The Damnation Game is one of the few Clive Barker books I didn't like.

I just read the second installment of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein. I actually got into the story and read it in three hours. Now I'm just pissed that I have to buy ANOTHER book to get to the end of the story. And it doesn't even come out until May 2007.
If I would have known that beforehand, I would have waited to read the first two. I know he's not the only writer working on the books, but I don't know if they're writing the story as they go along or if they're just holding the ending to make people want to buy the last book more.
Either way, it's bullshit.

i keep giving up on books lately - i just don't seem to have the patience for fast-paced books (which are usually also stupid) or the energy to get through slow and thoughtful books. . .what the hell is wrong with me??

I totally agree, but at least you just finished reading the book!!!! I finished it last summer and could barely wait for the third and final installment to come out June 2006 (the original release date). When I couldn't find it, I did some research and found this at a Random House website. The answer to Q3 explains what's taking so long, but it doesn't make me any happier.:mad:

Well, that explains a lot. I hope he means the BEGINNING of 2007, though, and not the END. I'm pretty interested in how he's going to fit hurricane Katrina into it.

I finally got bored enough to read the entire Chronicals of Narnia. I finished The Magician's Nephew and I'm almost done with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The only problem is that I've already read this one twice, so it's taking me forever to finish it.

i started those again a while ago and got as far as 1/2 way through voyage of the dawn treader and abandoned it for a little bit ..

i'll get back eventually - havent seen the mugwumps yet :D

A Scanner Darkly. Been trying to read it for a while now (since about January) but I can't read it during the school year. I am about half way through it but next Sunday I have to start studying for class again so we'll see if I can make it.

I am still truding my way through the patton biography. I bought it so I am going to read it, but I thought it was going to be at least a little interesting. Its a biography so I wasnt expecting much, but damn it I dont need to read 20 pages about all the ways he tried to get his wife to europe during the first world war. I dont want to read about all the ways he tried and failed at football at west point. I wont to read about what made him famous, Killing a lot of germans really fast in WW2.

lol. I read that one a few years ago. I won't give away the ending, but I liked that one...


I'm about halfway through The Horse and His Boy. Its cute. Theres a demon cat in it :D

still reading The Necroscope by Lumley.

not terribly impressed so far .. drab prose ...
i'm sure it'll pick up once the events really start to unfold but i still think this guy is sorely lacking in style ...
