heretic909 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Half of my book collection is audio and sound reinforcement texts, and the other half is occult (such as The Malleus Maleficarum and The Greater and Lesser Goetias) with a few history books mixed in with the bunch. Probably nothing that would be considered a thrilling read, but it's what I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorfern Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 I picked up "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr on my flight back from london. I'm half-way through it and it's very good. It's a serial-killer mystery/thriller that takes place in old NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycchic24 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 I finished Valley of the Dolls about a month ago! excellent, couldn't put it down. I used to read Grisham all the time but they got to be too monotonous... same story lines. I loved the Vampire Chronicles. I think Queen of the damned was my fave... which htye made into a movie featuring Aaliyah. it hasn't come out yet though.. i think its slated for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppanils Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 The Reaper by James H. Jacksonits very fast moving, but it can get very confusing. many of the characters refer to themselves in the third person and quote biblical stuff. there are biblical passages as well. It is also very graphic and bloody, with the pope getting blown to bits and northern canada getting nuked in the first chapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barvybe Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Well dear, if u've been checking out my bedside table:- A Walk in the Woods (Bill Bryson) - a rollickingly humourous account of his semi successful walk on the Appalacian Trail.- just finish a LoTR reread in prep for next months theatrical release (awesome awesome books of course)- Black Mass (the true story of an unholy alliance between the fbi and the irish mob) - excellent, unbelievable account of crooked going ons in bostonABout to start: A Man in Full (tom wolfe) and Stolen Lives (Malika Oufkir)also great, though not that recent was the Red Tent. Get it. Read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehacker Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 recently finished (took a while;it's a collection of shorts but they'reso deeply detailed it takes a while toabsorb them all) burning chromeby william gibsonstarted but slow-going(i.e. i never seem to find the time)the trial by kafka (bought it when i got fired last nov; actually before i got fired, making it an even more interesting coincidence; like it was on my doorstep, just delivered from amazon.com, waiting there for me as i was getting home trashed from a bar after i was given the news and ex-co-workers did their best to console me)snow crash by neal stephenson (author of cyptonomicon; this one was written in his william-gibson-wannabe days but it's still quite good.)nethack-cyberpunk-sci-fi and headfuck-metaphoric-philosophyare my two fave genres.

pkern Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Just finished "Country of the Pointed Firs" by Sarah Orne Jewett - beautiful, sensitive and wise book by an extraordinary American female novelist who's too often overlooked. Right now: "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson. LOVE IT - it's a series of interlocking short stories - extraordinary moments of consciousness as experienced by the most common, beautiful characters (similar to Hemingway). Gorgeous and tragic. Next up: "American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
