Hm. Well, you do have a couple of Lee Child books on your list that you've read... I personally really like his writing and his main character. Although, I try to stay away from the ones in first person.. but I noticed you hadn't read "Running Blind" by Lee Child and IMO, it was his best.

In Halo: Fall of Reach, I teared up a little. When they had gone through the physical augmentation a lot of the humans were either paralyzed from the neckdown or other such things and one of the well-known characters didn't make it, he was in a wheel chair and one of the nurse's were wheeling...

I've also heard great things about Michael (or his brother, Daniel) Palmer's medical thrillers.

I started writing when I was 12. I love it. Don't let anyone say 'oh you're too young too write' or anything like that - it's a load of bollocks. I agree with everything Stewart said - you may wanna start with short stories - a book and a well-written short story are equally challenging but...

You sound exactly like me.

I may read it; for general curiosity only, too.

Poe is great and all, he's a legend, a drunkard too, yadda yadda yadda... I'm not going to deny his writing be good, even great but his works don't scare me - not one bit.

It all depends on the author for me. Although, yes, I've noticed that authors churning out books like nothing aren't really that great and tend to get boring. I wouldn't say 10 is a proper number though. Perfect examples though, are King and Grisham... while their early works were alright...

Intensity by Dean Koontz The serial killer is an interesting individual, and it's from his POV a lot of the book.

'Thinner' wasn't a bad movie. The Long Walk is my favorite book by him.

I have found that he's a pretty slow writer. His fan base is a lot larger than I'd expect it to be though, I don't know why... But his best works IMO were the early ones... where the original plot lines came about.

Well a lot of my favorites in horror would include what's been 'shit-filtered' by Stewart. 1) Dean Koontz 2) Stephen King (Bachman novels, and some EARLY works) 3) Caleb Carr 4) Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (Only a few I would consider horror... and that goes back to what CDA said...

Well, I'm always in the process of reading SOMETHING. How often I read in one day depends greatly on how busy I am... and how good it is. :D

Prey was good but it was WAAAYY too predictable. When the book ended, I thought I was psychic.

Philip K. Dick's Lies, Inc.

I must apologize. Yes, Shade, the whole point of that post was to rile up what I nicknamed the 'uber-intellectuals'. Here's why: All I've heard from these uber-intellectuals is how bad The Da Vinci Code was... why? 'Steaming pile of crap', is usually what the answer is. I heard it so...

No sir, I am not under that impression. After reading it though, I thought it was interesting and pretty good, dare I say. Shade: I obviously struck a nerve with you since you felt the need to reply to me not once, but twice. Mission accomplished, I s'pose.

The uber-intellectuals with there "Darling, you are astonishingly dumb - and because my intelligence is discombobulatingly superior to yours, I say Dan Brown is a terrible peice of sizzling crap." Geez, shut up.

I actually like Dean Koontz a lot. I've read Intensity, Watchers, and Life Expectancy. I enjoyed all of them.
