Some Literature
I'm looking to pick up a few good books to read, not exactly horror-related but it wouldn't hurt either way. I haven't read a lot, and have been waiting for a really good book with a storyline that just amazes. Something that keeps you glued to the pages, reading further in suspense and terror. It needs to have an ending that blows you away - twists, turns, lies, deciet, something that makes you go "WOAH!!" at the end.
My favourite genres are mystery, and anything horror/thriller. Deep, psychological stories are a plus, things that make you think.
Turn-offs are sports and sci-fi related material. Heavy romance, love-dobey isn't my thing neither, same goes for "classic american literature". I read that in school, not my thing for a summer vacation.
I've been eyeing...
I Am Legend -
Very interesting premise, and since the movie is bound to dissapoint, I thought I would give it a chance and indulge in it properly.
The Cell -
Skeptical on this one... not too fond of Stephen King's stuff. The premise seems sort of silly, and the alien thing? A turnoff. But I heard it was good...
Glamorama -
Bret Easton Ellis is a great writer, and definately deals in the psychological area of things. This novel is based on Victor, a character I was interested in from his appearence in other novels such as Rules of Attraction.
Any suggestions?
