yeah - it doesnt happen often but after 10 pages or so i said 'to hell with this one"
I hate books that are so poorly written that they are insulting.

The Darkness that Comes Before - R. Scott Bakker. Really not sure about this one - first couple of pages are great and then the writing just becomes dry - very hard to get into if I could bring myself to abandon a book it would be this one.:mad:

Been trying to find classic sci/fi books for reasonable prices but struggling a little so in the mean time I decided to dig out 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Cant go too far wrong with Sherlock Holmes.

Right now I'm reding The Cabinet of Curiosities. One of the best books I've ever read.

i'm reading something called Ghost .. still cant figure out if it's the inspiration for the movie or not yet.

at the same time (depending on which room in the house I'm in) a book on the Canadian Animation business, a book of Lovecraftian themed short stories, The Chronicles of NArnia, Potshot (a robert b Parker 'Spencer' novel), and a couple of others I cant recall at the moment..
