I have this one! of course I bought it for the title - it was clearly about cats, and cats are bears' closest kin! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

Some very interesting titles I must say. Actually, that is how I got interested in the Dark Tower series.

ladyhitchhiker: you read momo by michael ende! are you american? because it seems no americans have read this book, which is famous everywhere else (well, in europe and asia as far as i know). it breaks my heart, because it's one of my enduring favorites.

Momo is one of my alltime favorites, and yes, I am an American!!!! :excited: It took me forever to track it down, though. I'm so excited to meet someone who's read that book! I loved that book so much I named my degu that... She died from a tragic accident but it's an amazing book and I don't understand why it wasn't made into a movie as well.... If I am ever rich....

but back to interesting titles (I'm going to be lazy but honest):

So Long and Thanks For All the Fish

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Life the Universe and Everything

Mostly Harmless

No Traveller Returns

The Good House by Tananarive Due.

And i was not disappointed, she is a great writer and i was excited to find a really good black horror writer :D
Sai King even commended her writing. After that I read the Living Blood and My Soul to Keep by Ms. Due and was once again satisfied.

Soon I will be Invincible...

Haven't made it through the book yet, because I got busy about it and forgot it in the trunk of car and read 40 other books (at least) but I plan on finishing it.

"A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius"

is he amazing or what? and i love the prologue or whatever he called it (i can't remember off the top of my head) when he lists the page numbers he recommends that you skip cause they're kind of boring and nothing really happens anyway.


I Am Legend

:clap:
this was so amazingly well written. and as much as i like the movie, i love the story. i love it so much, i have the single novella, the book (with the other stories in it), and the audiobook. yeah, i'm a freak that way. :lol:


The Good House by Tananarive Due.

<snip>


i have the good house as an audiobook and it was outstanding. it's a long audiobook, too. over 20 hours.
