Ouf. You have my sympathy, abc; we're going through similar trouble with my great-grandfather. I wish you luck.

House of Leaves It was a creative take on the haunted house genre, and in parts genuinely creepy; but it's also really high on its own cleverness and I never really invested in the main characters. :star3:

:werd F. Paul Wilson's The Keep is a favorite of mine. Peter Straub gets kind of surreal but his stuff is good too (Ghost Story or Julia would be good places to start with his work); ditto Clive Barker (I'd recommend Books of Blood, Coldheart Canyon, The Damnation Game) .

I've had occasional thoughts although I've never felt any urge to act on them.... or was that your answer to the previous question? 'Cause if it was, now I'm embarrassed :/

I liked Sharon Shinn's Archangel series; nothing else is jumping to mind at the moment....

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Classic. :D I love Thomas H. Cook quite a lot, my favorite of his is probably Red Leaves, even though it's unbelievably depressing. I really like Gillian Flynn and Laura Lippman's books that aren't part of the Tess Monaghan series too.

The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty. 36-year old Cora leaps at the opportunity to accompany a fifteen-year-old neighbor named Louise Brooks to New York, where Louise will attend dance school; and Cora seeks information and secrets from her own past. I really liked Moriarty's style and the...

This could really go either way....although it's given me an urge to go back and re-read the book, so there's that.

I have something called an Alirutek Libre lol. It was carried by Borders (before they went under), and I got it because I was working in one of the stores at the time. I actually really like it; it's compatible with sony and google ebooks, although I mostly use Project Gutenberg. Its battery...

Ah, good ol' crazy Adam. If I were a tv show, "Goody Two Shoes" would probably be my theme song :D

Some old-school post-punk/new wave/however you describe it:

I picked up Team of Rivals after recently watching LINCOLN. Its size is daunting :/

After The Red Pony and Grapes of Wrath (both school-assigned), I'll never pick up anything by Steinbeck again. I love Thomas Hardy's poems but I cannot get into his novels at all. I tried to get into Joy Fielding. I read through two of her thrillers; both times the heroine has a turbulent...

Hello!

Two of my personal favorites, Robert Frost: "Acquainted With the Night" I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And...

At that age I was big into Beverly Cleary (Henry & Ribsy, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Beezus & Ramona, etc.) and the Henry Reed books by Keith Robertson. Encyclopedia Brown is good too.

Haha yeah, those two were insane! I don't think Ramsay even raised his voice in that episode, he was too baffled by them.
