After finishing the classic series, had to start this:
Started a couple of days ago, already close to finishing. Even at just over 200 pages long, that's a fast pace by my standards. Think I'll try and squeeze the first 4 books in the next 2 weeks or so.

the Babylon 5 novels
Ooh, never watched Babylon 5, not properly, anyway. Is it as good as they say? How are the novels, by the way?

they're set during the series and most aren't considered cannon
Ah, kinda like the New Adventures, then, canonicity wise. I'll be honest though, in that case, curiosity has got the better of me, and they did keep the story going for a lot of fans while the show was off the air in the 90s.

Finally got around to reading "It". Just under 200 pages in and quite enjoying it thus far.
Darwin's Blade by Dan Simmons and listening to Psycho II by Robert Bloch
This:
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

NEED:
One For Road Signed Artist Edition, PS Publishing
The Gunslinger Viking proof
Carrie $7.95 Doubleday later printing
I really, really miss the trippy S.F. covers. They were original and looked so freaking cool. I bought a truckload (OK, more like six) paperbacks from Ace just based on artwork. Computers were still primitive and not everyone had access to them so artists had to draw. Imagine that! Drawing instead of photoshopping stuff? Crazy!
Anyways... I'm at exactly half-way mark of The Crook Factory and it's getting even better. The excruciating details Simmons gets into (not just what they eat, not just the seasonings they use but the order in which it was cooked) still bugs me (P.S. they eat a lot) and I can't for the life of me find the purpose to them, but the book is still great and I suggest it to everyone looking for a well-written story. It's historical fiction and you'll be thinking about what parts he made up and what parts are facts he dug up while researching.

That's one I'm really looking forward to, Bev! I hope you enjoy it
I see it now. I'm in mid-December, and the story has grown on me, but I'm not sure I'd put it up there with the greats, at least not yet. One of the things the twenty-one year old hitchhiker said-- about how she stopped pretending her life didn't start yet, that it was already a quarter over with-- really rang true to me. I also like the bare-bones prose style of Bachman.Hopefully when you've read more than a few pages you'll see there's nothing random about the "Fred/George" thing. It's a heartbreakingly touching book; one of my all-time favorites. Most don't seem to like or appreciate it, alas.
And now this:
This Ex-Heroes series is turning out to be pretty good. Super Heroes and Zombies, but in a much different type of story than something like Marvel Zombies. It is definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of either genres.

I actually saw the first book in a shop yesterday and thought it looked really interesting. Once I'm done reading the first 4 NAs, I may check it out, sounds like a nice, easy read.

Yeah, it is a nice light read, but very entertaining, imo.

Woah, what is this beauty. Graphic novel?And now this:

One of the best series of 2012. Gotta get my hands on Vol. 2

Nope. They are actual novels, not comics. There are three of them out now(Ex-heroes, Ex-Patriots and Ex-Communication) and a fourth one called Ex-Purgatory on the way in January. I think you would enjoy them.
