Dante's Commedia (or "The Divine Comedy")...

Currently on Canto 6, I think... Very cool stuff...

I'm such a movie geek that I'm trying to visualize how I would shoot this into a film version if I could... There would undoubtedly have to be a lot of creative license applied.

I've always wanted to read it, and finally found a good copy of it from 1957 in the library bookstore.

Anyone else read it?

Infernal Angel by Edward Lee

- I started it about a week ago, but I put it down to read Teratologist which was pretty deranged to say the least.

Ultimamk 02-27-2004 01:19 PM

Book of Shadows by James Reese. I'll finish, I think, tommorow because I have a party to go to tonight.

The book is really good, though I think it has a tidbit too much sex (think James Bond, Friday the 13th, and Hellraiser combined times 3).

Ultimamk 03-01-2004 05:25 PM

Now reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, written by the twisted mind of Douglas Adams.

'The Untold' By William Grabowski. Really creepy and totally bizzare....It's totally hooked me!:D

feral cat 04-27-2004 06:03 PM

I’m reading “The Roaches Have No King” by Daniel Evan Weiss at the moment, as well as the pulp fantasy novel “Thraxas at War”, Martin Scott.

The Roaches give the views and philosophy on us from there stands point, this books cool witty and makes some really nice observations!

Thraxas at War is the 7th novel in the award winning pulp fantasy series which fuses the noir detective genre with tolkien-esq fantasy to amusing affect.

… There not horror, but I like to read a bit of everything!!!!
