    Stephen King on sequel to 'The Shining', 'Dr. Sleep'/

    That's it. I posted information about the DT midquel on the prior page.

    Doesn't the phrase mean "ideal man"? That's my guess, anyway.

    You may want to check the Dark Tower thread . . . ;).

    the best fantasy books

    Try Richelle Mead or L.J. Smith. Both authors also write vampire romance for young adults. I'd also suggest Charlaine Harris or Kim Harrison if you don't want to stick to YA fiction. And if you're looking for a non-romantic novel, I highly recommend you pick up Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat.

    They're not written by J.K. Rowling, I can tell you that much.

    Are You A Slacker?

    I try to read at least once a day. Sometimes I'll skip a book if I'm feeling really lazy, but that rarely happens.

    Bad Similes and Metaphors

    :D I'm also partial to the "Shots rang out . . ." one. I can imagine someone saying that in a deadpan tone of voice.

    The Omen Machine - Publication Date Delayed

    This was a letdown. Most of the novel is comprised of lengthy discussions about magic and strategy. Those were present in his other books but those also had more adventure. Goodkind brings back many well-loved characters (Zedd, Nicci, Nathan, Cara) but tends to keep them in the background, only...

    There's no such thing as "weird. At least, that's what I tell myself often. Welcome to BAR :).

    Lou Reed and Metallica

    Their album Lulu hits stores November 1st. The songs are inspired by the play from Frank Wedekind. Lou Reed & Metallica: The View (30-second Preview) - YouTube Hmm. So far I'm not enthused with this. Reed's vocals really don't mesh well with the music.

    It did seem odd how he got top billing. I just assumed it was part of his contract. Would you say this was on par or worse than Conan the Destroyer?

    Red Sonja. Horrid, horrid acting from just about every cast member.

    Looking for some good horror books

    Right now, I can only suggest Poppy Z. Brite's Drawing Blood. It's about a drifter who returns home and discovers his childhood house is haunted. Warning you now: some scenes are not for the close-minded/homophobic.

    What shows are you watching this Fall?

    I missed "Ringer" last night. There's an encore showing on Friday so I'm not too worried. Did anyone get to watch?

    Stephen King: Dark Tower Series

    You can preorder the DT midquel. Last I heard, this book was originally going to take place between Books 4 and 5 of the series.

    Five Dances with Death: Dance One by Austin Briggs :stars3: Historical fantasy set in the Aztec Empire. I enjoyed the book but found the plot confusing at times.

    First 10 pages or more?

    I usually need more than ten pages to determine my feelings on a book. Usually I can start formulating an opinion by 50-60 pages or so. There are two exceptions that I can recall: The Magicians' Guild and Never Let Me Go. Both novels had me struggling just to get through the opening pages. I had...
