I liked Codex, mostly -- my review

Sounds interesting!

I want to buy it just for the cover, that looks amazing.
I recently re-read One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and Girl, Interrupted back-to-back. Good times! I'm a big fan of those kind of books and movies. Anyone know similar books in the same vein?Originally Posted by Deaf&Dumb
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bears, I am trying to get through From a Buick 8 right now.
I'm about halfway in, and it just seems slow moving.
Am I wrong in feeling this way?
I know you said it was one of your favorites.
Codex did indeed start off pretty well...but I totally disliked the ending. Tried listening to China Melville's RAILSEA. Had to stop 50 minutes into it. I'll give it another try later this week. Deciding to read something from Michael Koryta. I read THE PROPHET which was an awesome book. For those of you that don't know CD ended up making a signed/limited of this book, which I am still waiting for.

Hey, I'm not giving up on it. I just need something to happen, fast.
The Thing In The Crypt by Lin Carter and L Sprague De Camp
Which is probably why The Terror was right up your alley eh?
In Digitized Remorse
Joyland. I've that I can stomach new Stephen King novels if they come in under 300 pages, so this just makes the cut.
Yeah, me too - I think it's been almost a year! Im 3/4 of the way through So Cold the River - I'd recommend it so far if you haven't read it.
Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage. Ray Bradbury

Just finished a re-read of Other Kingdoms by Richard Matheson (Gauntlet Press uncensored version). Not one of his most popular, but I love it. It has fantasy, a touch of horror, love. There may have been someone cutting onions in the room near the end, my eyes had some kind of disturbance.
From A Buick 8
"That which you think, becomes your world" Matheson
reading Anne Rice's The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. Purdy crazy. Wonder if there is going to be any real story behind it. Anyone read it before?
