What a thing to read while eating lunch! Eeewwww! My question is: How could she not know it was there? Did she think she had a really bad cold? Gross indeed!! :eek:

In Queens, NY where I grew up, kids would take the sneakers from someone they didn't like and throw them over the wires so that kid would get hell for losing his sneaks. And a few people did it with their own sneakers if they didn't like them, thinking mom would buy a new pair. :) I never...

No problem! Usually I like being invisible anyway! :D And I took your suggestion and posted some more that I forgot about until I went over the lists and my shelves. The ones that sucked I usually forget or block out--have to think hard about that one. :)

Here's a few more to add to my list: King,Stephen, The Tommyknockers, 8 King, Stephen, The Gunslinger, 8 King, Stephen, The Drawing of the Three, 10 King, Stephen, The Wastelands, 9 King, Stephen, Dreamcatcher, 9 Shelley,Mary, Frankenstein, 10 Asimov, Isaac, Pebble in the Sky, 9...

Being a big fan of classic films, I like to read biographies on movie stars of the past, and books about the films and the studios/directors that made them. Also books on musicians and bands that I like, gardening books, books about cats, & some history. :)

There is a set of Dark Tower books that has many beautiful color illustrations throuhout the books. I would guess that in hardcover they would be more pricey than the non-illustrated version, so maybe what you found online was one of them. Don't know what those #'s & letters mean-I think HB...

Awesome list! Thanks for putting all that work in! It's a great reference point for finding more cool stuff to read. I was confused about the Top Voters list; I think I posted around 21 votes but didnt see my name, but there are others listed with lower # of votes. Just curious, I'm probably...

Must be in the thousands. When I was a kid, and before I had kids,I read constantly. When the kids were small, I spent several years in childrens' literature; which was lots of fun. Dont know if I'm "well read" though. Maybe after I get through all my to-be-read books (Like that will ever...

I have a great set of hardcover cookbooks - "The Southern Heritage Cookbook" from Southern Living. Every volume is full of photos and stories from the 1700's-early 1900's related to cooking and eating, celebrations and harvests. Every time I go for a recipe, I end up reading the stories and...

I agree. I keep almost every book I buy unless I dont really enjoy it, then I usually donate it to a tiny library we have here. But its certainly better to give away a book than to throw it in the trash. I've found several books abandoned like that, including a 4Vols. of a hardcover set of Poe's...

Yard sales and library sales are my main sources of books. So far this year I've picked up these: Used: Harlow, An Intimate Biography, Yowl-Selected Poems about Cats, 13 French Science Fiction Stories, Murder at the ABA(Asimov), Eyes of the Dragon(S.King), Historic Haunted America, Frenzy(A...

If you want to start off with short stories from King, I'd recommend 'Night Shift' and the Barker's that Stewart suggested. Barker is a lot gorier than King, so it depends on what you like. I like both. If you want to try something classic I suggest Dracula by Bram Stoker. Hope you find...

This is from a Dilbert cartoon from last year. Its a conversation between an employee and the pointy-haired boss. Hope it brings a smile to you: :) Employee: I need a day off to attend my twin sister's funeral. Boss: A WHOLE day?? How well did you know her? Emp...

Was that "How to Win Friends and Influence People? Great book. I think everyone should read it. Congratulations :D to Hollis on the baby. Thats a happy thought indeed! My youngest is 14 and I still remember hearing him in there for the first time. :D What makes me happy is that winter is...

I was wondering about maybe Agatha Christie. 'The Clocks' was my favorite. :)

I hardly ever re-read. The only ones I have read again are 'The Shining' (King), 'The Great and Secret Show' (Barker), 'The Hobbit'(Tolkein) and 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' (Bradbury) which I am just about to finish. There are a few others I may re-read someday if I ever get through my 143...

My list is a mix of classic and modern horror. I dont think one type is better than the other, just different. We owe much gratitude to the early adventurers into this genre, they certainly paved the way. :) 1 Frankenstein - Mary W. Shelley 2 Dracula - Bram Stoker 3 Needful Things -...

Thanks for pointing that out. I didnt realize they were the same because I borrowed it under the title of 'The Inhuman Condition' from the library and I just recently got 'Books of Blood' Vols. 1&2 at a library sale and didn't realize that Volume 1 is the same book. Any idea why the title...

I started reading Agatha Christie when I was 12 and the Nancy Drew series was no longer challenging. I cant remember all the ones I read, but 'The Clocks' was my favorite, followed by 'Death on the Nile' & 'Ten Little Indians'. I picked these up at a recent library sale. Has anyone read them...

I try to be tolerant and openminded also, but I don't think society as a whole is tolerant of others' opinions, practices or behavior, and if I explain why, this thread will be shut down, which kind of proves my point, so I will say no more on that. What country is the most tolerant? I'd have...
