I'm not much of a Stephen King fan at all. However, I will say that when King wrote The Stand, he wrote a 20th Century masterpiece. It's a fantastic novel.

In my opinion, King's written at least one of the best books of our era and some of the very very worst. LOL.

I would say many of the very very worst.

That said I always felt Misery was a master piece and The Stand is also amazing.

In horror I have always felt that Graham Masterson was very very good. And Lovecraft and Poe obviously were the greatest ever

mhm. A new Secondhand/Antique bookstore has just moved into an empty shop a couple stores down the road for me. It won't open for a while but the owner seems a very decent chap and is allowing me to look through his stock in advance as long as I help him shelve it all. 22,000 books in total which is about heaven for me.

Works of all genres from all Authors. Truly something I am looking forward to in the near future.

Anyhow I have started reading Nitzsche at the moment. Thus Spoke Zarathustra is the current work I am readign.

Ulysses by James Joyce. Do not ever read this for fun.

1984 was a nice book. Definitely read it.

1984 is one of those books that should be read by all.

A truly remarkable book indeed. I also recommend 2001: A space Odysee by Clarke as well. An incredible book.

The Gormenghast books by Mervin Peake.
Such an awesome group of books and so under-appreciated. yes.gif

I'm reading the second Christopher Paolini book, Eldest, at the moment. Great books! Especially if you like fantasy stories. Its a brilliant storyline and the characters are really interesting. The first book is called Eragon (yes the same as the film but don't judge the books on that pathethic excuse for a movie. The book is 100 times better!). The final book of the trilogy is out 20th of September 08, so long to wait!

Other books i love are the Lord of the Rings and (of corse) the Harry Potter books. I know they're considered kids books but lets face it science fiction books have the best plot lines!

Just finished Animal Farm by George Orwell.

A great book I couldn't put the thing down. I think i lost at least one customer because I was to slow to put it down when they came in. Was a worthy trade though. lmao

I am actually reading this great book at the moment, called FACTORING HUMANITY by ROBERT SAWYER.

For anyone who likes slightly oddball reading, I would recommend this. Set about ten years into the future, it isn't too sci fi to be offputting, but yet different enough to be obviously different.

Haven't finished it yet, but from the feel of it we should have a great ending.

I love Emerson. And Thoreau, too.

Have you read: Bill Bryson - A Short History Of Nearly Everything?

Kinda history of science, but well-written, with humorous anecdotes throughout...
