ROFL!!! Why YOU Should Vote for Hilary Clinton, by Bill O'Reilly, with introduction by Rush Limbaugh

Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris (couldn't resist the sale, LOL!) Marie Antoinette, by Antonia Frasier The Fourth Hand, by John Irving (again) Lisey's Story, by Stephen King. Thriller, a collection of short stories And The Curious...

Here's mine for today: It amuses me that at nearly 60, I am the computer geek in my family and circle of friends who are all technophobes. That's not about me, lol... i was copying it as a quote to reply to on another forum. It seems really strange out of context!!

I read somewhere that sharks never get sick. They are somehow immune to all diseases. Eek! This is a great thread, BTW.

Wow... I feel 100% differently. I loved Sixth Sense and Signs, but The Village was a little... eh... and Lady in the Water was just a bit simplistic (and weird) for my taste, given what I've come to expect from Shyamalan. I thought Lady in the Water was aimed more at children, though, so I'm not...

Including the infamous crash. :confused: no idea

Sorry, just thought of 2 more. Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs and A Million Little Pieces by James Frey are (debatable) non-fiction, both having to do with life's struggles. Frey's book is about overcoming addiction, and is a bit disgusting at times. Burroughs writes about his...

Amistad was a decent film, but maybe not quite what you are looking for, since it is follows a group of Africans taken against their will (duh!) from Sierra Leone, and the movie is about their journey and their fight for freedom vs. the relationships between master and slave. The Color Purple...

Hiya, So I was gifted Hannibal Rising last weekend, and I tore through the book. I have to say that I think it is by far the best of the series. (Although I wasn't terribly impressed with Hannibal or Red Dragon, so I guess that's not really saying much.) I thoroughly enjoyed this one, though...

"I am nothing but a corpse now, a body at the bottom of a well." My Name is Red, Orhan Pamuk

The Idiot's Guide to the Holocaust by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad How to Win the Super Bowl by Peyton Manning (I HOPE!! :p )

I second Life of Pi- fantastic book, and a bit strange, but definitely interesting. If you are looking specifically for classics, try 1984 by George Orwell. It is in some respects similar to Catch-22, but without the elements of WW2... it's where the phrase "big brother" originated, and is...

I really liked "2 Lives," by Vikram Seth. It is a non-fiction book about his uncle, who was Indian and moved to Germany just before Hitler came to power, and his aunt, who was a German and a Jew. They met while his uncle was a student in Germany, but didn't get married until years later in...

I had never heard of Manhunter before this thread, but it looks good. I loved Ralph Feinnes in the role of Francis Dolarhyde, though, and he did an excellent job of freaking me out, so I'm not sure I need to see the original. :p What do you reckon? Ah, well. Too bad... at least I got the...

Oh goodness. I must be the only person who hated this book! And I mean hated! I thought it was just plain boring. It dragged on and on and on and on and on, the ending was predictable, and I found the language... awkward, I guess? It's like she was torn between trying to write a literary...

Wow..... and I thought I was possesive about books! :cool: I'm not one of those that needs my books in pristine condition; I read in the bathtub, on the train, at the restaurant- anywhere really! My books generally look 65 and ready for retirement when I get through, but I like to really...

Oh no :( I picked up the Thomas Harris books just before "Hannibal Rising" came out at a buy 2 get 1 free sale... I have to say I was really disappointed with Red Dragon- thought it was crap and the movie was much better, which NEVER happens!- but I just finished Silence of the Lambs and...

If you liked "We Need to Talk About Kevin," you might like "Hide and Seek" by Clare Sambrook. It's about a boy who goes missing while on a field trip, told from the perspective of his 9 year old brother. I really enjoyed them both, even though they are quite sad. You might also like "Never...

No... LOL... it's not for 10-year olds. I just mean it is much more sensitive than the others I recommended, and it made me cry in a couple of places. It is definitely an adult book, though. And that is the movie I was thinking of, with Robin Williams and Pacino. I agree, it was pretty crap...

Excellent book- it is one of his first, so it's a bit more simplistic (and much shorter than his recent work), which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It was published as Richard Bachman, and I generally find those books much bloodier and weirder and not as good, but this one is an exception. In a...
