By the way, if you haven't read " House of Leaves" you should do so now. This book is damn expensive whereever I can find it! Last time I considered buying it during my trip to Paris but then decided to buy three other books instead - for the price of House. |

Really? It's like, 20 bucks here in the States, which is about five dollars more than your average trade paperback book (the ones that are the same size as hardcovers...but paperbacked). I think it's because there's so much color put into it. Libraries are handy. I started reading it from a library copy but decided I loved it so much I went out and bought the thing.

from Gabriel Garcia Marquez:
Love in the Time of Cholera
The General in his Labyrinth
Collected Stories
Oh and Bless Me, Ultima by some dude whose last name is Anaya.
I think that's been all.

Tell me how good Slaughter is, Livingdeadgirl. And enjoy Wolves - one of my faves in the Dark Tower series.
Myself I just ordered King's Lisey's Story. Heard it's great.

I don't have much interest in Reading any of the above King. The next King book I look forward to reading is his next novel, "Duma Key." |

Tell me how good Slaughter is, Livingdeadgirl. . Well, if this one is as good as her others, it should be excellent!  When does Lisey's Story come out? I looked at it on Amazon & it was still pre-order. |

I understand your lack of interest in The Dark Tower series... but why would Lisey's Story turn you off?
...oh and: Lisey's Story came out TODAY, I think. I pre-ordered it, too.

This is undoubtable the coolest board I have ever had the pleasure to join!!
You people have read HOUSE OF LEAVES!!!!
And by incredible co-incidence (if such a thing is real), I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Z Danielewski last weekend at the Toronto International Festival of Authors.. what a cool guy, and of course I got my copy signed and picked up his new book ONLY REVOLUTIONS which is an incredible reading experience so far....and the last book (but by far the least) I got...

Yes. I met Danielewski a couple weeks ago too. He's a pretty cool dude.
And Only Revolutions is good. I don't think I was as amazingly amazed as I was by his first book (I mean, it is my second favorite book of all time) but it begs to be reread in all sorts of different ways. I think I talked about it more in-depth a few pages back and there should be a review for House of Leaves around here....
