I must say that I have really enjoyed reading this whole thread! I love books. Someone mentioned "The Cabinet of Curiosities" by Preston and Child. I have this book so I will start with it.

I recently read "The Ruins" by Scott Smith since I loved "A Simple Plan." I'm not used to reading horror novels. That book disturbed me for days. I saw the movie and it sucked! Anyway, I don't want to sound like a cry-baby but I do have Major Depressive Disorder (if not Bipolar I). If there are any books that might be disturbing to me, could you please post some here? Thanks! I love this website. I think the "Ketchum" books may not be good for me as I have recently seen the videos of his books on the shelves at Hastings.

Oh, by the way, the only movie that disturbed me, that I can think of, was Jeepers Creepers. I don't usually get upset unless a movie sucks. :p I wasn't prepared for that ending! Sheesh!!!

What do you all think of me reading "House of Leaves?"

The Best American Crime Reporting 2008 – The annual volume of the best crime writing from American magazines. Great stuff, as usual, but also kind of depressing in how consistent stories of crime and human misery can be.

Well, I broke down and ordered "The Girl Next Door" by Jack Ketchum. Hopefully, I can get through it. If I can't, I'll just donate it to the library or sell it on Amazon.com.

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. I dig her Mayfair witch stories even more than her vampire writings.

Here's a shameless plug - If you like short stories, I have a couple in the top 20 on the horror best seller list at Fictionwise.com. Dinner for the Dead and When Darkness Falls.

A Night to Remember by Walter Lord

A very dry, clinical approach to the sinking of the Titanic. Filled with brief anecdotes from various survivors, the book gives no hub characters with which to rally around. A quick read, but not very engrossing.
