Sherlock Holmes VS Dracula (cant remember the name of the author)

The Vampire Lestat - Anne Rice

It's been so long since I read this that it's almost like reading it for the first time. Good though, I like it.



Bram Stoker's Dracula

Very late to the game on this one... I don't know why I never picked it up before.
Not very far in yet so I'm not sure what my opinion is.

I just read Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys" recently. A charming little tale, he blends supernatural without an overbearing sense of surrealism very nicely. I am planning on hunting some more of his work.

Geddy 12-16-2008 08:00 AM

The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, by Tom Wolfe.

Check out Smoke and Mirrors - it's a collection of his short stories. Most of them are absolutely brilliant (especially Angel City and We Can Get Them For You Wholesale).

He's got another collection out called Fragile Things, but I haven't gottenm around to that one yet.

American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis.

scissorhands 12-24-2008 11:18 PM

I'm kinda reading 3 books at once :S. A book for children, Fiona Macdonald's Monsters. The aforementioned Manga Bible and Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life, which had been VERY helpful :D .

frantic100 01-01-2009 06:12 AM

the BD a zombi tale
 
The breathing dead a zombie tale, by AM Esmonde is not King but its women, twists and gore. A zombie clown too.:eek:

That's the one that got me interested in his stuff in the first place...great book, but I was far more impressed with his short stories.

My girlfriend gave me Fragile Things for Christmas, so I'm going to dig in to that one pretty soon.

A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, by Martin Scorsese and Michael Henry Wilson.

Posher778 01-04-2009 09:12 AM

Cobain Unseen

Some interesting facts, but it remains another "Cobain was a suicidal freak" story.

urgeok2 01-05-2009 05:54 AM

Rat - a book about rats

zombie survival guide

twilght (my wife bought it so i started having a look - its not bad actually)


i'm reading these at the same time

scissorhands 01-05-2009 08:33 PM

I don't know what's worse- "Cobain was a suicidal freak" stories or "Courtney offered me a beer and a hotdog if I killed Kurt. She wanted him dead for some obscure reason" stories.

Geddy 01-06-2009 03:45 PM

Catch-22, by Joseph Heller.

This Side of Paradise, by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I'm wanting to read a book called "Disquiet" by some woman with the last name Leigh, but I can't find it anywhere!!

The 39 Steps by John Buchan :)

jenna26 01-10-2009 11:45 AM

Reading Rebel Angels by Libba Bray and The Spanish Bridegroom by Jean Plaidy now.

Geddy 01-11-2009 06:29 AM

The Great Movies, by Roger Ebert.

I Lost it at the Movies, by Pauline Kael.

Doc Faustus 01-11-2009 08:02 AM

I liked the Great Movies, but Ebert really neglects horror films. He's not quite as bad as Leonard Maltin who outright freakin' hates horror, but he does neglect horror. Pauline Kael is the most horror friendly of the three pretty much.

sfear 01-11-2009 10:13 AM

Finished The 39 Steps by John Buchan which was great and started The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson which looks promising. :)

The_Return 01-13-2009 07:32 PM

Just read Arthur Hailey's teleplay Flight Into Danger - it was well-written, but as a big fan of Airplane!, it was pretty hard to take it seriously.

Turns out Airplane! got about 95% of it's plot out of this one, heh - right down to the poisoned fish.

Doc Faustus 01-14-2009 01:19 PM

The Ninth Configuration by William Peter Blatty.

Babygurl20 01-14-2009 08:07 PM

Just finished Mystic River, now I am starting on Faces of Fear by John Saul

SodaGirl 01-14-2009 11:57 PM

I started reading "Wicked" tonight

harris302 01-15-2009 12:28 AM

At the moment I am reading 'Fellowship of the Ring'. This book is very interesting.

All of the Ring trilogy books are interesting. I like them better than the movies really.
