20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne

[peacemama]

I just bought and read "Twilight" and "New Hope" by Stephanie Meyer. Vampire lite for the young adult set, but I have a daughter who wanted to read them and so I checked them out first. More romance than horror but well written for that age group. Vamp books of all kinds are my favorite, Anne Rice of course and general Vampire romance...

[The_Return]

Vampire lite for the young adult set.

Noit famillar with those titles myself, but that description means I have to break out a trusty dusty recomendation:

The Saga of Darren Shan. (Cirque du Freak / Vampire's Assistant / Tunnels of Blood / Vampire Mountain / Trials of Death / The Vampire Prince / ECT.)

When I was younger (as in, like 4-5 years ago), I was absolutely obsessed with these books. "Vampire lite for the young adult set" describes them just about perfectly, loved them when I was in the age bracket. HIGHLY recomended.

The Rising by Brian Keene just came in the mail today. I hope that this book lives up to the hype.

[noctuary]

City of the Dead by Brian Keene and The Hidden by Sarah Pinborough.

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.

[Shadow]

i just wondering if was other Author with same title The Fog

i got the The Fog and i think it was really good.

also it got nothing to do The Fog (1979)movie.

I really enjoyed The Fog great read.
I wasnt sure if it had anything to do with the films but wanted to read it anyway.
Will have to watch the films also.
Have you seen the 1979 film? Any good? Do you know of any other fog films?


Recently bought Stephen Kings Firestarter. Started reading it, like it so far.

Also just bought Red Dragon looking forward to reading that one.

My aunt has a lot of Dean Kootz books I think I shall start borrowing but I am unsure where to start. Any suggestions?

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

[Shazbut]

I'm fascinated by personality disorders and the fact that they are not recognised in the workplace or as destroyers of most relationships (working or family). For e.g., Schizophrenia is recognised, Narcississtic PD isnt - but it can be as destructive and dangerous as.

Anyway, my point is.. my last two books purchased were about control freaks:

'In Sheeps Clothing' by George K Simon
'Snakes in Suits - when psychopaths go to work' by Paul Babiak and Robert D Hare
