World War Z

Jacob Singer 01-04-2007 04:00 AM

James Clave's "Tai Pan" after another reading of CLive Baker's "Book's of blood"

Kreech 01-05-2007 07:57 PM

The Darkest Part of the Woods by Ramsey Campbell. It's pretty good so far, and I love fungi so I guess that just makes me like it more.

Geddy 01-06-2007 01:14 PM

Gonna start frankenstein soon.

Roderick Usher 01-08-2007 08:43 AM

Fragile Things Neil Gaiman

it's a collection of short stories. A Study in Emerald has to be one of the best short stories I've ever read...it's a Sherlock Holmes story set in H.P. Lovecraft's universe.

Angra 01-10-2007 02:43 PM

Finally got through Stephen King´s "Cell". Took me just about half a year.

Over 400 pages of pure crap, if you ask me.

novakru 01-11-2007 12:26 PM

Finished Stephen King's 'Cell'.
It was a very good read.

Finished Neil Gaiman's 'Smoke and Mirrors', excellent short stories!...still working on 'Fragile Things' ...so far, so good.

Picked up World War Z by Max Brooks today, this looks REALLY good, can't wait to crack it open.

Everything else I have been perusing lately has failed to keep my interest and I just do not have the time. I have given up on them until the baby is in school , cause I think that will finally be the time I am able to finish them all:D


I really want a copy of the Anniversary Edtion of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Does anyone own this?

novakru 01-15-2007 10:09 AM

You own a beat-up copy that has never been read?
Oh the tragedy!:D

You'll enjoy it when you get around to it though.

Despare 01-15-2007 10:26 AM

Father Bob and Bobby - Whitley Strieber

Powerful short story that is unflinching when it comes to the Catholic church and little boys. Distrubing, fun stuff.

ThrillerWriter666 01-16-2007 10:34 PM

The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen. Just finished Jeffrey Deaver's Cold Moon.

novakru 01-19-2007 08:44 AM

ok,I am not quite finished yet with 'World War Z' by Max Brooks but I have to tell you guys to pick this book up at all costs!You will not REPEAT not regret it!
It's written as if it really happened.....

*A writer goes around the world getting first person accounts of a specific experience or thoughts about what they remember about the 'zombie war'*

I have never been so entralled by a book and if I had the time , I would sit down and read this one cover to cover.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended!!!

noctuary 01-21-2007 06:31 AM

Finally finished reading Deadhouse Gates. This was an absolutely brilliant novel. If any of you have any interest in the epic fantasy genre at all, I would strongly urge you to read this book, as long as you don't mind your fantasy to be terribly tragic at times. Steven Erikson is one of the best prose stylists currently working in any genre.

SamCostello 01-21-2007 10:33 AM

I'm going to finish Cerebus Vol. 7: Flight later today. I'm plowng through this series, surprised by how great it is. I don't much like Dave Sim's politics, but it's a terrific series.

Sam

Jacob Singer 01-22-2007 03:05 AM

Now "At the mountain of madness"

noctuary 01-22-2007 07:11 AM

I'm now re-reading China Mieville's Perdido Street Station. Mieville's mastery of language creates a very pleasurable reading experience.

BASSI 01-25-2007 10:57 AM

OH, you just reminded me...I have to buy that!!!...Thanks


Glad I still have the eBay page open :)

SamCostello 01-28-2007 11:14 AM

I'm reading The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore right now. Not loving it, really, too cutesy for me, but it was lent to me by a friend so I'm giving it a shot.

Later today, I'm going to dig through my big stack of to-read books and find something new to assail. It may be Michael Houellebecq. Could be Steve Erickson.

Sam

Zero 01-30-2007 01:08 PM

i'm reading a book called julius winston - not really horror, but very well written and has a kind of sudden, violent nature that makes it a bit disturbing. . . highly recommended so far

AUSTIN316426808 02-14-2007 01:27 AM

Frank Miller's 300

virose_pt 02-14-2007 06:14 AM

"An autobiography" by Agatha Christy.

I love Hercule Poirot's books, and this autobiography so far is very good.

DP McCoy 02-14-2007 12:58 PM

I'm reading James Herbert's Domain.Haven't read this book since i was at school,found it after going through some of my old stuff at my parents house,its a cracking read,rats are usually shit on the screen but they really have more impact in books.

Das Reich... The military role of the 2nd SS Division.

SamCostello 02-17-2007 07:15 AM

I'm about 2/3s of the way through Osamu Tezuka's 800-page Ode to Kirihito, which is about a strange disease spreading throughout the world that turns people, basically, into human dogs. It's partly a thriller, partly a medical drama, partly a religious allegory. It's pretty good, though at 800 pages is a little hard to hold.
