I think its just Frankenstein, so far book 1 and 2 My books are in a big cupboard with a big pile of stuff in front so i cant get to them!! Spring cleaning started early this year!!

mszee · 15 Jan 2007, 01:11

I have books EVERYWHERE...never mind 6 bookcases overflowing...open closet and out flies out big bag of books and hits me on the head...BUT...sometimes I just can't read...

SamCat · 15 Jan 2007, 01:15

I only read a few authors so my collection isn't too big!!

mszee · 15 Jan 2007, 01:30

I used to average about 40 books in 3-4 weeks...now...as Jonty would say...not so good...old age and all...

SamCat · 15 Jan 2007, 01:32

Its finding the time i'll read a whole load on holiday hopefully!!

mszee · 15 Jan 2007, 01:34

Terry Pratchett´s Reaper man..

It´s really funny..

Loafy Meats · 15 Jan 2007, 11:23

Peter Benchley's 'Jaws' - i found it in the cupboard - the book is ancient and kinda brown!! - the theme tune goes round and round my head whenever anything exciting happens.....

I've got a collection called The Bachman Books, which has Roadwork, The Running Man, the Long Walk and (I think) Apt Pupil in it - it's a really good collection...

If anyone has read "Velocity", was it good? I have that one, and the second part of "Odd Thomas" waiting as well.

J.

I read the Husband, quite enjoyed it, haven't read Velocity 'cos I read a load of DK's books, then found some were a bit samey, got so i couldn't see the point in reading them any more 'cos I knew how they were going to go...
My favourites were always Watchers and Lightning tho'...

Thanks for the review, Hypnobabe

I know what you mean.. DK went through some kind of "strange" spell there for a bit, a couple of yrs ago... think that's why I have stockpiled several of his books, without reading them.. needed to step away from his writting for a bit. I'm now reading "Life Expectancy", at so far it is really good. :)

Cold Fire is another favourte of mine. There is a book by Koontz i read a few years back that i can't for the life of me think of the title.
It was about a guy who ended up in hospital and all kind of weird things happened. In the end it turned out he was in russia.
Sorry if i have just spoilt the twist for someone it's just bugging me. I have been on google and can't find anything.
Another good writer is Stephen Laws he wrote a few good books he was from Newcastle just woundered if anyone else had read any of his books?

**RadioMaster** · 15 Jan 2007, 19:45

Anyone ever read Daniel Quinn's Ishmael?
A friend told me about, but I´m not sure if I should buy it.

The Dean Koontz book is called The House of Thunder and its lead is female so that might be why you haven't been able to track it down It was published in 1992 so i think its the one!!

Thanks for that. Was sure it was the guy that was in the hospital and he fell in love the girl?
Matbe i'm wrong thanks for replying to my question.
