Cool, thanks for the reccomendations, I'll check for them at the library next time I go.

I'm deep into John Connolly's new one -- THE REAPERS.
Wow.

Still reading both Tales of Ordinary Madness, by Bukowski, and The Raw Shark Texts, by Steven Hall, and still liking both. The Bukowski should be done this week, but the Hall will take a few more weeks, I think.

I've only read 1/2 of it, but so far it's stellar. (I dig anything that questions organized religion)

urgeok2 07-25-2008 04:47 AM

a Batman novelization ... Fallen Knight i think its called.

not having read the comics in ages i thought i'd check this out as it is a novelization of a series of the actual comic books - that explains the whole Bane thing as well as a few other things i missed out on (the 3rd Robin ??!!)

Geddy 07-25-2008 05:26 PM

Desperation by, Stephen King.

Noah 07-27-2008 12:30 PM

Just finished "The Stand" by King.... Definitely the best book he's written that I've read (Not read all his books, but a good amount so far anyway).

It's not my favourite though, that would go to Pet Semetary. Tomorrow I'm going to start a new book called "Hitman Hart: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Professional Wrestling".

Yes, I'm a wrestling fan.

Not sure, I haven't read a whole lot by Simmons. Anyway, I am not even halfway through it yet. Its good so far, but going REALLY slow.

Sounds boring then... coming from you.

I mean, it's been two days. You should've been finished by now. ;)

I'm reading three books at the moment, so that may have something to do with it. :) But no it hasn't completely drawn me in. That doesn't mean that its bad though, may just be my mood.

Nope never heard of it. But I will look around for it. Is it worth buying? (keep in mind, I don't part with money very easily... ;) )

I'm sure you can find it as a cheap paperback by now. And yes, it sure is worth THAT kind of money. ;)

I finished it today and I must say that i quite possibly have never read a book that was so exciting from litterally the first page to the very last, including the authers last words.

Very thought provoking and scary.


Best described as "Black Hawk Down" meets King's "Pulse". I'm sure there's a tale of doom that's much more fitting than Pulse, i just haven't read it. :o

I will check the bookstore next time we are at the mall. Online I have only been able to find it for 15 dollars, not including shipping. But admittedly I haven't looked that hard yet.

Angra 08-03-2008 11:06 AM

15 bucks IS pretty expensive for a PB.

Well, i sure hope you'll stumble upon it soon. And if you don't there's always the movie. ;) :rolleyes:

Waking Up Screaming- Haunting Tales of Terror by H.P. Lovecraft
