Awesome! She was quite the character.

Deliverance, by James Dickey.

The_Return 04-01-2009 03:53 PM

Been reading through a collected edition of most of Oscar Wilde's plays...just about finished A Woman of No Importance.

The_Return 04-02-2009 04:14 AM

Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things. I adored Smoke and Mirrors, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

Papillon Noir 04-03-2009 05:57 AM

Just finished Last Watch, the fourth book in the Night Watch Series by Sergei Lukyanenko. Amazing! Best one in the series yet, highly recommended.

Showcase Presents Sgt. Rock Volume One. Trade paperback reprinting over 500 pages of vintage Sgt. Rock stories from the late 50s through the early 60s. I love this stuff. Sure I grew up with it but it's still stunning!

The_Return 04-06-2009 04:39 AM

Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

Geddy 04-07-2009 03:39 PM

Re-reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey.

Doc Faustus 04-07-2009 05:46 PM

Never got into that. He stole too much of his intro from Burroughs.

The_Return 04-07-2009 06:30 PM

A Twist in the Tale by Jeffery Archer

Also - Plato's The Symposium.

Just finished it up, definetly a great read. I'm guessing you've seen Manhunter? If you have what did you think of it?

urgeok2 04-15-2009 06:46 AM

just finished Alice Cooper's autobio (Golf monster - or something like that)
very interesting - entertaining.


finished Steve Martins account of his stand up comedy years before that (and michael palin's diary - the python years before that)

reading these autobiographies - i'm amazed at how much they reference each other. 1 degree of seperation in most cases


now i'm reading Helen Mirrens book.

Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite

Orange 04-21-2009 02:30 AM

The Small Assassin by Ray Bradbury, a man known mostly for his sci-fi, but is ten times better at horror in my opinion.

Doc Faustus 04-21-2009 06:21 PM

I agree. The Small Assassin is really chilling.

urgeok2 04-22-2009 08:36 AM

finished helen mirrens book,

read a couple of trade comics (walking dead 9, wildguard) and now i'm reading the big stack of batman comics my kid bought at the comicon on the weekend

Scepticism Inc. by Bo Fowler (again)

Really love this book, its so out of the ordinary and well written. Defo catch it if you can find it.

siorai 04-23-2009 12:07 PM

Mind Gym - Gary Mack - Great book on sports psychology.

It - Stephen King - Finally getting around to reading this one. Great book, but god is it long as fuck. King really seems to go a bit overboard in this one with the very indepth explanations of past and present events.

missmacabre 04-23-2009 10:05 PM

Fucking Trainspotting is the hardest book I have ever attempted to read. I just finished Twilight and thought that was a difficult read, but blood hell this accent is tough.

Blood Bar, a vampire story
 
Blood bar, hit #1 in Dark Fantasy Horror on AmazonCa.com today...

Vampires don’t exist...yet, on the brownstone back alley side streets of New York, a vampire dies. Desperate, his lover turns to Kim Bennett, author Norm Applegate’s quintessential heroine whose passion for S&M led to celebrity status as a hell-and-back murder mystery sleuth who’s been there, done that, and then some. This time, Kim finds herself caught between a secret vampire society’s attempts to locate The Black Testament (a sacred document written by Jack the Ripper), the modern-day vampire hunters bent on their destruction, and a white knuckled journey of self-discovery that catapults her into the bowels of hell and the arms of the ultimate vampire.......courtesy of The Haven, New York’s ultimate BLOOD BAR.

Ahhh... I have this book in my collection as well. One of my all-time favorites. I'm currently reading Clive Barker's "Imajica" book. I just purchased it from Barnes & Noble.

I kind of like the lead Cenobite in Hellbound Heart better than I do Pinhead.

1st off - that post was over three 3 years ago. Why would you quote something from the first page of such a long thread?

2nd - Now that I read the post (3 years after I posted it, in case you missed that part), he was spamming his own book and patting himself on the back. I obviously found that amusing at the time. 3 years ago.

Doc Faustus 04-29-2009 12:21 PM

It's hard to self promote without sounding like you think you're the second coming. It's been really weird for me. Never been a product before.

Currently reading Vampires and Vampirism by Montague Summers. It would have been nice if the huge Latin quotes were interpreted for ignates such as myself. Ashe.

Michael Palin Diaries: The Python Years

SamCostello 05-02-2009 07:05 AM

I'm about 1/3 of the way through Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's a great idea for a book, and a cool example of modern remix culture, but I don't know if it's a great book. Still, I've got about 200 pages for it to convince me of it being good.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - Dave Eggers

Doc Faustus 05-05-2009 04:56 AM

I wanted to like that book more, but he's a bit too smarmy and arrogant.
