mudpuddles Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just read: Dracula Just cause I've never actually read it, and wanted something scary to read. Not too scary though. Now, I'm thinking about Frankenstein or A Christmas Carol. Probably go with Frankenstein. if you want something scary try amityville horror. i don't know if it was because i was like 12 when i read it but that book still scares the shit out of me and i have a hard time thinking about the scene (from original movie) where the imaginary pig friend is peering through the window. something about ghost stories that are supposedly based on true stories that gets me freaked out every time.

suca Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The Road is a great book. I really dug it. Very depressing at times, but such a good read. well... it took me only a few hours to read, and i can say that it made me want to kill myslf. do NOT read this book on a grey seattle day.

Schnitzel Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 trouble with Cormac McCarthy is he uses too many words in some bits of the Road. It's like he's sitting there with a thesaurus using the next synonym each time he needs to say a similar thing if you get what I mean. Still was a good book but it took me three hours to read so it's not heavy going. I'm reading this at the moment pretty good but I'm not too far into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpuddles Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 forgot i read this back in march or april. i liked it but it felt very familiar, even with it's different format, to the 3 other palahniuk books i'd previously read. i decided to take a break from him after this. i liked the oral history format. a lot of characters for me to remember but did a good job of noting who the people talking were in each new chapter.

Important Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I saw this movie when I was in grade 9 in science class. I totally forgot about it til a couple weeks ago when I was looking for some info on Carl Sagan and I found out that he originally wrote the novel in 1985. I had to pick it up and read it right away. I'm about a third of the way through right now and I'm just starting to get into the real good content. If youre not familiar with the story, its about a group of scientists who discover a radio signal sent by intelligent life coming from something next to a nearby star. I'm not that far into the book, but from what I remember in the movie they recieve a set of intructions on how to build this crazy machine and this main character ends up travelling briefly to another dimension or something. I'd have to consider Carl Sagan an idol of mine, not only a brilliant guy but also a stoner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpuddles Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 ^^^ let us know if its worth the read. as dumb as it is i love that movie. but i've always had a thing for jodi foster, in a totally homo kind of way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudpuddles Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 ^^^that book left me with a bad taste in my mouth. i think i was the 3rd palahniuk book i read in row in like a month so it might have just been overload. i really liked survivor. but i think i already said that.

iloveboxcars Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 i liked all of chuck p's earlier works. choke, survivor, invisible monsters but the last 3 or 4 (maybe 5) books have been trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Orenthal Norton Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 i If you or have ever skated i suggest this book to the fullest. Right now I'm contemplating reading it again. Read it about 5 years ago. Flat in some parts. But the story kept a solid grip on my short attention span. Which says a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
