Something which I have found difficult to get hold of, but damn worth it when you do - Michael Slade books!

Have read "Cutthroat", realising its the third book I have got hold of a copy of "Headhunter" and its a real page turner!! Normally I am not a fan of crime fiction but these are brilliant - definately worth a read!

"Blue World" By Robert McCammon

Misfitshead 03-15-2008 05:23 AM

What I'm reading right now?
100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE by Nobel laureate G. G. Marquez.
One of the best books I've ever read.

The Nightwalker by Thomas Tessier

urgeok2 03-19-2008 09:40 AM

Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams - Nick Tosches
(Dean Martin Bio)

i normally read autobios and avoid bios but this one is pretty damn good so far. excellent lively writing, and a lot of history - of italy, america, the mob, etc..


wow this book is tough to put down ... as riviting as any fiction i've read (and yes - this is probably largely fiction)

The book doesnt paint Dean to be a saint - far from it - but it sure seems to be anonymous that everyone in holleywood thought Jerry LEwis was an asshole.
i'll have to find his autobiog next

Dark Birthright

Picked it up at a celtic music festival (the author was there selling it). It's set in 17th century Scotland, a story about 3 families. Very interesting read, had a hard time putting it down.

I believe you're thinking of the movie with Tommy Lee Jones...its not the same.

This one is about serial killers who abduct girls and keep them for a number of years to "play" with them.

Yes, that IS the movie I was talking about. The book sounds interesting. I love murder mysteries and the like - let me know how it is, OK?

Sojurn by R A Salvatore

It's the "Legend of Drizzt" version, so it ends with an interview with Mr Salvatore. Very interesting and insightful.

Geddy 04-19-2008 06:29 PM

The Hobbit By: J.R Tolkien.

Vodstok 04-21-2008 05:33 AM

Sweet, another Fantasy geek :)

Passage to Dawn, more Salvatore :)

Re-reading Coraline, but this time reading it to my 8 year old:D
It's seriously cool when your kids start digging your stuff:cool:

Abominus 04-22-2008 05:32 AM

The Dragon Syndacites. It's a pretty interesting non-fiction about the history of the various Triad organizations. I'm also re-reading Ketchum's Off Season, always unsettling.

Dante'sInferno 04-23-2008 06:49 AM

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

The_Return 04-23-2008 09:23 AM

Hopefully going to FINALLY finish Fifth Business today...great book, but its taking forever to read.

When I'm finished that, I plan to start into For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down by David Adams Richards, which I'm very excited to read.

Abominus 04-24-2008 09:49 AM

Robertson Davies is always a slow go.

This is the first of his that I've read...I'll probably read the rest of the Deptford Trilogy at some point, as this one is a good read (slow as it is).

Abominus 04-25-2008 12:18 PM

He is great, I did Fifth Business in high school which prompted me to finish the Deptford Trilogy, I also read Murther and Walking Spirits which is paced much better.

Still a sloooooow go.;)
