Intensely depressing but uniquely written and powerful, I'm looking forward to reading Blood Meridian next.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

I recently read my first Chuck Palahniuk book - 'Choke'

And my friend has insisted I read Brett Easton Ellis and that I begin with 'Less than Zero', so I just read that (and if you haven't read it and have seen the movie....its COMPLETELY different)
And I am currently reading 'American Psycho'

I'm about half way through Choke right now.  Good stuff.

blood meridian is one of the best things i've ever read. far, far better than the road. very different writing style, incredibly dense and hallucinogenic. i rarely read more than 20 pages at a time, just to be able to take it all in. i've read a few of his other books too, nothing comes close to this one.

'American Psycho' is the only book of his I've read, and it's a deeply disturbing book.  Currently reading a collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories myself.
"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."          -Bobby Finstock

A Widow for One Year- John Irving (favorite author)   :mrgreen:

and just finished The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult- didn't really like it, but I did enjoy the graphic comic placed throughout story.  Too much of a chick writer for me and I picked it up out of boredom and ignorance (apparently) b/c I don't know much about her or her books.  To sum up, won't be reading any other books by her.

I am now reading IT by stephen king.  A lot of people don't like him because he is over rated... but it is an incredible book and his imagery is incerdible.

Probably my favorite, as well, although I'm not much of a reader.  I read that one but can't remember which story it was.  Is that one the one they made into the movie "A Door in the Floor"?

You're entitled to your opinion but I'm going to laugh at it.

Yep.  Haven't seen it, but I might after I read the book...
