    War Fiction

    The Guns of Navarone, by Alistair Maclean. Pretty much all of his stuff is war related.

    Splintered Icon & Shattered Icon

    These two books by Bill Napier seem very similar, are they in fact the same book with different titles? Or is one a sequel? I enjoyed his 'The Lure' and this seems to be similar to DaVinci Code, so I though I'd give it a try. But which one to read...????

    Whats better - Magician or Sword of Shannara?

    Which book do you love more, Raymond Fiest's Magician or Terry Brooks Sword of Shannara? (or perhaps the question should be which do you hate least?) I personally prefer Sword..I never finished reading Magician but I want to re-read it one day. Simon

    Michael Ende: The Neverending Story

    I always thought is was ironic that the author's name was Ende...maybe that's just me over-analysing. I never read the book but did quite like the film (and the song).

    Really - and I mean truly - scary Books

    I would reccommend two books, both made into films with varying success: The Ammityville Horror - Jay Anson The Entity - Frank DeFelitta both books are kind of creeping, especially The Entity.

    is harry harrison any good ?

    I just finished reading the fist two Eden books, they're fantastic. The last book a bit hard to get hold of though. I think they would make great movies, they are quite visual. I read the Stainless Steel Rat books when I was a teen and loved them too, I think A stainless Steel Rat is Born...

    War Of The Worlds

    Saw it last night and it was awesome. Even Tom cruise was not too bad. The Tripods were mindblowing! That foghorn thing they have makes the teeth rattle.

    Reading in June - Fantasy/Sci-Fi

    Just finished reading The Scar by China Meivile, which I didn't enjoy as much as Perdido Street Station, and also a Max Barry's Jennifer Government, in which provides a scary look at the near future where corporations declare actual war on each other.

    Teenager looking something to read.

    Angels & Demons, also by Dan Brown, is much better than DaVinci Code.

    Stand By Me. The ending was very sad considering what happened to River.

    DaVinci Code? Nah, just kidding. I'd say Animal Farm.
