"The Ice Beneath You" by Christian Bauman

The Lost World: Crichton, very good book.

And trippin, I love WotW as well, very nice book.

I can't find anyy good ones so I think I'll look through this entire thread till I find one that sounds intruiging (sp?)... I'm currently reading Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton. I'd rather be reading an actual horror novel. Don't get me wrong, I love her books, but... yeah...

Just finished "The Incredible Melting Man". Yes based on the excellently bad film.
Just started "Out" by Natsuo Kirino, seems good so far.

"The Cabinet of Curiosities" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child.....Bone Chilling...:eek:

Memoirs of A Geisha

that just gave me a great idea for a title if Peter North is ever the subject of a biography : Memoirs of a Gusher

That's nasty dude, funny but nasty.

I'm planning on reading this, how was it?

1984. I'm writing a song about it

I'm reading First to Die by James Patterson. Almostlike a CSI episode... almost.

My girlfriend picked up Unseen Force: The Movies of Sam Raimi, so I'm going to start on that.

i red the halo boks ther really kool if u like scifi

I dont remember

just reading christopher lee's autobiography. well worth a read if you want to know about his very long and varied career.

i read gone with the wendigo! LOL

“Pocket encyclopedia of mysteries” by “Milen Rsukov”. If you think Second World War was enormous catastrophe it’s time to take a closer look to the plague. Well the templars are not exactly a “mystery” but you can find some new “disturbing “ facts.;)

I just read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman..good book. And I just re-read a bunch of Philip K. Dick short stories...


because everyone needs some Dick in their lives ;)

Sorry for the ridiculously late response....


I thought it was really good. There's one part of the story that sort of left me unsatisfied but other than that I didn't find there to be any significant faults.

I read Brokeback Mountain (tiny stroy). Good book, tragically sad and there was no pudding involved.:(

It's Only A Movie: Alfred Hitchcock, A Personal Biography

Very interesting. Hitch was such a perverted dick.


To sum up just how much of a dick he was, here's a quote from the book, from Melanie Griffith, daughter of Tippi Hedren, who worked with and hated Hicthcock in 'The Birds':

"He was a motherfucker. And you can quote me".

I finished M.P. Shiel's 1901 novel The Purple Cloud at four in the morning today. Good stuff... the first half blows me away but it falls into bad territory about halfway or two-thirds in. Still worth a read and now I need to read the Arkham collection of Shiel that just arrived in the mail.

Just picked up 3 that I'm switching off and on (one of them is a comic strip book however... not really a big read heh). The Big Book of Hell, American Psycho, & Monty Python and Philosophy : Nudge Nudge, Think Think

I'm reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury...he has a very musical style. I liked Something Wicked...this one is a little harder to get into.

great book ..

those are my 2 favorite bradbury books

Neanderthal by John Darnton


i doubt i'll finish this one - its too stupid.

fuck i hate these books where all the effort goes into 'science fact' and not one bit of thought given to the standard stock characters.

another beautiful woman scientist. ... gimme a break

'The Notebook' - Nicholas Sparks
CK

I got this for Christmas. Haven't read it yet. Is it good?

just finished David Mitchell's Ghostwritten - very literary but truly excellent - disjointed but everything fits together in an amazingly neat package that leaves you truly in awe of his talent - - not horror or sci-fi per se, but there are elements in there from both and it is a really impressive piece of writing!

i just started Philip Roth's The Plot Against America- and, while i generally like Roth, I'm having trouble getting into it

If I had known that all the science girls had to do was take of their glasses and let their hair down to be beautiful I would have spent a LOT of time in the science lab. Anyway, thanks for saving me time here, I was looking at this one.

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.

All Tommorow's Parties

By

William Gibson

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:

Just finished "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz and started "Salems Lot" by King

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.

i love the sherlock holmes series ...

goes nice with the h rider haggard and the edgar rice burroughs

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

I just got "the scream" by john skipp and craig spector....I really like their writing style, no pulling punches....nice switch as I just finished Shogun for the twentieth time...

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..

Just finished "The historian", pretty bored and doesnt tell me nothing that I don't know (before I read it) of Vlad Tepess.
