The books thread

finished Duma Key by Stephen King last night...the man has not lost his touch, excellent book

really? i haven't picked this one up yet. it didn't look all that great.

yes, it really marries is early work to his later works really well. i know the plot sounds a bit weak, but it is quite solid. The fact that its also a bit autobiographical is really nice too.

cool. i know i would eventually pick it up, but i'm a bit less hesitant now. i just have a big stack of books to get through before i go buying any more.

to go with the zombie discussion,

the walking dead anyone? good stuff.

Excellent comics, have the first two collections.

just finished thelast of the paperback 30 days of night trio. Its a pretty damn good read.

just finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. WOW. to find out that being successful really only comes down to when you were born (among other things) is a fascinating and disturbing thought

Yann Martel- Life of Pi.  not to bad so far but i almost put it down. the first 100 pages are kinda boring. way to much getting to know the character and his life leading up to the main plot of the book.

HOLY SHIT! WTF?! OMG! GTG! LMFAO!

just finished Stephen King's Duma Key. it was pretty. better than i expected.

about to start Bret Easton Ellis' The Informers. this is my first time reading one of his books, but i've heard good things and i love the two movies made from his books. i'm starting with this one because i read about it being made into a movie and want to read the book before seeing it.

[bright lights, big city]

what movies have they made from his stuff?

[devlin]

less than zero, american psycho, and the rules of attraction. the informers and lunar park were also made into movies and are coming out soon.

i've only seen american psycho and rules of attraction. saw a trailer for the informers and it looks good.

I started reading Stephen Kings "Duma Key" last week. absolutly brilliant so far...

But then my girlfriend lent me a book called "50 ways to fuck the planet" . its all about the various ways damage is caused to the earth and global warming contributors. I never realised so much alien flora and fauna are rampant around the world...and stay away from salmon..they are force fed processed proteins thats creates deformities in them. not good

Reading the Fall of Cthulhu graphic novels.  Also, still smashing some Keene and Laymon.

I don't think I've posted about this yet but if I have I apologize...

Anyway, if anyone has ever worked in an office...PLEASE read "And Then We Came To The End" by Joshua Ferris.

It's funny as hell. So entertaining and a book you'll never forget.
