The Picture of Dorian Gray- Oscar Wilde

No I haven't, but I'm sort of on a Vonnegut binge right now so I'll be sure to get to it. I just finished Amageddon In Retrospect; pretty good but as far as his collections of short stories go, I prefer Bagombo Snuff Box.

are you kidding me? one of my all time favorites,.....

i love the relationship between the parents,....
and the imaginary world of the brother,....
and when he goes to live in the cabin,.....and finds the body,....

and that ol fish swimming in the parking lot

you should re read it,....and then read the brothers k,......

I absolutely love The Shining and Salem's Lot, also Misery, Carrie, Dead Zone and Geralds Game.

I repeat, how does it not flow?

They certainly serve their purpose, scaring the **** out of me. Love Stephen King. Now let's think... he writes scary books obviously they will be (ok some of them) melodramatic. If you want real horror go read Helter Skelter or something.

Anywaaaay I finished Lost Boy the other day cand can't choose between Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov or Siouxsie and the Banshees biography HA.

re horror - he's been brought up a couple of times already but HP Lovecraft is mental, mostly short stories so you can read one a night before bed.
Salem's Lot is a classic, how can you fail to get the chills?

I ordered this yesterday. it's probably going to deflate the mystique surrounding one of my idols, still

I just wish it would hurry up & come out.

It's been delayed for something like 2 years.

Yeah, I love Doestevsky. Crime and Punishment is one of my favorites, but haven't yet gotten up the nerve to take The Brothers Karamazov. I have a genuine fear of commitment with novels of that thickness.

It REALLY makes pooping more interesting

'the idiot' is, for want of a better word, sick

Is that good sick or bad sick.
