Everyone here should pick up the book Blood Meridian.

Haha...I know this is probably really really sad and I'm probably gonna get flamed for it. But if anyone reads romance novels of any kind I highly recommend picking up Sherrilyn Kenyon's Darkhunter series.

They're actually highly entertaining in the obnoxious romance novel way.

...also the Rhapsody series by Elizabeth Hayden. But you didn't hear it from me.

lets see.

i love to read but i dont read as much as i use to.

i started by reading WoT but only got as far as winters heart before i stopped. ive boughten every book up till the last one but ive not read them yet. im going to wait till something happens with the last book then give it a go, i hope the last book is still the same even with robert jordon dead.

i just finished reading the sword of truth novels by terry goodkind and i found them to be very well done. i read the last 3 back to back over a week. i quite enjoyed them to say the least.

ive read the entire jack white dream of eagles series and i found those very enjoyable, among my favorite. they cover the fall of rome to the rise of king arthor over several generations the books span.

ive read tad willaims almost entirely from his science fiction otherland series to his memory, shadow, and thorn series. both where good.

currently im reading a tale of the mazalan empire but there is 3 more books to go so ive slowed down and decided to read other things so i dont suddently hit a wall and have to wait a million years for steve erikson to finish writing the last ones. i like his complexity and more realistic and dark writing style. when i return anything else it seams to make all other books laughably easy to understand and read.

I've read Maddox's The Alphabet of Manliness lately.

If you love the site, you'll love the book. Tons of classic lines in it.

And my sister needs to shave her beard now. She got it after looking at the title.

I just listened to the BEST audiobook hands down.

Stephen Colbert: I am America and so can you.

Read by colbert himself and anyone who has seen his show The Colobert Report, check your local listings, knows how funny this man is. Great listen. Definitly check it out.

Double post cuz I read 2 books!

Just finished reading Manifold: Time by Stephen Baxter. Great read. I read it once a while back but it was in such spaced out sessions that I didn't follow it too well. This time I read it in a much more timely fashion and I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in scifi novels that are based on current scientific theory. Or to anyone that likes Squid.

The premise is a man in the near future wants to go to space[spoiler] and sends an animal made sentient by man[/spoiler]. Events then unravel quickly and I don't want to say more other than read the first four chapters and if you lose interes its not for you. But if you do find it interesting you won't be dissappointed. This is book 1 in a trilogy. All of which can stand on their own.

Triple post cuz I am apparently the only one that reads...

I read the Sandman series again. I loved it more the second time. But why go into detail when in this case its impossible to do without writing a book of a post.

JUST READ IT!!!

Another series for darker romance.... JR Wards, The Black Dagger Brotherhood series....It not to bad. Not as extensive as Kenyon's Darkhunters..... But sometimes that's a good thing.

I've restarted Interview with the Vampire. For no apparent reason. It's a pretty good book, considering you don't bleed your homophobic glands to death because of the sheer homosexuality of the thing.

O.o

Anyway, it's good.
In a macho way.
Yeah, macho!
...

Arg, go read it. And don't look at me like that. ¬¬

Also, if Clara creeps anyone else out of their minds, feel free to join the club – we've got jackets. And stickers.

Remember a good ways back Regal suggested the "His Dark Ojects" series to me? I'm still reading it.

Well... that's what I'm currently "reading" though not much of that is actually happening.

I am reading Dick Masterson's "Men > Women".

So I've just finished "Neverwhere", by Neil Gaiman.

It's a pretty good book. The best I can do to describe it is that it's like Harry Potter... but much more macabre, sinister, with horror elements, a lot weirder and more exotic, more disturbing, and not a fat saggy bag of clichés.

Best thing about the book is that the author only gives the reader the narration of the facts – most of what happens behind the scenes must be figured out by the reader. You have to interpret the book to understand it, and there's no "right answer". I love books that do that. You can even see the ending in a number of completely different ways.

It also doesn't have a morale lesson. I love books that don't have morale lessons.

Definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a bit of exotic fiction in their reading repertoire.


I also finished Interview with the Vampire for the second time and started reading its sequel, The Vampire Lestat, for the second time. The sequel is much more awesome than the first one (but also more gay).


So Neil Gaiman's short stories and romances have awakened in me an interest for H. P. Lovecraft. Has anyone here ever read Lovecraft? I want to find something by him.
I'm crazy to read Call of Ctulhu, y'know. =3

The only Lovecraft work I have read is Dagon, which, while interesting and well done, was slightly flighty.

I'd like to be able to read Cthulhu, but I have yet to have the chance.

Currently reading the assassin series by robin hod. really great series.

The Outsider and The Statement of Randolph Carter are two good places to start with Lovecraft. Probably best to move on with Innsmouth and the longer tales after you've experienced his shorter stories, then the Cthulhu Mythos, then perhaps At The Mountains of Madness, his short novel.
While essentially a man of the Weird and all its entailed gimmickry, he is worth getting to know on what dimensions of variety he possesses, and this would expand, perhaps, well beyond the relative fame of the Mythos.

Either way, since I'm here I'll throw a book at you -

^ I read The Color from the Sky (or something similar, don't know the original title) and some other short stories.

I rather loved Rats in the Walls.

And the Horror of Dunnwhich was a pretty good read.

I'll see if those you suggested are in the couple of books I bought. Thanks for the suggestions. ^^

Reading Ron Paul's "The Revolution: A Manifesto".

^That and the Brazilian reminded me of reading the Manifesto Antropófago, which is actually a pretty good cultural read.

H-hey! You used that accent correctly!
(It indicates the strong syllable in that word, if you're wondering what it did)

Oswald de Andrade, isn't it? I've got to study him for school. One of the main writers of Brasilian modernism.

I knows

I'm good like that. He's also got one of the most interesting outlooks on development of a modern society...Which pretty much makes him teh pwnage and hence why I know of him.

And yes. The accent should have been correct. I copy and pasted it

I have the english version. Cannibal Manifesto.
