[DarkReflections]

[Bruce Banner]

The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson

I unwrapped it yesterday. Since I have been inside out of the snow I have been reading this. I am posting early because I should be finished within a hour or so. The book is a fast read.

The thought of me drinking as much as him makes me think I would be having throbbing pains in my liver.

Shakespeare's Landlord by Charlaine Harris

 

[ComicChick]

Sexy/Dangerous - Beverly Jenkins

 

[Specter313]

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I had been meaning to read this book for a long time but I haven't had the time until now.
The book takes you on a journey into the mind and psycological insight of Raskolnikoff. It was a very compelling and enjoyable read.
This was my first Dostoyevsky book but it certainly won't be my last.

 

[Yodaman]

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Never-Ending Sacrifice by Una McCormack

 

[Cosmic]

Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert

Fantastic, fantastic book!

I also enjoyed this book very much. I recently finished Dune: House Atreides by Brian Herbert. It has some interesting elements, but doesn't quite compare to the Frank Herbert novels I've read.

This book is a masterpiece.

Children of Dune by Frank Herbert

I felt Dune and Dune Messiah were better, but not by all that much. Children of Dune is equally as thought provoking and has a lot going on to keep you reading. I will say that Leto I felt spoke in philosophy too much at times, and it made him one of my least favorite characters in the book. However, I loved The Preacher and Farad'n. All their material was very strong and compelling.

A Fool and his Honey by Charlaine Harris

 

[Tron Bonne]

EDIT: Oh wow, wrong thread entirely.

 

[Yodaman]

Spider-Man: Goblin Moon by Kurt Busiek and Nathan Archer

 

[hammerhedd11]

Went on a binge the last two months:
Dolore Claiborne: Stephen King
1984: George Orwell
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, The Wastelands: Stephen King
American Gods: Neil Gaiman
Haunted: Chuck Palanihuk
Let the Right One In: Not even going to attempt to spell it

 

[Crockett]

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

Entertaining book and it has a different narrative from the movie, I like the short stories that come with it. It may because I've seen the movie first but I prefer the movie's ending but it's good enough that I like both of them.

4/5

 

[Yodaman]

Conan of Cimmeria by Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter

 

[Spider-Fan]

I also enjoyed this book very much. I recently finished Dune: House Atreides by Brian Herbert. It has some interesting elements, but doesn't quite compare to the Frank Herbert novels I've read.

How are his books by and large? I am hesitant to read his Dune novels when I finish 1-6.

Oh, and The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmon - 5/5

Loved this book. Worthy sequel to Hyperion

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

This book is fascinating from the beginning to the end. His description of Holcomb and its inhabitants is very rich and lively.
The part I hated was the fact it was true. It's truly horrible what happened to such a friendly and innocent family.

I admit that I didn't expect the book to move me so deeply. In Cold Blood is undoubtedly Truman Capote's masterpiece.

 

[Bruce Banner]

Bag of Bones by Stephen King

 

[Crockett]

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Good book, beautifully written and lyrical although the second half of the novel lack a bit plot development which makes the novel seem to drag on for awhile.

3/5
