Palahniuk is a different read. I haven't read Fight Club, but have read Survivor, and Choke. Survivor was my favorite of the 2. I suggest reading a bit before deciding if its something you want to read.

Has anyone ever read Fight Club? Is it worth the read? I was just wondering if anyone claims it to be better than the film.

Ok... About done with American Gods Also reading Dead Sea Where have all the leaders gone? Vellum Still reading 13 Bullets BUT one I picked up today that I think is going to be awesome. The Looking Glass Wars here is a link to the site www.lookingglasswars.com. They even have a soundtrack, which I found a band I really like, check out Hypnogaja Nil, on the site for the book they even have an online card game that may be worth looking at. I haven't checked it out yet. This is supposed to be a trilogy, Seeing Redd is the next book that is out. I think this may be my new Harry Potter. |

Here is my latest read. I think it's one that the more literary-bent members of TGH would particularly enjoy.

I've been reading American Gods as well. I think I've found another favorite author in Neil Gaiman.

Ok... I saw this book online many times and I just thought it looked like it might be on the cheesy side. But I decided to pick up 'Monster Island' by David Wellington.This is an awesome book. Quick read. got it friday and will probably finish it tonight or tomorrow, but an awesome zombie novel. It's the first of a promised trilogy. I picked up 'Monster Nation' today, the second book. The last that is to be published in September is 'Monster Planet'. Wellington has a vampire book due out in May called '13 Bullets'. I think the vampire genre is overplayed, as some may say the zombie epidemic has become. However, with what he has put on paper for zombies, I will pick up '13 Bullets'. I am also reading 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. This is a cool story so far. Kevin got me wanting to read this author and Jon got me wanting to read this particular story. about 1/3 of the way through. I like it, I will tell ya more later. |

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty cool read. But I don't know if that's in his collection or not -- they're in storage right now, but I'll keep my eye out for it next time I'm going through them.

I started this yesterday...A Canticle for Leibowitz On a personal note, Quade, I think you'd appreciate this book. If you haven't already read it pick it up. I wouldn't be surprised if your dad had it in his massive sci-fi collection.

Alhazred is one of the best books I have read in quite sometime. I put it right there when I read 'the stand' the first time.If you like your reads to be graphic... pick it up. |

I've been quite prolific in my reading over the break... Shortly before, I finished Will Storr vs the Supernatural. Quite a quirky and funny book, but I found some value in it for how it describes the hobby of ghost-hunting (which I would seriously love to pursue one day). Then there was World War Z. An oral history of the Zombie War. I found it entertaining, but a little repetitive. and now Knock and I are both reading Alhazred. It's fairly good, in my opinion, though I'll let Knock voice his own about it. It's set in the Cthulu mythos and is the tale of the sorcerer who wrote the Necronomicon. I'm also slowly reading Winkie. The story of a teddy bear who wills himself to life and then finds himself on the wrong side of America's War on Terror.

I've been reading the new Eberron line of D&D novels. I like them. They are D&D but have sort of a pulp feel to them. They are different then Forgotten Relms or Dragonlance. My favorite so far is the Orb of Xoriat by Edward Bolme.I'm also about a quater of the way thru Insomnia by Stephen King. Its starting kinda slow but I'm hoping it gets better. |

Eragon (1st book of the Inheritence Trilogy) is kinda cool. It reads like a 15-year-old trying to sound like Tolkein/D&D, but it's still pretty cool. And it's signed to be a movie for next year... |

So after reading more of Gaiman's stuff, I come to find out that he blends the fictional world with the real world. He'll break time barriers too. It's fun to read, and the elements blend so well. I recently read a short story he did called "A Study of Emerald." It's probably my favorite of his short stories, because of 2 reasons. It blends Lovecraft and Doyle. If he could get the rights to Sherlock Holmes, he'd have some great success with the New New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Think of the possibilities!!! Anyway, have a read. It'll only take 20-30 minutes of your time.

Hey, I saw the BBC production of Neverwhere (it's like a 6-episode series, i think). It was pretty cool. Very different.

I finished reading Colorado Kid. It was good. If you aren't a King fan, you may not like it. It's only 80 something pages and it's a quick read. It's a part of a collection called Hard Case Crime. The Colorado Kid was $6. What's cool is that you can be a 'member' and they will send you 2 books a month for the price of one. I've started reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I read it Sunday nights on my breaks at Hastings. It's, so far, pretty interesting. Story is of a man who encounters an injured girl in the streets of London. Since that point he loses his existence and exists in this "Neverwhere". An alternate world of sorts. I was looking for American Gods, but they didn't have a copy of it, so I decided to read Neverwhere. Neil Gaiman is the writer of the Sandman comics, if you didn't know. Don't worry Edge. I'm reading WOT at home.

You sound like Gabie. Everytime we go out to rent a movie, I try to rent some classics I grew up with, or movies that I think are great, and she falls asleep within the first 30 minutes. It sucks. If Toby fells the way I do, he'd be crying himself to sleep because he's lonely and nobody likes him. Ok. Not really. It's frustating I guess, but that's it. An eye roller at most. That's the way I feel when she does that. It's not her fault. She's tired. It's hard to watch a movie that late after working all day. Suggestions? Read out loud. Take turns reading so many paragraphs. Don't read in bed. Sit up while you read. Slap each other in the face every 2 minutes. |

Poor Tobby, we have been trying to read the book together and me being the old fogie (sp?) I am I try to go to bed early and be asleep by 10:30-11. He doesn't get tired until 11 or later and we always start reading at 10:30 or 11 and I fall asleep every time....I feel badly, because I actually like the parts we hve read but it is taking forever to read it...I think we are on chaper 5? so sad...maybe it will rain all weekend (so I don't have to do yard work!) and we can read

In preparation for the movie, I picked up "The Increasingly Inaccurately Named Hitchiker's Trilogy". It's been a loooong time since I read the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and never read the others.

I have never read a Dean Koontz book in my life till about a couple of months ago. THey had a excerpt of Odd Thomas in a Maxim magazine and it pulled me in. I bought a copy and read it.It was a really good book. It could make for a really good series (of books), but Koontz isn't one for series I guess. I suggest you all grab a copy and read it. It's a fast read. Not your typical Jordan, Goodkind, or King length of book. His latest "not counting his take on Frankenstein" is Life Expectancy. I'm looking forward to reading this one too once I finish Wizard & Glass. |

I'm halfway through the 5th Harry Potter book and I have to say that if you enjoyed the movies, the books are phenomenal. I realize I was a little late in discovering that on my own, but better late than never.My only regret is that I've enjoyed 5 books back to back and now I'm actually going to have to wait for the next.
