A little. Don't tell me you're trying to juggle all those with Moby Dick.

TRIAGE-Richard Laymon, Edward Lee and Jack Ketchum. Three authors tackle the same story with slightly different angles. OK, but not much more than that.

If everything in Amanda's life is so perfect, then why the mood swings, the obscene thoughts, the urge to harm the people she loves? What are those tapping sounds in the walls? And who's that woman following her? The mystery behind what's happening to Amanda in Come Closer is so frightening that it "ought to carry a warning to...readers."

2/10

Could not finish it. Bland writing. Characters are superficial(as in no depth). The story has been done a lot already. Think of it as a book written for adults in a young adult style and fails.



Polly Perks joins the Discworld army to find her brother Paul. "Ozzer" cuts off blonde braids, dons male garb, belches, scratches, and masters macho habits aided by well-placed pair of socks. Legendary and seemingly ageless Sergeant Jackrum accepts her plus a vampire, troll, zombie, religious fanatic, and two close "friends". The best man for the job may be a woman.

6/10

Reread. A typically(for Pratchett) fun read. Not as funny as about half of his other discworld books. Lots of commentary on sexism and gender as well as being sexist itself. So deconstructing it could be interesting or just read it for fun.

PSYCHOTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FILM by Michael Weldon. One of the first books I got that I started checking off titles and lending to friends to do the same. Invaluable, but no doubt, the most Dog Eared book in my collection.
