I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I thought the movie was awful. You're right about exploring ethics... It's more than just your average horror best seller.

...

Currently reading Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer. :o I'm working my way through the Twilight series. Sometimes a girl just needs a silly diversion.

Now I'm re-reading Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood in preparation of her The Year of the Flood, its follow-up. Highly recommended.

Friend just lent me this:

Chapter titles include: "And You'd Better Look Good, The 'Nice Personality' Myth", ""How Barb reshaped Her Tastes", "How Smart Should You Seem?" and various other chapters about changing yourself in order to get your crush to like you.

The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War ll by Iris Chang. This is purported to be the first complete account of the Japanese atrocity in China at the end of 1937, where some 250,000 to 350,000 unarmed Chinese citizens were tortured, humiliated, experimented upon, and then slaughtered in horrific fashion by Japanese soldiers, all within about a 6 week period in the city of Nanking. It is also estimated during this same time-frame that between 30,000 and 80,000 women were raped, many of which were then disemboweled or otherwise horrifically disfigured. This is still a contentious issue as the official opinion of the Japanese is that the affair was either horribly exaggerated or even fabricated in totum. So far so good. Ashe.

Smile top 10 horror movies

The Halloween movie is that the original or the one that Rob Zombie did? Trying to find all the Halloween movies to add to my movie collection. Along with the other Phantasm movies that were made,which is damn near impossible to find. Most of the horror movies I'd like to get are impossible to find any where.Would like any information as to where I can get some of the old horror movies.
