Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis.

[Jill's Boob]

and after i finish Lord of the Rings 3 i wanna read through my brothers Star Wars books then buy Jurassic Park and The Lost World. cause i heard they were great.

"Jurassic Park" is a good book, and very different from what was put to film. Both are great in their own right, it is just strange to see what differences were made in adapting a novel for film.

Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis.

I need to read that one - I've read "American Psycho" and "The Rules of Attraction." Ellis has a strange mind, and I love it.

I just read The Stranger by Albert Camus. Besides a great psychological novel, it's such a tight story. The book goes from calm to intense in no time.

I felt this thread had to be resurrected.

Your mind.

Please stop thinking about porn.

It's really distracting when I'm in class.

I, Zombie by Al Ewing.

Very good book. It takes a very unexpected direction about half way through it.

Are You There, Vodka? It's me Chelsea By: Chelsea Handler
Handler proves the adage that just because one can, doesn't mean one should. This applies to both her role as a writer and a narrator. In this disjointed collection of memories and experiences, even her overenthusiastic voice cannot compensate for the irrelevance and frivolousness that is this book. Her anecdotes cover a range of topics from sex to sibling rivalry to parental humiliation, all showcasing how smart and witty she can be-in hindsight. Whether rambling about how she's freaked out by red-headed men or bemoaning her arrest and short stint in prison, her attempts to be funny fall flat and her valley-girl persona wears quickly on listeners.

Diary By: Chuck Palahniuk
With a first page that captures the reader hook, line and sinker, Palahniuk (Choke; Lullaby) plunges into the odd predicament of Waytansea Island resident and ex-art student Misty Marie Kleinman, whose husband, Peter, lies comatose in a hospital bed after a suicide attempt. Rooms in summer houses on the mainland that Peter has remodeled start to mysteriously disappear-"The man calling from Long Beach, he says his bathroom is missing"-and Misty, with the help of graphologist Angel Delaporte, discovers that crude and prophetic messages are scrawled across the walls and furniture of the blocked-off chambers. In her new world, where every day is "another longest day of the year," Misty suffers from mysterious physical ailments, which only go away while she is drawing or painting. Her doctor, 12-year-old daughter and mother-in-law, instead of worrying about her health, press her to paint more and more, hinting that her art will save exclusive Waytansea Island from being overrun by tourists. In the meantime, Misty is finding secret messages written under tables and in library books from past island artists issuing bold but vague warnings. With new and changing versions of reality at every turn, the theme of the "tortured artist" is taken to a new level and "everything is important. Every detail. We just don't know why, yet." The novel is something of a departure for Palahniuk, who eschews his blighted urban settings for a sinister resort island, but his catchy, jarring prose, cryptic pronouncements and baroque flights of imagination are instantly recognizable, and his sharp, bizarre meditations on the artistic process make this twisted tale one of his most memorable works to date.

Water For Elephants By: Sara Gruen
With its spotlight on elephants, Gruen's romantic page-turner hinges on the human-animal bonds that drove her debut and its sequel (Riding Lessons and Flying Changes)—but without the mass appeal that horses hold. The novel, told in flashback by nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski, recounts the wild and wonderful period he spent with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth, a traveling circus he joined during the Great Depression. When 23-year-old Jankowski learns that his parents have been killed in a car crash, leaving him penniless, he drops out of Cornell veterinary school and parlays his expertise with animals into a job with the circus, where he cares for a menagerie of exotic creatures[...] He also falls in love with Marlena, one of the show's star performers—a romance complicated by Marlena's husband, the unbalanced, sadistic circus boss who beats both his wife and the animals Jankowski cares for. Despite her often clichéd prose and the predictability of the story's ending, Gruen skillfully humanizes the midgets, drunks, rubes and freaks who populate her book.

Dancer From The Dance By: Andrew Holleran
One of the most important works of gay literature, this haunting, brilliant novel is a seriocomic remembrance of things past -- and still poignantly present. It depicts the adventures of Malone, a beautiful young man searching for love amid New York's emerging gay scene. From Manhattan's Everard Baths and after-hours discos to Fire Island's deserted parks and lavish orgies, Malone looks high and low for meaningful companionship. The person he finds is Sutherland, a campy quintessential queen -- and one of the most memorable literary creations of contemporary fiction. Hilarious, witty, and ultimately heartbreaking, Dancer from the Dance is truthful, provocative, outrageous fiction told in a voice as close to laughter as to tears.

I wanna get the next book of harry potter when I am done with my previous one!

[GuardhouseMusic]

Just read The Fatal Eggs by Mikhail Bulgakov and now I'm onto The Box Man by Kobo Abe. Abe's stories seem to always end up with the protagonists rooted to a specific predicament or setting, which isn't a bad thing. I suppose that's why some say Team Silent was influenced by Abe's novels. In this case, the protagonist chooses to be a "box man" or someone who literally wears a box over most of his body. I made the connection with pyramid head instantly, but time will tell whether they imply the same themes.

Ive just finished a great series by this author called Terry Goodkind. The series was totally amazing, it was called the Sword of Truth series and it was just simply amazing. The first book (Wizards first rule) is a real master piece and the books just get better through out the series. Im kinda upset that ive finished the series but ah well there will be other great books out there
