Ah, an oldie but a goodie!

It is indeed! I read it a long time ago ("The Denial of Death") and have lately had the urge to get it back onto my shelf for a reread.

I just purchased a horror Fantasy book

Someone suggested a book to me "Lessons from an Evil Mind" This book is by a new author, but I have to say, I really enjoyed it..In fact some parts scared the heck out of me. I have been looking in forums for anyone else that has read this book. Anyone here?
Thanks

I'm trying to find a good mystery. Maybe I'll read one of my mom's Agatha Christi novels.

Today I spotted these two (both for them two bucks and pretty much brand new) in my local Goodwill store:

Today I spotted these two (both for them two bucks and pretty much brand new) in my local Goodwill store:

The Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes

What luck!

Call of the Wild was required in the 10th grade, and I dreaded it since I hated dog books. Silly me; great book!

I first read it in 8th grade. After that it was Jules Verne - I fell headlong into Verne books. My very first book was Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
