Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Awesome!! I know that the movies, The Shining and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are not totally like the books, but everytime I read either, Jack Nicholson is always in my head.Originally Posted by MonteGss
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I saw the movie (cuckoo's) a long time ago but I must admit, even though Jack DOES NOT look like the description of McMurphy, I still am thinking about Jack.
And that's why on one of the other threads about books vs movies, I say only if the physical looks really matter to the story, I don't think it's a big whoop. I'm more on the personality of the characters than the way they look. Except, if someone is supposed to be so darn beautiful or so darn ugly, then it matters. Sorry, I'll save the rest of this for the other thread.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I know man, I read that post of yours. That's why I said it, to razz ya.
damn I'm gullible

I was in the play of Cuckoo's Nest back in college, but I've never read the book.
I'm almost done with The Fellowship of the Ring. I've never read The Lord of the Rings before and I am absolutely in love with the book so far. It's fantastic. I can't believe all the stuff left out/changed in the movies either. You'd think with how long those things were they would have gotten more in.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
I currently reading some shitty-ass fantasy book called Excalibur by Sanders Anne Laubenthal. Not impressed. Good thing it's short and I'll be reading something else soon.
I'm embarassed to admit I'm STILL reading Bev Vincent's book. But damn, I keep finding good insight for the Wiki in there...
Never, EVER give me a "research" book LOL.
I did pick up the paperback of Lisey's Story, so if I ever get my act together that's the next one I'm going to read.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
Heh heh hehI've never written anything of that romance/passion type genre before and it was good fun!
Ok, I had a bit of a book binge on holiday and read:
Salem's Lot (that was a reread)
Dolores Claibourne on Brice's recommendation and I absolutely LOVED it!! What was the other book it refers to (the young girl Dolores sees)?
My Dirty Little Book of Stolen Time - Liz Jensen really funny - a story of 19th century Danish-prostitutes-come-cleaning-ladies who end up becoming involved with time travel.
this book will save your life - A.M.Homes a book SK recommended on his official site a while back - I also HIGHLY recommend it, its absolutely brilliant and very readable.
and then finally I read The Rules of Life by Richard Templar. I'd read all my books and found this lurking in the back of a cupboard at the villa...its loosely a self help book, which I found very amusing as my mother-in-law (who's villa it is) is in dire need of all the help she can get
Gerald's Game. I love Dolores more, but Gerald's Game is very, very good, too.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent - I'll buy that next...I've always heard bad things about Gerald's Game - never anything specific but no-one seems to rate it - but the link now has me curious!
I really liked Gerald Game...
I love books that bring you into a characters head,..and make you feel what the character feels....Like The Shining.. I read it when I was a kid
I felt the cabin fever and it was very uncomfortable.
Now..I relish stories that draw you in and make you feel even if the feeling is hard.
I just read Anansi Boys and Stardust..... Neil Gaimon is great....thanks guys!!!
I am reading Telegraph Days BY Larry McMurtry.

Diablo Guardian by Xavier Velasco (on english it would be Guardian Devil)
