I started The Resort by Bentley Little. IDK I used to think he was decent to good, but he really can't carry a novel all that well his short stories are better.
|
i'm readin imajica by clive barker.
|
Finished Sea of Swords by RA Salvatore the other day. Excellent book, one of his best (one o fthe most intense scenes i have ever read is in it)
Currently reading The Thousand Orcs (by salvatore), pretty damn good so far. |
just finished Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Blade runner)
very different from the movie. i have to admit i like the direction the movie took .. perfectly understandable - the book would have been unfilmable. the movie took a much less cluttered, more conservative approach that i can appreciate. (they cast the movie better then i cast the book in my mind) |

but the book felt .. sort of cluttered. aimless in places. i'm sure i'm prejudiced by seeing the film first - but it's still a testament to an excellent film. |
Duma Key by Stephen King

i had the opposite feeling when i read starship troopers. I think heinlen's book was awesome, and i dont know what the hell verhoven was doing, but he and the guy who wrote robocop took the names and the general fact that there was war with "bugs" and ran off on their own wild tangent. |

Dr. Identity by D. Harlan Wilson. It's a cool, surreal, humorous bizarro romp through a pop culture poisoned wasteland of a future. It's like Vonnegut on acid.
|
T is for Trespass by Sue Grafton
|
I just finished Master of Reality, by John Darnielle. Darnielle is the main guy behind the band The Mountain Goats. It's his book about Black Sabbath’s album of the same name. Part of the 33 1/3 series of small books about albums. A good installment of the series, written from the perspective of a teenager locked into a residential treatment facility against his will.

I'm reading The Greatest Man on Earth ...the Jahovah Witness gave this me.
I wonder how it ends....... |
L.A. Confidential ~ James Ellroy
|
Roger Zelazny's Nine Princes in Amber. I didn't read these books when I was younger, so I was curious.
|
No Country for Old Men ~ Cormac McCarthy

someone wrote a book about little old me ? |

LMAO:) .......... |
The Black Dahlia ~ James Ellroy. Unlike the two books I just finished, I really disliked the movie that was based on this one.....but thought I would give the book a chance.
Oh and I was surprised that I actually prefer the film L.A. Confidential to the book, a bit too much was going on in the book. Kind of a mess, really. And it was the first I have read by Ellroy. |
i'm reading Appetite For Destruction ...
a book about Guns and Roses. |
The lone drow, RA Salvatore. Great so far, tons of killing :)
|
Crash by J.G Ballard. Might be better than the movie. I'll have to see.
|
I'm about halfway through Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy. Great book so far, and an interesting case of how genre books get looked down on unless they're written by literary authors. If anyone else had written this book, it would definitely have been seen as horror, not literary fiction.

She Wakes - Jack Ketchum
|
Summer of Night - Dan Simmons
Boy's Life - Robert R. McCammon Something Wicked This Way Comes - Ray Bradbury (Again) Yeah, I'm hittin up them coming of age stories. |
The Raw Shark Texts. I highly recommend it.
|
The Importance of being Ernestine by Dorothy Cannell
|
Albert Sánchez Piñol "Cold skin"
Very Lovecraft, but very repetitive. Alex Scarrow "Last light" Starting out quite promising. Ive got high hopes for this tale of doom. |
Dracula's Brood a horror anthology edited by Richard Dalby. It features neglected vampire tales from the pens of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, Sabine Baring-Gould, Mary Elizabeth Braddon (loved her story Good Lady Ducayne, and it is in this anthology), and H. B. Marriott Watson.
Excellent book if you like 19th and early 20th century horror. |
Naked Lunch. I pick up and don't put it down once every month or so lately.
