That is a great trilogy, i was always a fan of Tasselhoff


I am also doing the D&D novel thing. I just finished The Legacy by R A Salvatore, and just began Startless Night (the follow up). It's fun, kind of getting back to my roots in a matter of speaking. Homeland by Salvatore is the reason I began writing, and I have been revisiting some of my fantasy writing.I think that may end up being the genre of my first novel.

My brother had all of them but since I moved I found the first one, and he has quite a few and I have a couple of his old ones. I read it awhile back but I wasn't really into reading like now. I always liked the brothers myself. I heard about an animated movie for the first book.

Dreams Of Terror And Death By HP Lovecraft.

Reading Clockers, Richard Price’s novel about 80/90s drug dealing in New Jersey. Great stuff. If you like The Wire, which Price does some writing for now, you’ll like this.

Finished "The Great and Secret Show". Pretty good, kinda wierd at the end. Now I am on to "Moon" by James Herbert.

Please.

I usually hate movies based on Stephen King books/stories. Since "Carrie", it seems like they just slap his name on whatever bastardization of his books hollywood puts out, which I suppose puts asses in seats to some extent. I guess that I'm not objective, however. I used to read the novels, and then go and rent the movies and critique them the whole way through. My specific complain was usually casting (hence my response). I hated Walken as John Smith in "The Dead Zone", even though I am a Walken fan, but Tom Skerrit was an excellent choice in the Sheriff. There are other examples of casting choices I liked or had a problem with. I liked that guy who played Jud Crandall, and Jimmy Smits as Gard, Spacek was certainly a good Carrie, but the majority of the casting sucked. Every casting choice in "It", and especially "Dreamcatcher" except for the guy who played Pennywise (his name eludes me now), and Morgan Freeman as Kurtz were awful.

IDK I've read some 25-30 of Koontz's books, and was dissatisfied with most of them. I would only recommend "Watchers", "Phantoms" and "Winter Moon". His heroics, TOO happy endings, bad characterizations and preaching are often hard for me to tolerate anymore. He's not all bad, but try some Clive Barker or Bentley Little for some real shit :D .

Just finished Starless Night by R A Salvatore and im now a few chapters in to Siege of Darkness. This one has lots of blood :D

Finished "Moon" last night. It was okay, sort of Koontz-ish. On to "Floating Dragon" by Straub.

I'm about 100 pages in to The Talented Mr. Ripley. Things have really only just started happening, but I'm enjoying Highsmith's establishing Ripley's inner state so far. We'll see how the action gets going now.

I've yet to read it, but I want to. I might go check the library some time this week to see if they have it.

boxcutter 02-06-2008 04:24 AM

not to change the subject, but i was recently reading stephen king's danse macabre , which i hadn't read in years because it seems so dated. but i was actually inspired to haunt the thrift stores and came home with an armful of ramsey campbell, ira levin, shirley jackson, etc. lucky me.

Still reading "Floating Dragon". For those who hate slow-paced horror lit., this is not the book for you. As of pg. 221, backstories have been told, and some action is finally starting up.
