Still reading The Lady in the Tower, but also started A Serpent's Tale by Ariana Franklin

Ive been reading some of Clark Ashton Smiths stories. He wrote some good hard-core fantasy, especially his Zothique stories.

The Wasp Factory, by Iain Banks

The Best short stories of JG Ballard

Fearonsarms 07-17-2011 08:11 AM

Yay I'm glad another person has discovered "The Wasp Factory"-you may also like "Complicity" which is also pretty warped.

Plus JG Ballard's original novel that Cronenberg adapted of "Crash" goes more in depth.

Just finished The Wasp Factory, and I must say it's the best book I've ever read (besides The Catcher in the Rye, and Naked Lunch maybe). Loved everything about it, amazing stuff.

And yeah I've read Crash, which is another one of my favourite novels.

Fearonsarms 07-18-2011 04:42 AM

Great stuff!The Wasp Factory is an astounding read, twisted, disturbing, horrifying:):):)-I haven't read Naked Lunch so I'll have to check it out cheers.

Geddy 07-18-2011 07:10 AM

Yeah, man. Judging from your taste you'd probably love it. Complicity sounds interesting, I'll definitely keep my eyes open for it next time I go to get a haul of books.

Thats sitting on my shelf. Its a good bet that its probably better then the movie.

Flowers in the Attic, by VC Andrews

The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck

neverending 07-20-2011 10:46 PM

"Robert Bloch's Psychos."

Bloch didn't write it- he was editing it when he died, and it was released shortly after. It's a very good anthology of short stories all featuring some kind of psycho killer in them. It's evenly divided between male & female writers which adds another level of interest, since horror stories by women can be hard to find. First story was a new tale by Stephen King. I recommend this book if you ever see a copy.

It was one of the books Rayne sent me.

Thanks Rayne!

How does the book of Flowers In The Attic compare with the movie?

The Living Dead Girl? Is that what the 1982 French movie of the same name was based on or is it a different story?

Here's a link to details about the movie I mean-

Great novel. Make sure you check out Imperial Bedrooms afterwards if you dig this one.

Hmm, I wasn't aware there was a film I'll have to check that out. The book is quite good so far I'll let you know what I thought of it as a whole when I finish it.

leezuki 07-24-2011 01:25 PM

no this book is suposed to be really good.

Nini_luv5 07-24-2011 11:13 PM

I'm reading the Southern Vampire Mysteries (true blood books), and I have to say I'm diggin it

The Villain 07-24-2011 11:29 PM

I read the first one, havent read any of the others

Nini_luv5 07-24-2011 11:34 PM

So what's your verdict? How is it compared to the show?

The Villain 07-24-2011 11:36 PM

Pretty close. The show leaves out some parts of the book that i didnt like and if i remember correctly, the ending is slightly different. But Tara isnt in the first book so thats a big plus for the book.

Nini_luv5 07-24-2011 11:40 PM

Haha
You really don't like her do you?

The Villain 07-24-2011 11:41 PM

No i hate her. I just watched the new episode and shes just as annoying in that one. Everything is always about her, no one has it worse then her, wah, wah, wah

Nini_luv5 07-24-2011 11:45 PM

I can feel the anger in your text haha
I'm gonna watch the new episode online tomorrow. I've been waiting for my true blood fix

The Villain 07-24-2011 11:55 PM

I'm calm now, i just wish they would kill her off. Shes so useless on the show anyway. It was a good episode. It feels like they're really leading to something good.

Nini_luv5 07-25-2011 12:04 AM

I am absolutely in LoVE with the witch angle in the show:D

The Villain 07-25-2011 12:05 AM

It is pretty cool especially since they havent done anything like that before but Marnie is really annoying. I just hate the way she talks.

Nini_luv5 07-25-2011 12:09 AM

It's Soo ironic with her role as a witch because all I can do is think of her as Aunt Petunia in Harry Potter and her hate for all things magic

The Villain 07-25-2011 12:11 AM

Oh man, i knew i remembered her from somewhere! That is strange.

Nini_luv5 07-25-2011 12:12 AM

But yea... Kinda wanna punch her in the face

The Villain 07-25-2011 12:13 AM

Right there with you. At least shes not as annoying as Maryann

Nini_luv5 07-25-2011 12:15 AM

Lo Lo Bromios!
*viberates

Haha:p

The Villain 07-25-2011 12:19 AM

Oh god dont remind me

Nini_luv5 07-25-2011 12:24 AM

Don lie... You secretly love her:p

neverending 07-25-2011 12:40 AM
