Fragile Things Neil Gaiman

it's a collection of short stories. A Study in Emerald has to be one of the best short stories I've ever read...it's a Sherlock Holmes story set in H.P. Lovecraft's universe.

Finally got through Stephen King´s "Cell". Took me just about half a year.

Over 400 pages of pure crap, if you ask me.

Finished Stephen King's 'Cell'.
It was a very good read.

Finished Neil Gaiman's 'Smoke and Mirrors', excellent short stories!...still working on 'Fragile Things' ...so far, so good.

Picked up World War Z by Max Brooks today, this looks REALLY good, can't wait to crack it open.

Everything else I have been perusing lately has failed to keep my interest and I just do not have the time. I have given up on them until the baby is in school , cause I think that will finally be the time I am able to finish them all:D


I really want a copy of the Anniversary Edtion of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Does anyone own this?

You own a beat-up copy that has never been read?
Oh the tragedy!:D

You'll enjoy it when you get around to it though.

Father Bob and Bobby - Whitley Strieber

Powerful short story that is unflinching when it comes to the Catholic church and little boys. Distrubing, fun stuff.

ok,I am not quite finished yet with 'World War Z' by Max Brooks but I have to tell you guys to pick this book up at all costs!You will not REPEAT not regret it!
It's written as if it really happened.....

*A writer goes around the world getting first person accounts of a specific experience or thoughts about what they remember about the 'zombie war'*

I have never been so entralled by a book and if I had the time , I would sit down and read this one cover to cover.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended!!!
