So it goes.
"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. "
- Oscar Wilde
I'm about half way through and I'm really enjoy it. It is very well written with rather a tense story even though it's being told in a series of first person accounts. I think it's a very enjoyable read.
I just finished this book and loved it. Let us know what you think when you're done!Originally Posted by citiesburnred
I picked up Skeleton Crew for $2.00 and that's what I'm reading now. I thought I'd like to have some short stories.

My name was finally called on the audio for Duma Key on Monday. I've been on the waiting list since March. So since I finished The Stand five minutes ago, I'm going to start Duma Key sometime today.

I'm reading a sci-fi book called The Eyre Affair, set in an alternate universe where time travel and allsorts are possible. However, people have managed not only to travel in time, but within time in books and this pyschotic villain and his gang have kidnapped Jane Eyre and are causing all sorts of havoc - its excellent!
Oh, I've heard of that one. I need to add it to my list!

It's hilarious, and right up your street. I think you'd love the heroine of the story, she kicks ass!
Excellent!

Phantoms by Dean Koontz
Assorted works by de Sade
Some LOST magazines
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
Puscifer, "The Humbling River"
OMG, that sounds absolutely brilliant!Me also, it was a great book

Legend by David Lynn Golemon - So far a very good read
still reading American Gods.... i can't remember the last time i took this long to read a book... but i've been distracted by Final Fantasy 9.. anyways i'm at the part whereSpoiler:
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
Kootz's Phantoms is one of my real favorites, at least for the first half or so of the book. The sense of dread is almost overpowering!
John
anyways i'm at the part whereSpoiler:
I wish I could help you Beams , but it's been so long since I've read that book. I do remember what part you're talking about, though. Maybe Lisa could you, she's read it also.
Just finished The Running Man... freakin brilliant! I think I'll finish Swine Not? finally...
Enjoy! It's a great book.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
