GameFaqs Poll of the Day: Have you read a book in the past year?

[Hole Shot]

Are there that many out there? And are any of them decent? Other than the No Man's Land novelization by Greg Rucka which was great for what it was, I've only ever seen like 4 and they were all horrible.

I was just being a smartass in that post, but to answer your question - the only ones I know of are No Man's Land and Knightfall (which I just got the audio book for!)

 

[Addendum]

There was a novelization for the Death of Superman, written by Roger Stern.

It was meh

I hope the author of Battle Royale will write another book. And it doesn't even have to be set in the Battle Royale world

He's in the middle of his second one according to the info about him in the book... and that was awhile ago.

 

[Addendum]

I remember when Hannibal was finally published. There was a magazine article about Thomas Harris. The writer asked Harris why there was an 11 year span between the release of Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Thomas Harris said something to the extent of "I do other things in my life beside writing"

Perhaps the author of Battle Royale is the same

 

[Superhobo]

"We" Yevgeny Zamyatin
"Tap!" Rusty E. Frank
"The Total Penguin" James Gorman (great book, pick this up if you can)
"Penguins" Roger Tory Peterson (R.I.P. "King Penguin")
"A Scanner Darkly" Phillip K. Dick
"Valis" Phillip K. Dick
"The Man in the High Castle" Phillip K. Dick
"Cell" Stephen King
"Hannibal Rising" Thomas Harris (which sucked).

And I think there's a couple more. But, I'm forgetting what... eh. Oh, yeah. And that's ****ty Happy Feet Juniour Novel they released when the movie came out. That movie got the shaft as far as novelization and merchandising are concerned, IMHO.

What Stephen King books have good endings? i read Liseys story and that ending was ok.. but others were a bit odd good though

I thought so, it just got me wondering.

2 or 3, WWZ


if comics counted then that number would be astronomical.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Yes,i have read some.

 

[The Spawn]

NOVELization's count.

 

[Bastila]

Loads I read a lot, and I got too many books to read, I have brought 8 in the last two months and I have only read one of them, with 2 books I got to read yet which I got for xmas last year lol.

 

[Hole Shot]

NOVELization's count.

So if novelizations of comic books count, then what if I read a comic book and promised I didn't look at any of the pictures?

 

[The Amazing Lee]

About 3-4 in the past year...maybe a little more.

The ones that I can remember finishing are:

Yes man by Danny Wallace
Join me by Danny Wallace
Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I may have read a few more...but I cannot remember.
