I wonder if he hadn't had access to a gun, would he have stolen a car and tried to kill as many pedestrians outside the mall as possible? Then maybe have crashed into a brick wall as a suicide method? If the intent is there, it seems a mentally unstable person with homocidal and suicidal...

Hmmm but what if ... the Democratic Party is the secret power behind US donkeys? Let's hope not. Or are squirrels really robots powered by tiny alien invaders who can't seem to get the hang of driving on the right side of the road? Let's hope not. I think the lemmings are secretly powered by...

That was exactly my first thought when I saw the title of this thread! Wolf's Hour is the best one.

Mine will always be The Ice People by Rene Barjavel. It was published in France as La Nuit des Temps . I read it in the mid 70's for the first time and have read it repeatedly since then. It is an incredibly good story and is definitely a social commentary as well. Well worth anyone's...

I read Sunshine earlier this year and am holding on to it for a second read. It is a very original, adventurous and imaginative tale involving magic elements, vampires and lots of dessert. A very fun read.

The Eight is an incredible read! I've read it maybe a half dozen times by now. It offers an intelligent blend of historical fiction with a great modern adventure/thriller story centered around the ancient game of chess. Absolutely fantastic. I also like A Calculated Risk quite a bit and it...

Koen offers very well written historical fiction and I've read Through a Glass Darkly more than twice and Now Face to Face twice. Dark Angels is a prequel but it is better to read TAGD and NFTF first. Read and enjoy!

Moore is one of my all time favorite authors. Very few writers can make me laugh as helplessly the way he can. I read Bloodsucking Fiends years ago and then most all the others. I haven't read much new stuff since Angel, but intend to rectify that really soon. Fiends remains my...

I'm also waiting for the third in the series. Yeah, Stefan is cool and so is Adam, the alpha werewolf. I like Briggs' writing style and appreciate her imagination. I'm not into the character Mercy as much as I am with the whole magic world that Briggs has created.

Has anyone seen this on Yahoo today? Can you relate? My worst cube experience involved a 50 hour a week senior accountant's position in a cube with three-foot high walls next to the executive and marketing areas. Quietness and privacy were not to be had. I left after three months. The...

I really enjoyed it and learned a good bit about the Russian "mentality" in the sense of how they as a cultural body think, perceive their world and react accordingly. I assume he accurately portrayed the Russian people in this way, but really don't know. Anyway, it is my favorite Rutherfurd...

He has stated that he wanted to write a historical novel for a change from his horror novels but publishers were having none of that. Consequently he quit for about ten years and then wrote Blackbird. I love historical fiction and especially 17th century settings in the Charleston SC area so...

I've bumped this thread in the hopes that any experienced Moorcock reader who checks it out can help me find a title. Over twenty years ago I read a Moorcock novel that included a main character that was a witch (?) named Luna or Sybil, but I can't remember. There were two other main...

Christopher Moore! Everything he writes makes me laugh til the tears are rolling.

Historical fiction (without relying upon a romantic main theme) is my favorite reading choice and mentioned below is a mix of some of the authors I most enjoy and will continue to re-read. Some authors have included supernatural elements in their stories and not all works by some of the authors...

Hi Craig - Great subject for your book - I know only a few bits and pieces about the band members and the band's history, but would like to check your work out. I'll look for your post in the Writer's Showcase! I agree with the earlier post about Grace Slick's vocals - such a strong...

Hi Leisa - glad to have another new member along with myself. I sympathasize with no spare time and not being able to curl up with a book for hours on end - but will get to do a good bit of that from now til January. I take a couple accounting night courses every semester at Furman Univ to...

Great question and many cool replies! My name is Elizabeth and it, along with Liz or Lizzie, is always taken everywhere I go. So Leyland is for my 1976 British Leyland MGB!

I didn't see a mention of Gillian Bradshaw's novel form of the 12th century Lai de Bisclavret titled The Wolf Hunt, but I really enjoyed it and plan to read it again soon. It is paranormal historical fiction and a well-told medieval tale. I've read Operation Chaos by Poul Anderson at least...

Another new reader signing up! I'm also happy to have found this forum and hope to get many new recommendations and ideas for new reads. I've read countless hundreds, or likely thousands, of books since I was six years old. Since I love history and fantasy, I typically look for historical...
