@ Porter - "not very prolific" - rotfl

We know who he is, but that is still a pretty funny comment.

Ha ha. Very funny. His dad is the "King" of horror. I've got his stuff memorized...

@D.L., Joe Hill's dad dabbles in writing a little as well. He's not very prolific, though.

Last book I read was "20th Century Ghosts" by Joe Hill - a collection of horror short stories. They were awesome. He is a horror author, but also writes a comic called "Locke & Key" with artist Gabriel Rodriguez, that I have yet to read. But it's on my list, along with his first novel "Heart-Shaped Box".

Yeah - that's the only version I've read (twice...). I've read the Bible several times through. Les Mis is a much more arduous task.

Les Mis is one of my favorite books ever! I even braved the unabridged version, it's longer than the bible!

Oh - I missed that. I haven't read any Tolstoy yet, and I've got a few Dostoyevsky books sitting on the shelf that I have been dieing to start, just haven't had the time.

If you like old, classics, have you ever read Victor Hugo's Les Misérables? That is an awesome story!

@ Kory- Nikki Sixx, as in the hair band Poison? haha.
@ Ana- I read that last year, I loved it!
I'm currently reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. Very classic and very long. But I love old books so I'm in my element.

I'm thinking of picking up "Tale of the Stitch" by Nitwan Purltoo.

I just finished Simple Genius by David Baldacci, whose work I really like. Over vacation I'll be starting Invisible Prey, the latest Prey novel by John Sandford. I also have the 'I am legend' short story to work on a couple of others...it's good to have options. Sorry no graphic novels or knitting books at the moment, but you never know.

Ana writes:Plus there's a thing called FATHERHOOD! :)

I'm currently reading Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Yeah, it's an old one but I've been wanting to read it for a while...and it's taking me a while too. I like to be able to spend time in the book, but I get distracted by the one year old ruling our house. :)

I never knew there was a book called The Friday Night Knitting Club. I'll have to bring it up tonight...in my knitting club.

@ Ape- I think I'm blue about Blu

Re: The Friday Question - Reading

Cap'n - that's totally what the book is about. You've read it too, haven't you?

Re: The Friday Question - Reading

TrouseredApe — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:24:17 -0000

Bad Mike - isn't that $50 supposed to be used on Blu? Your assimilation to the other side is not progressing as quickly as we would like. Looks like we will need to engage in another round of shock therapy...

@Cap'n, I didn't read "Planet Hulk". I'm kind of lukewarm on the Hulk in general, but I've heard nothing but great things about the Incredible Hercules run and wanted to try that out.

Though the hints about WWH I got out of this book make it sound pretty awesome. I might go back and catch up.

However, I am pretty sure The Heroin Diaries is not as enticing as the Friday Night Knitting Club!

Re: The Friday Question - Reading

Kory — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:21:03 -0000

Just finished The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx. Book was truly insane as it tracks his extreme cocaine/heroin addiction from Dec '86 through Dec '87. Amazingly enough he kept diaries during this time and used dialog from himself, band members and friends to fill in the gaps and tie the story together.
