Finished THE DELIGHT OF GREAT BOOKS, John Erskine's 1916 masterpiece of literary criticism and forerunner of Clifton Fadiman's THE LIFETIME READING PROGRAM. Hope to get to the latter later this year.

Think I'll start John Christopher's THE RAGGED EDGE tonignt before turning out the lights.

"1Q84 - book 2" by Murakami.

Let there be action.

Good stuff so far.

I just finished Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. It's not amazing or anything but a solid ghost story.

At home i'm still reading Under The Dome by Stephen King.

On my phone i'm reading The Drawing of The Three by Stephen King

and at work on my lunch break i'm going to start reading The Last Apprentice: Rage of The Fallen

Just finished "Monsters in the Movies" by the great John Landis. OK its more pictures than words, but still an amazing commentary on the greatest ever creature flicks...

I saw that at Barnes and Noble and thought it looked pretty good.

Finally finished Watchers by Dean Koontz. I began really loving the setup of the book, and then later on felt like some parts were trite and sappy, particularly the love story and the center of the book. Also felt like some parts were rather generic. However, by the end, I was won over by the story of an intelligent dog and the loyalty he both exhibited and inspired. I actually woke up at 4 in the morning seized by the compulsion to FINISH THE BOOK. Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen and how everything was going to play out, I was very satisfied that it followed the course.

BOTTOM LINE: Would I recommend this book? Yes.

Any good? Worth pickin up or better to wait for the movie?

I'm going to butt into your conversation here, sorry. I loved the book! And I'm looking forward to the movie.

Cool. Be great if i could finish it before the movie. Its a graphic novel right.....

If you mean like a comic book, no. It's a regular novel.

wasnt too sappy was it?i know his books can be.but i know his books can have some very sinister characters aswell which make a mean read

It was a bit, but there were other qualities that made up for it. This is not heavy-duty stuff, or challenging, but a decent page turner.

Currently reading Nick Cave's first book, And the Ass Saw the Angel.

I forget where I read it (maybe an issue of Motorbooty) but I thought the line of how "Cave was heavily influenced by the Thesaurus" summed up that book quite well :D

Hahaha totally. It's really irritating. I mean, I like the story and the setting, but sometimes I just have to roll my eyes at the points where he clearly found the most obscure word possible.

The Child Thief
 

I am reading The Child Thief by Brom. Its a very interesting dark version of Peter Pan.

Stephen King's The Long Walk

Naziploitation! The Nazi Image In Low-Brow Cinema And Culture.

Unfortunately, it's heavy on psycho-babble and way too short on actual film discussion. Although I did find out about a new film, Outpost (2008) while reading it, which I liked very much, so that's a plus.

just finished Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk, i highly recommend it.

hmm never heard of him,is that the first of his books you have read?

Finished The Last Apprentice: Rage of The Fallen by Joseph Delaney. Now i'm starting on Beware by Richard Laymon

Yes you have. He wrote Fight Club.

Rereading David J. Skal's "The Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror".

Reading Stephen King's Bachman Books.

is there a gigantic book with all his bachman storys or do you mean,your reading through all his books he wrote as bachman,or am i a retard:confused:

http://www.amazon.com/Bachman-Books-...0595115&sr=1-3

Mine looks more like this: http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CF4Q8wIwAA

Its an omnibus of four Richard Bachman books.

Finished this:

Exciting and realistic story about the aftermath of a catastrophic earthquake, or quakes rather, that literally tore the Earth apart. Recommended, just wish it had a better cover than this, one of the most blah I've ever seen.

Started this:

One of my favorite movies as a kid (probably still is, I just haven't seen it since its initial release) and one of Clint Walker's best. Book should be even better. Fisher, by the way, is also Will Henry.

that looks like a fuckin good book,iv got the regulators and was just thinking ,fuck thats a big book to fit in with a hole lot of other storys

Scariest, Freakiest Book I've read in a long time
 

My friend is working on prepping a new movie called "Seven-X" It's based on a book that is absolutely terrifying. I freaked out about ten times when reading it and I can't wait to see the movie.

He said you can get some Limited Edition Copies of the book here: SEVEN-X

I guess the author already sold the movie rights and won't release a published version to the public until after the film is cast. Rumors have some top actors up for roles.

There is a facebook page too.

Good luck finishing the book. Two of my friends freaked out before they could finish. Ha ha.

Mmmh hm...

Welcome back Bob

bee bob a loo bob

DEPRAVED by Bryan Smith. So much gore and evil. I need more. Anyone out there like Bryan Smith's works, could you turn me on to other novels in this genre with Smith's ability to scare you and gross you out at the same time?

no,but would love give him a read,well even more than before after your reveiw

Just finished Beware by Richard Laymon. It was okay but went in a direction i wasnt expecting. That's one thing i love about Laymon. I can never tell where his books are going.

Now i'm going to start reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Anyone working with Deadite. Wrath James White and Edward Lee in particular.

The last book I read was Brian Keene and Nick Mamatas' The Damned Highway. Hunter Thompson vs. Cthulhu. Totally badass and a perfect companion to Mamatas' very cool Move Underground. Also, Laura Lee Bahr's Haunt. My reactions to this book: http://bizarrocentral.com/2012/02/20...-bizarro-noir/

Definitely agree with you with Lee. Only read one by James but it was good. I'll have to check out more of his stuff.
