This is my third time reading it. I adore the intensity of this book. This is definetly my favorite of all his novels and short stories.
Highly recommended.

Will do. This is my first exposure to Easton Ellis and so far I'm really into it, going to look into more of his stuff for sure.

Re-reading The Catcher in the Rye, by JD Salinger for about the 50,000th time.

his dark materials,i loved this book :)

I finished House On The Borderland by William Hope Hodgson. Good book, its a Lovecraft type story, about beings from an alien dimension. some of it wasnt explained too well but it was still enjoyable. According to the preface, this book influenced some of Lovecraft's stories. I started reading a collection of stories by E.F. Benson, they are pretty good, some are better than others but thats normal in short story collections. Benson had a thing for people getting their throats cut, almost all the stories I have read so far someone gets their throat slit. Interesting.

What did you think of it? I thought it was pretty good. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was entertaining.

The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran

The_Return 08-13-2011 09:28 AM

One-Actmanship (My Narrator/The Death of Me) by Norm Foster. His work is always good for a nice, light bit of fun.

Also about to dig into some Morris Panych, likely 7 Stories and The Ends of the Earth (again).

Geddy 08-15-2011 03:18 PM

bwaaaaahahahahahaha - We listened to the first two books on CD... The reader was pretty ridiculous, so when vociferating Koontz's turgid prose, it was pretty amusing.

I'm not a huge Koontz fan, but the story was fun... Cheesy, cheesy fun. Terrible writing. Awful voice acting. Didn't get much farther than Book II... We just couldn't take it anymore.

...

Currently reading The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood... It's the sequel to her Oryx and Crake... I can't recommend Oryx and Crake enough if you like a good post-apocalyptic tale. Also, if you've read Handmaid's Tale (which is fantastic), you'll love these books.

HIGHLY recommended.

hammerfan 08-18-2011 08:39 AM

Hopefully reading it will be better than listening to it. I've already bought all the books.

Listen to the books on CD - It's probably more enjoyable... At least you can laugh more at the voice acting. ;)

Icky Pucket by Matt White, funny, sick and scary all at the same time. Worth a look.
