Song of Kali - Dan Simmons

I like dark humor like that too. Probably because it makes something really difficult to process easier.

Wow. I don't know what to be more in awe of. Your finding of a book after at least two years of searching or that you remembered looking for it in this forum and came back to bring closure to this thread. "Your patience and determination are great my son." Shoot, it happened again. The darn...

^If you're determined to read a conventional novel? No. If you aren't interested now you won't be by the end either. Pull the ripcord, land safely.

2 may have been harsh but I certainly liked it less than any of his first few books. And take those ratings as how I remember feeling about those books and that I don't always remember well. I still haven't read Invisible Monsters (don't know why), Diary, Snuff or Pygmy. I've got the last one...

Just found out Palahniuk will have a new book in May of this year and two more are done, but, as of yet, have no release date I could find. Of his novels that I've read I rate them this way. Fight Club - 5/5 Survivor - 4/4 Choke - 5/5 Lullaby - 2/5 Haunted - 3/5 Rant - 2/5

Guilty of the first reason. Books 3,7,8 and 19 fit the bill for me.

The Subject Steve - Sam Lipsyte The Futurological Congress - Stanislaw Lem ..too capricious to commit to anything beyond that.

The Lathe of Heaven - Ursula K. Le Guin The Terror - Dan Simmons The Wasp Factory - Ian Banks City of Thieves - David Benioff Maus - Art Spiegelman The Frontiersmen - Allan W. Eckert

A Maze of Death by Philip K. Dick - this book is very much in the same style as And Then There Were None but with the usual religio/philisophio elements that Dick is known for mixed in and there is a surprise ending as well.

The ones that stood out. The Frontiersmen - Allan W. Eckert The Informers - Bret Easton Ellis The Wasp Factory - Ian Banks City of Thieves - David Benioff The Book of Skulls - Robert Silverberg An American Childhood - Annie Dillard Island - Aldous Huxley The Lathe of Heaven -...

A Feast of Snakes OR All We Need of Hell OR The Gospel Singer OR Celebration - Harry Crews I, Lucifer - Glen Duncan read more Ellis and Palahniuk generally.

How many Newports are there?

I've read the first three or four and I've enjoyed all of them but the books are getting too long. Is it too much to ask to stay under, oh I don't know, say, 1,200 pages? He ought to make them half as long and make the series 20 books instead of 10.

That'd be great.

Hi libri, What did you think of VALIS (besides the four stars I see you rated it). Here's the book of the month thread for it. Post away, I'd love to get some more feedback.

Is there another?

What's a good rendezvous? Vale? Banff?

An even more interesting question (aside from the thread title) is could they create original works? I think yes. In a related story, Steven Tyler may or may not be writing his autobiography.

And not just Shakespeare but other classics like Warhammer 40k.
