Lisey's Story . . . an interesting read. I have about 100 pages to go. Thought it was just going to be a flashback novel, which it sorta is, but then it gets into travel to an alternate plane of existence . . . and the description of the child abuse--wow, just about brought a tear to my eye.
|
James Herbert's 48-twelve chapters in and so far so very good.
|
Appointment With Death - Agatha Christie
An Autobiography - Agatha Christie |
Stephen King's Insomnia. It's a pretty good book I'm about 400 pages into it so far.
|
I just read "The Dead Letters". I liked it.

I’m currently reading J-Horror by David Kalat. It’s a great introduction to J-Horror and its major figures. Even for someone who’s seen a lot of the major films, and even some minor ones, it’s a terrific book. It’s got great context for the works, as well as choice bits of interviews with directors and screenwriters. Highly recommended.
I’m also re-reading Leviathan by Paul Auster, a great book about chance, America, and blowing up patriotic statues. I just finished Ode to Kirihito by Osamu Tezuka. A huge, 800+-page manga about a disease that is turning people into animals – literally – all over the world. It’s something of an allegory for the life of Christ, and is very weird, but it’s also good. Sam |
Just got my copy of The Terror by Dan Simmons and started it today. 40 pages in so far, a little slow so far and lots of characters.
Finished King's Lisey's Story yesterday. |
Finaly find an anthology of Mr Bierce on spanish, this only took me one year.....and 30 euros......D'oh!!
|
More Lovecraft, Dreams in the Witch House & From Beyond.

Slugs by Shaun Hutson
if you love gore (MUST READ BOOK) I am reading this for the 3rd time |
Just picked up Fight Club
|
Nobody True by James Herbert,i'm having a bit of a Herbert Phase at the moment,i do enjoy his work though.
|
The Shining - Stephen King
People seem to like this one, but I'm having a fight whit it. So boring, Jesus... 200 pages on and nothing happens. Pages and pages of pure dullness. Do we really have to read 10 pages about the previous owners of the hotel? Oh well, I think I need some action from Richard Laymon :D |

Thanks for the heads up.... At this point I am really enjoying the series and don't think i could let it go... really is the type of series where you feel you know a little bit about everybody that gets mentioned and everything about main characters.... at least up to this point
|
I REALLY enjoyed The Regulators, a fun read for sure.
|
The Great Gatsby- Yeah, it's boring.
|
The Great Gatsby--wow. Been on my list to read for a while as it is mentioned often in writing books and used as an example of excellent writing.
|
Oh, and regarding The Wheel of Time series . . . I got through the 4th book and that was as far as I got. I even bought all the books, but I just kept getting lost with so many characters and not getting back to a particular story line for hundreds of pages drove me to exasperation.
Regulators and Desperation--both excellent reads. |
the black dahlia. haven't seen the movie and don't know if i want to now.

At the moment I'm reading Christine Feehan's "Dark Demon" it's one of many that she has written it is a different and more romantic twist on Vampires.
xxFrostyxx |
Phil Rickman's Curfew.

getting ready to read Harbingers by F Paul Wilson...
|
Just started reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's been on my list for a while.

I’m currently in the middle of Museum of Terror Vol. 2 by Junji Ito. I’d read these Tomie stories years ago, but hadn’t come back to them in a while. I’m finding them to even stranger, even scarier, even better than the first time.
This week, I’ll dive into Cerebus Vol. 9: Reads and probably Let It Be, by Colin Meloy, his memoir related to the Replacements’ album of the same name. Sam |
the autobiography of mark twain

taras bulba and other short stories, by gogol.
