Jurassic Park and the Lost World were AWESOME... much better than the movies which were incredible.

I just finished Death of a Salesman.. short but I thought it was very good. All Quiet on the Western Front was good as well. I also REALLY liked Slaughterhouse Five. Hmm... what else? Oh yeah... Witness for the Prosecution

My wife is a huge Stephen King fan; consequently I too like some of his works. The last thing that I began to read was The Talisman.

Still I'm lucky to make it beyond a single page since my stroke (Nov. 3rd; 3 years ago). Someday I may be able to finish it.

I just read that last week. Definitely an interesting read.

The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox is a good one too.

Damn, you beat me to it.

I just did a report on that book for my english class. I'll probably get it back with some rude remarks on it and a 0.

Some programming is coming back to me after all these years so I am skipping around a little. I am about to start week 2, though. I am trying to make a simple card game I just cannot remember how to do a few minor things. I think I should start a thread and ask for a little help. What section should I do it?

I like some King. I like about 50% of the stuff of his that I've read. Firestarter is my favorite King book.

I like the Dark Tower Series. (Im from Bangor, ME where he lives. I think Im legally required to own books buy him.)
Actually his best stuff is his non horror stuff. The Green Mile. The Body, (Stand By Me). Shawshank Redemption.

Michael Crichton; pretty much all of his
Bret Easton Ellis; again pretty much all
Stephen King; Dark Tower Series, The Green Mile, and Desperation/The Regualtors
Hunter S Thompson; Fear and Loathing of course

In my youth I was a huge Hardy Boys fan.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned writers from the beat generation, esp. Kerouac.
