    Who is your favorite fictional character and why?

    Roland Deschain from Stephen King's Dark Tower Series Roland is the most tragic I have ever read. But yet also the most relentless. No matter what obstacles are laid in his path or what horrors befall him he continues on. He has an unquestioning since of justice. If something is right then he...

    Scariest Book Ever?

    In terms of an actual horror, scary novel I would have to say it is a toss-up between Pet Semetary and The Shining by Stephen King. Although I would give Gerald's Game an honorable mention, it is not a particularly great book, but it has a very good scary moment. But the book I actually found...

    Are you a re-reader?

    I love to re-read books. The instant I finish a really great book I start missing the characters. In the case of a few books I just can't resist joining them again. I have read Stephen King's Dark Tower series six or seven times, I lost count. I have re-read the Harry Potter books about four...

    could some one please explain the ending of chuck Palahniuk's "Survivor" to me?

    Well, no one has to offer you any theories here is the explanation direct from Chuck on chuckpalahniuk.net: The end of Survivor isn't nearly so complicated. It's noted on page 7(8?) that a pile of valuable offerings has been left in the front of the passenger cabin. This pile includes a...

    Chuck Palahniuk

    I almost by accident last friday picked up Lullaby. Fight Club is one of my favorite movies so I decided I would read it, it sounded strange and interesting. In the last week I have read Lullaby and Survivor. I don't know if I have ever been as blown away by a writer as I am with Palahniuk. I am...

    Books you didn't finish

    Imajica by Clive Barker I tried twice to read Imajica by Clive Barker. Damn that book was boring and in the first two hundred pages I couldn't find one character I liked, identified with, or understood. I haven't read a Clive Barker book since then.

    Dean Koontz: The Taking

    I absolutely loved this book. It was not my first Koontz book or probably my favorite, I think that honor would have to got to phantoms, but I thought The Taking was extremely cool. Every horror writer has to do their mandatory end of the world book and this was Koontz's, it was excellent. I am...

    Top 10 Characters

    I have two complaints about the list. First, I feel like an idiot because I have no idea who that is you have at number 1. Maybe a great character, but not nearly universal enough to be number 1. Vader would have made more sense there or maybe Gandalf. I would have put Roland Deschain in the...

    Top 5 horror writers

    1. Stephen King - for best scares stick to the older stuff but his newest Cell had its moments. recommend: It and Pet Semetary 2. Dean Koontz - As far as horror goes his books are hit or miss. Some like The Taking and Phantoms are great scares others like Hideaway come off as cheesy...

    Worst Stephen King Novels

    I am a huge King fan and truly like everything I have ever read by him. I am in the rare minority that in fact likes his newer books as much and sometime more than his older books. But if you put a gun to my head I would have to say Dreamcatcher was my least favorite, but it still had some very...

    Stephen King: Dark Tower Series

    I completely agree. I can't say it is how I would have wanted it to end, but it fits, it makes sense. And when you really think about it, it is the only way it could have ended. Of course as King himself says while trying to beg the reader not to read the ending. It is not in the...

    C.S. Lewis

    I actually do not like The Chronicles of Narnia, they are fine for a child, but not much interesting for an adult. There are too many details and background left out for my taste. But I did love The Screwtape Letters. I thought it was hilarious.

    Stephen King: Dark Tower Series

    I liked Wolves of the Calla better than Song of Susannah, but I liked The Dark Tower VII better than the other two. But this is my favorite series ever. My favorite book was Wizard and Glass, but The Wastelands would be a close second. I am right now reading the series for the fourth time...

    Where to start with Stephen King?

    My start was with The Gunslinger, but I would probably not recommend that you jump right into Stephen King's Magnum Opus that is the The Dark Tower series. I would say if you are a real horror fan you should start with either It or Pet Semetary. Otherwise I would start with The Stand or...

    Stephen King: Cell

    I guess I am in the minority here. I really enjoyed the book. It started out in that fast paced style that King does so well, but then came the trademark lull afterwards, where nothing much happens for a while, but this lull wasn't as bad as some. I do think the characters, which is usually SK's...
