Terry Pratchett seems good, I've only Read "Good Omens".

That's good but read any of the Discworld books, they are brilliant! Think J R R Tolkien on speed crossed with Monty Python and everything is a piss take of the real world!:thumbup

I am Legend by Richard Matheson

Isn't it called the Omega Man or something?

Isn't it called the Omega Man or something?

the original title of the book was "I am Legend" (1954), then it was made into a movie "The Omega Man" starring Charlton Heston (1971)..the first film adaptation starred Vincent Price "The Last Man on Earth" (1964)








(in the book,...it was mosquito's)

I am reading, and have been for a while, "1491: The Americas before Colombus"

Interesting stuff, and doesn't make any attempts to appease white guilt. Honest and straight talking, and mindful of the disadvantages that peril civilizations growing up in isolation.

Oh ok, that's where I was getting it. I can't imagine Vincent Price as the last man on earth.... :24:

1) Generation of Swine, Gonzo Papers Vol. 2, Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s by Hunter S. Thompson.

2) Notes on Blood Meridian by John Sepich

3) A Reader's Guide to Blood Meridian by Shane Schimpt

I've read "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy twice -- now I'm studying it. Good stuff.

unatural exposure by patricia cornwell

ryder how is that one?

 

[Abcinthia]

Sunshine by Robin McKinley (I think that's her name anyway). It's a good plot but shit writing so it's been taking me a while. Been tempted to stop a few times becuase the writing's been so annoying but I never stop reading a book so I've been slaving on.

Lucifer Effect by Zimbardo

 

[Peter Parka]

Me and my brothers by Charlie Kray - probably one of the worst books written by the Krays by their brother who, lets face it, was a bit of a twat.
