.
I LOVE JAMES PATTERSON BUT HAVENT READ THAT ONE YET. READ THE REST ODF HIS. THEYRE GREAT.

Actually reading "The Firebrand" by Marion Zimmer Bradley

[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Return
[B]Kiss the Girls by James Patterson- Definatly a recomended read if you're into crime/detective type novels. Having read Along Came a Spider, the 1st book in his Alex Cross saga, I am definatly becoming a fan of Mr. Patterson, and I plan to read more. He has a knack for creating creepy vilains, not so much in this as in ACAS though.
IVE READ KISS THE GIRLS, AND MANY OTHERS BY HIM. CASANOVA IS ONE SICK FU**ER.

AWESOME BOOK. NOTHING MORE TO SAY

I think I may have heard some of that years ago when I was wee nipper. I may be thinking of the wrong thing but was there a song called 'Forever Autumn'? Will look into it.

Only about a third of the way through War o Worlds but Im really enjoying it. Surprised how fast paced it is, the short chapters are quite punchy and it hasnt let up yet.

Its made me think of other old books that I may have taken for granted such as Jules Verne '20,000 leagues Under the Sea' or 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. Anyone know if these are worth looking at? Or any other suggestions for overlooked classics?

you cant go wrong with any jules verne or the other wells books for that matter.

check out a.c. doyle's The Lost World as well

Memoirs of a Geisha

Clint Eastwood: Billion Dollar Man

The Thin Place


strange and disjointed novel - but i'm enjoying it very much. . . one reviewer on amazon called it "Stephen King meets Kafka" - that pretty much sums it up with a good dose of "to kill a mockingbird" thrown in.

Just finished the H.G. Wells classic War of the Worlds.

Would recommend this book to everyone, its one of those stories I have always taken for granted, thanks in part to the films, but Im really glad Ive gotten to read it. (cheers urgeok)

Surprised how little the films reflect the book but at least the Spielberg version, on occasion, nods in the general direction of the book. Im thinking the red weed, some similarities with the curate and Tim Robbins character and the tripods carrying cages for captured humans. Whatever you do, dont be like me and assume that because you've seen both films numerous times you know the book.

Read this book people and enjoy!

Kafka books used to drive me insane.. It took me forever to finish The Castle because I hated the main character.

i would recommend the thin place - the characters are more sympathetic and coherent - although there are a lot of them (and we even see from the point of view of beavers and moose and dogs) - but the book has been enjoyable thus far (i'm about 50 pages from the end)

I'm reading "Vrolok" which is by a new author Nolene-Patricia Dougan. It is totally fantastic! I can't wait for her next book. Anyone else read it yet? If not you definitely should, it takes the Vampire horror to a whole new level :D
