I've got Contact, but it's got a few more ahead of it before I crack it open. Just a question: is it like the movie, yes or no. I want to be surprised. Pale Blue Dot, I've seen that one in the bookstore a few times, guess now I'll have to pick it up. Thanks. |

What're yah goin' to college for? Just my GE right now, but I plan on becoming a writer/director so I can make my own crapics. I needed a science class, and saw astronomy was open, so there. I had plans to do a short film (bordered on exploitation) with a script that's 3/4 written. But the people I believed were going to help me with it either moved or turned into drug addicts. So there's your first lesson--don't count on other people when you want to make a movie. My brother has a camera every bit as good as the digital cameras used for 28 Days Later. Say, if you ever want to, and I can still get to it, my family owns an abandoned, decrepit farmhouse perfect for some "Evil Dead" style film! Complete with raccoon shit and woodticks! |

In Cold Blood, ayy: I've been meaning to read it for years and there's always something else in the way.
Tell me what you think, Pulp.

Evil Eye is - so far - my favourite Slade. Let's see if it works that great for you, too, Livingdeadgirl.

In Cold Blood is a brilliant book. It's so...chilling (no pun intended) and just unnerving. Pioneer of the true crime novel. Capote is a great writer. Very difficult to explain how though in such a short little space.
Now I've picked up Fight Club. The book.

"The Servants of Twilight" by Dean Koontz after ditching his ultra-weird "Hideaway."

I'm right now reading Ed McBain's "Hark!" - a great police story recommended by none other than Michael Slade; not as much horror here as in Slade's own novels but the dialogues and the plot are just great!
Next there's Dean Koontz's Frankenstein - thanks a lot for it, Livingdeadgirl!

I actually finished a Brief History of Time from my readings of it when I'm on break at work.
Started back in on Visions of Heaven, about the discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope.
I'll be sticking with the Astronomy reading for a while...

I finished "Servants" in a totaql of 4 and 1/2 hours. 1 and 1/2 hours more than it took me to read "Make Love!* *The Bruce Campbell Way."
And now onto Koontz's "Midnight."
