Jayson - I haven't seen the film either...if it's not good enough for Alan Moore...
He'd probably go on a revolution against the usage of spoons if he could.

That's why I like the cantankerous old bastard
i can see this has become a random thoughts thread
1) AMERICAN GODS was very good, I liked ANANSI BOYS even better.
2) I'm on Volume 8 of THE SANDMAN series. Obviously the fact that I've stuck around to be reading the eighth book tells you my opinion.
3) I put aside the Sandman stories temporarily to read WATCHMEN. I love it.
4) Just about to finish THE MAN WHO LOVED CHINA. Interesting biography.
5) My next non-"graphic novel" is probably going to be INSOMNIA. Finally.

My mom is going to read it.
I saw this. I'm here sporadically the last few days, but I read every post.
I Shudder At Your Touch is a nice little anthology. I have all the books you listed that you've been reading with the exception of the Lee Child books.
I have Imagica too. You need to read it as soon as you.
I got Elantris in the mail today!
Daggers - awesome shout on Water For Elephants!! Just finished it...amazing...I wouldn't have ever thought to have picked it up if you hadn't mentioned it
I've just started on A Clockwork Orange!
Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.
You can't ignore my girth.
Viddy well, little droogie! Viddy well!
Glad you liked it!Daggers - awesome shout on Water For Elephants!! Just finished it...amazing...I wouldn't have ever thought to have picked it up if you hadn't mentioned it

I decided to read this short book. I'll read INSOMNIA next.

Just finished a reread of Everything's Eventual and am reading Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.

A couple dozen pages into Elantris - so far so good.
my reading abilities (read - ability to concentrate) have gone way down. i'm still trying to get through house of leaves. stil reading up high in the trees.
listening to insomnia. i think i'm falling in love with ralph roberts and joe wyzer.
I have found myself reading short stories and novellas recently.
Am currently reading the other stories in F&SF. After reading SK's (which i really liked), I figured I should read the rest of them. After that I will read through the September issue of Asimov's Science Fiction
As soon as I am through with those two, I plan on reading a chapbook called "Witching Hour Theatre" by Craig Shaeffer.
Life is a garden...dig it!
Just finished Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison and am currently reading On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God, also by Louise Rennison.

Still re-reading Liseys Story.Bool-Ya!
The answer is within
Started Choke the other day. Not too far in, but so far so good. I'm hoping to have it finished by the time the film comes out.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I plan on stopping by the BMV (used books) to find Anansi Boys. I think I might also pick up some of the Dark Tower audio books. Justin is a huge reader and liked some King books....he liked all the Lord of the Rings but he's never too enthused about DT.
I thought that I wouldn't mind having someone read the books to me and maybe he'll listen with me. How could anyone resist that very first line?
Edit: Just finished The Children of Men. It was good. Much less violent than the movie...I think had the movie followed the book to the t, audiences would have been bored. It was a great read, though.

I never read the book but I did see the movie. I thought it was boring as it was. If it could have been even more boring I'd probably have shot myself for wasting 2 hours.
The book had much fewer explosions. In fact, I don't think anything exploded.I never read the book but I did see the movie. I thought it was boring as it was. If it could have been even more boring I'd probably have shot myself for wasting 2 hours.
It was good. A little slow at the beginning but it's not really a very long book.

I've read Imajica, Brice...i wanna get it again. btw, you would prob enjoy the Lee Child series. Start with Killing Floor. this dude is fuckin good; even King himself has raved about the guy, and its not even King's genre.
currently reading From A Buick 8. not as lame as the cover makes it seem at all.
just re-read Misery and Everville. I love Clive Barker, but he really needs to get the fuck off his ass and start releasing some of these long-awaited sequels! After waiting four effing years, Abarat 3 was due out this month, and now i hear its been last-minute postponed AGAIN! and how long have we waited on the third book of the Art now, fourteen years?!? damn! i understand he's a multimedia genius, comics, movies, books, tv shows, etc., but take some time to slow down and finsih old projects!
In addition to the Rennison book, I'm reading The Listeners and Other Poems by Walter de la Mare.

I finally just started INSOMNIA for the first time. I like a book where things start getting weird fast.
