QUOTE(marquis @ Jun 19 2006, 03:01 PM) The Wheel of Time can get pretty...twisted? that one my good man is the 'hogfather'.. dark would probably meant gaiman stuff. Good omens is a good collaboration though. Chuck palahnuik - stranger than fiction/fightclubg, i find that one pretty depressively interesting, like watching an alligator eating a pig... ugly but fascinating. hehehehe Terry Pratchett is an aquired taste. His jokes can be either really funny. Or really dry  Read the Hog-something (hog father was it? Death playing Santa). Thought it was pretty good. But it's not dark enough for my liking. Hehe  |

QUOTE(emino @ Jun 20 2006, 02:02 PM) Ohhh! Just found this club! I LOVE reading. Practically goes to Borders Times Square every day during the semester break to read. I can finish a book in a day there. Sounds like on the path to chic lits. personally i think Borders are ok... heck they had some of the titles i'm looking for. This month I have spend all my money on Princess Diaries Book 1 - 6 and a good fantasy book call Percy Jackson & The Olympians, The Lightning Thief. It's about Greek Myth clash with modern days. Quite cool! I love Meg Cabot's book, which is Princess Diaries series, Avalon High & Teen Idol. I wanna try The Mediator but unfortunately Borders dont have book 1 - 4 in the stock. I also loves HP series. Read them all. Looking forward to book 7 next year! The downside is how they lump the book categories (this is a personal preference) i feel kino's better in distinguishing the type of books u looking for. Just finished prattchet's Mostrous Regiment. on Chapter 3 of gaiman's Anansi Boys. Interestingly, anyone read Gao XinJiang - One Man's Bible? Finished that... the book is about bonking.. |
