sadly i've depleated all the king novels i hadn't read except for, his book on writeing, and danse macbre.(BLAST!) so i've recently started reading konntzs ,who i had never been able to get into before. now after reading the bad place i'm hooked on him,(go figure) i just finished servents of the twilight(excallent!) and am about to start strangers. if you are like me and could never gat into him before, give the bad place a try.it's a gret read and might help turn you on to koontzs.

I've finished Cujo, depressing really.
Yeah, that's exactly what I liked about it.
Just finished "Julia", by Peter Straub... not quite as good as most of his latter work, but a Damn Spooky novel in its own right. Talk about your twisted developments...
As for Koontz... I have never got into him and have never read "The bad place". I have, however, read "Servants of twilight"... I found it far too naive for my tastes. I dunno, I have read a couple of his novels and one or two of his short stories, and he just doesn't seem my kind of writer. He strikes me as the Steven Spielberg of horror literature: skilled but too childish for his own good.

Yes! I never post in on this forum topic. But right now im reading the "Battle Royale" novel, and it is awesome!
Read it before you see the movie is what I recommend because when I read the book I keep picturing he movie.

Are you reading THE BOOKS OF BLOOD for the first time? If so I envy you. I think it is the best horror fiction ever! Or at least when I first read them it was.

I just dove into Stephen Kings IT, having read much of his work over the years, but somehow I never got to this gem. I'm about half through, and , as is usually the case, it is MUCH, much better than the movie.

Reading THE SILMARILLION by Tolkien. I like this one even better than THE LORD OF THE RINGS, but I think because I read "Rings" I appreciate this tale of the first age of Middle Earth even more.

On Basilisk Station by David Webber, it's military sci-fi. It's okay, but having trouble really getting into it. I'd call it a cross between Space: Above and Beyond and Star Trek: Voyager as the book focuses on the female captain of a warship.
Also currently reading Ultimate X-Men graphic novel #6. The Ultimate X-Men comics I've read have been pretty good so far, some of my favorite stuff from Marvel in the last several years.

Cool, I've read all of Clarke's Space Odyssey novels. I mostly read 2001 so I could get a clearer understanding of the last part of the movie. Excellent book, excellent series. I wasn't crazy about the direction he went with 3001, the last book. Thought he took what was a brilliant concept and made it somewhat uninspired and negative. Didn't really fit in with the vibe or the message of the first three novels.

Currently reading "Houses without doors", by Peter Straub, a pseudo collection of short stories (I say pseudo because of the way he arranged them)... Very disturbing, as is the case with Straub's best work, but some of the stories seem a bit too drawn out.
