I agree, Little is great!
In addition to the other stuff I've already listed I'm currently reding Good Omens.
it's amazing and hilarious. you'll love it!It's like my third or fourth reread of it.
A couple of weeks back I found a HC to replace my paperback and figured I'd reread it again.
Do I get a gold star?
Just finished The Gunslinger as I attempt to walk through to the end of the Dark Tower again.
After reading it, I came up with more questions than answers. It read like a different book though which was good. the appreciation for this book has grown. I may have to shuffle it up a bit on the order of the series.
On to The Drawing of Three
Hello all, big recommendation here, especially towards Jayson. READ THE REPAIRMAN JACK SERIES. It has a fantastic pace, character development and complexity.

"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
I didn't mind TEWWG. I read it in AP English my senior year, and the discussion was good.I had to read this for an English class.
The only book I hated more was Blood Meridian.
I swear there is a message board somewhere for English teachers where they sit around and try and figure out the most annoying book ever.
The book I didn't like for English class was Things Fall Apart. Guh.
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Same here. The worst part was, when I got to college, I had to read it again for another English class. It doesn't get any better the second time around.
Fine, ignore my recommendation, but you're missing out.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's definately become one of my favorite King stories.

Actually, I agree with you. F. Paul Wilson is pretty damn good. I've only read a couple of The Repairman Jack stories though so far.Hello all, big recommendation here, especially towards Jayson. READ THE REPAIRMAN JACK SERIES. It has a fantastic pace, character development and complexity.

the nice thing about being sick (the only nice thing) is you have plenty of time to listen to audiobooks.
listened to the watchman by robert crais. now have to find every book in the series, damn him.
listened to insomnia by stephen king (duh). wow. you know, i think this is a much better book on audio than being read. you get more out of it. it has skyrocketed to my top ten list of king books. and i'm totally in love with ralph roberts just so you all know.
listening to hold tight by harlan coben (have about 90 minutes left). i think harlan coben is great. and i really like scott brick as a narrator (which i why i bought this book).

I just finished Fight Club...wow, what an interesting read. I loved the pace of the book and recommend it to all (guys and gals!).

I bought an autographed copy from the author after she had finished debating Stephanie Sellers, the sex columnist from The NY Press, at Lolita Bar last night. So far it's not bad, although her description of visiting a sex toy shop in Manhattan has this Pauline quality that is a bit over the top, IMO.
+1 Great books they can really suck you in.Hello all, big recommendation here, especially towards Jayson. READ THE REPAIRMAN JACK SERIES. It has a fantastic pace, character development and complexity.

I also highly recommend any Douglas Preston- Lincoln Child books, especially the Alloyisious (SP) Pendergast series.
Right now however I am reading Hostage to the Devil by Malachi Martin.

I just got done with Red Mars, now I'm starting Green Mars, then Blue Mars.
I was going to start that series some time ago Matt, but I opted for Harry Potter instead.
How did you like the first book?
You should try some of his other books if you have not. I would suggest Lullaby next.I just finished Fight Club...wow, what an interesting read. I loved the pace of the book and recommend it to all (guys and gals!).
"As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."
When two fit, it makes you think
I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.

i knew you were stillSpoiler:
the repairman jack series kicks major ass! i have to agree with matthew on this one. i have all of them and read them again and again (i'm ocd that way). plus, thanks to our very own ricky, i have an autographed copy of virgin personalized to me.it's not a repairman jack book (he didn't have any there) but it's fucking f. paul wilson's signature and it says to turtlesong which is doubly cool since that's my name here and sai king is the president of the repairman jack fan club!
the pendergast books by preston/child are amazing. i think that character is one of the freshest in fiction lately. and i really like where they are taking him.
i'm really hooked on harlan coben right now. and of course, i'm always hooked on pseudopod. if you guys like short fiction (about half an hour) of the audio variety i highly recommend it.
can anyone say book geek? that would be me.
I actually enjoyed it a lot. Very scientific and does a lot on social structures which I like.
I got so close to the people in the first book though, the second (new characters, same story) is proving hard to get close to, but I'm still liking it.

Thanks, AH! I plan to read more of his books, and I'll definitely look for Lullaby. We own Snuff so might try that one next.You should try some of his other books if you have not.

Let me know what you think of Snuff if you do read it. I read the first few chapters but then got sidetracked with another book and haven't gone back to finish it yet.Thanks, AH!

If you want to pick up some of his other stories I would second Lullaby as well. It's one of my favorites.
