--- Quote from: Tactical Error ---Michael Crichton- The books are 18 trillion times better than the movies.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Michael Crichton is to science as Dan Brown is to art history and theology.
That said, I enjoyed Jurassic Park, Sphere, and Timeline. (The books, not the movies.)

Im a pretty big Chuck Palahniuk fan, though I've only read 2 of his books. I've tried to find others at the library, but all of them were in different libraries, and on top of that, they were either lost, or in transit or already checked out.
I fucking LOVED Lullaby though. That story totally stuck with me, I read it months ago and I still think about it...
I own Diary, though it's not AS fantastic, but still decent.
He always focuses on such disgusting things that are still realistic like in Diary how he's explaining what Peter looks like for being in a coma for so many years....stuff like that.
I do need to read further into his books though, they make me happy.

I liked Anna Karenina actually. Canterbury Tales is brilliant too.
All you Nabakov fans should track down an Umberto Eco short called 'Granita'. I think it's in his collection 'Misreadings'. Hee-larious. The rest of it is worth a good look as well. Umberto is incredible, if you have patience. I recommend Focault's Pendulum and The Name of the Rose.

Wow an here I thought that I was well read. I am feeling compelled to visit the library now and read some of the authors mentioned. My Favorites are George Orwell, Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells, Tolkien, King... the list goes on. A lot of the authors mentioned above I have heard of just hadn't taken the time to read. Reading has taken a backseat to kids and college at the moment sadly. Now to find my library card...
heretic:
everything i've read by king was shite.
though addmittedly, i haven't read a lot of his stuff. cause it was shite so far
