I'm almost finished re-reading Tommyknockers and just wondered what everyone else is reading? |

After watching Band of Brother I'm tempted to go back and try to get through Mein Kampf I also have the 100 classic book ds thing, so I'll have a look through that and see if anything appeals to me |

After reading Twilight (in about a week) and finding it 'ok' I thought i'd stick with the series to see how it went...wish I hadn't bothered! New Moon is soooo predictable, I don't see why teenagers have fallen into this trap. It's a Harry Potter wannabe only without 97eyriuehf (sorry, cat wanted to add something to that!!) anything to keep us interested. It's a Mills and Boon for kids....so sad! Will be moving onto the Richard Hammond autobiography at some point this week..if i don't die of boredom finishing New Moon. |

I have to admit, I have read the whole Twilight series ( embarrassingly quickly ), and I did get really caught up in it. I know, I know, its cliched, its no masterpiece of English literature, but as an escapist piece of fiction I did enjoy it, and I went with it. Maybe it was the frame of mind I was in at the time, but what can I say gothic romantic in me prevailed on this one. Yes I said it, I said it out loud. What is a concern, ( Spiff also touched on this in some of his many rants ), are the people who will read it, and the sudden popularity of the very things that we were once criticised for liking, leading to ever more mainstream and watered down versions of our treasured myths and legends. I guess that's always been true, but I still want to scream 'you so do not understand, you weren't there in the beginning, you don't know how good it was, how important etc etc' Ok i'm going to stop now. Currently reading Queen of the Damned, almost finished and just started Kafka on the Shore |

I enjoyed Queen of the Damned. But I preferred The Vampire Lestat. I keep meaning to read Memnoch The Devil... When will someone make a decent TV series of the Rice books?

I did really enjoy both books, think what I prefered about Queen of the Damned was that you got all the different stories and histories of the characters, and from their point of view, rather than from Lestat's persepective. Liked how the stories all weaved together, and working out how they fitted together, the story of the twins etc. A TV series could be fantastic in the right hands, if done properly. I'd hate it to end up being some horrible half assed attempt though. |

I'm reading Stephen King's Skeleton Crew just now. Picking out the stories I haven't read before. Just finished Word Processor of the Gods. I was surprised it had a happy conclusion and didn't end with the world ending, the devil showing up or the main characters dying horribly. |
