Dracula By Bram Stoker
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat" -Theodore Roosevelt
The Handmaid's Tale by Margret Atwood....book won the first Aurthur Clark award in '87.
I want to read that sometime. I loved her book, ORYX AND CRAKE.Originally Posted by jack12k6

I am reading Hearts in Atlantis right now, I recently finished The Dark Tower Series and I can say I am hooked!!
glad you liked it, you'll love HIA, The title story, as well as Low Men In Yellow Coats, were my two favorites.
I'm currently rereading A Song of Ice and Fire for the 3rd time. I'm taking it slow this time, if I'm lucky I'll finish the last one around the time they publish a Dance With Dragons.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Huhn. Well, personally, I can say that I didn't like Choke, although I do think that "meh" really would say it better in my case, as well. However, I love Fight Club, so I don't think i'm really getting this mini-analysis of yours, Jean. I'll have to pop by that thread, too, if I get time, by & by.You don't like it?I hope to post there sooner or later, only I am afraid what I can say will sound very much like what Hannah already said there.
I can't say I don't like it, or I can't say I like it; I don't find anything to like or dislike. It's the same sarcastic cud all over again, the same intellectual blah blah blah which makes one wonder how he can separate it into what he for some reason calls "novels". (more later, in the appropriate thread)

"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
i'm trying to finish Eldest (christopher paolini, eregon thingy) but under the dome is sitting on my shelf, looking down at me. If i start a a book, good or bad, i'll finish it. Eldest isn't all that bad but i think this time i'll quit and start UTD. mabey go back to it later.

I will definitely track down the related suggestions you posted earlier, pathoftheturtle! This is just what was waiting for me on the 25 cent shelf at the library.
re-read that one earlier this year
alan watts is always good stuff
Just finished the Road and I'm about to start reading 20th Century Ghosts. I enjoyed Heart-Shaped Box, but it wasn't as brilliant as everyone made it out to be, so I'm hopeful that this collection will dazzle me.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
I loved HSB, but 20th CG is by far superior, IMO. It is one of the best short story collections I've EVER read...and I read alot of them.
I'm currently reading Bentley Little's The Policy. His books are SO fuckin' twisted.
What Brice said.
Finished THE EYES OF THE DRAGON.
Now about half way through UNDER THE DOME.
No, it wasn't.
Hear, hear.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will definitely track down the related suggestions you posted earlier, pathoftheturtle! This is just what was waiting for me on the 25 cent shelf at the library.Lucky you. That's a great one. I always recommend "The Book" first for those who want to start reading his work.
it is an excellent place to begin with watts.
i also have a fairly good selection of his speeches on audio and often start people with those. i find his voice hypnotizing in and of itself, and then there's what he's actually saying. i've gotten several people hooked on watts that way. once they've heard him speak, they devour his books.
Just finished Legacies by F. Paul Wilson and am now reading The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks.

There wasn't any blood or guts or brains on them, were there? I mean, "used" and all.Yes, there are and they are awesome. Better still I got mine used for $5.
