The Great Hullabaloo: BOOKS.

[zanie]

one thing i miss about being in the U.S. books,comics,video games and EVERYTHING you could get wayy cheaper than here.
i'm low on graphic novels....nooooooooo!!!!!!!

I keep hearing good stuff about it. I'll probably pull the trigger on it soon once I'm done with all this other shit.

Mix a kinda Italian Renaissance setting in fantasy world, and Ocean's 11.

It's my favorite book of the genre with the Malazan books. I've pimped to to death.


And Howard, Lynch had a depression. I'd rather have him deal with it than him dying! And the books are stand alone as well, so there's that.

[Howard]

I've read it. *Still* waiting for the third book.

Rob (or anyone), ever read The Lies of Locke Lamora?

[Abraham Smashington]

Just finished it. Not his worst (Castaways would be his worst. I still haven't finished that) and certainly not his best. The only redeeming factor in this book is the expansion on the Labyrinth and the way it ends.

  Spoiler: spoilers 

Levi taking the Revenants to Behemoth's world was pretty fucking great. Everything about the Labyrinth's other worlds was pretty awesome as well

Otherwise this whole book felt like a cool idea (expanding and fleshing out how the books are linked together) that was stretched to a novel. None of the characters did anything for me, minus Levi (and only because of his involvement in both Dark Hollow and Ghost Walk).

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, it's like his Dark Tower or whatever. It's slowly coming together. It was mentioned in a few of his books, but it seems to be more in the latest. Ghoul wasn't horrible, but it seemed more of a "I REALLY WANT TO BE STEPHEN KING" then a good read.

[Martin]

Waitaminute. I've lost track of Keene a bit. I have The Rising and it's sequel, and Conqueror Worm. Loved it, but Ghoul was baaaad.

What's with Labyrinth? Is that his project of linking all his books?

[Abraham Smashington]

currently reading Brian Keene's newest: A Gathering of Crows

Not too shabby. Certainly not his best, at least yet, but I'm digging that he brought back Levi Stolfhous and I really dig what he's doing with "The Labyrinth" right now. Like his other books it's a pretty quick read.

[BillyG]

Fables is the shit.

Ashamedly, never read Kavalier & Clay. Picked it up yesterday on a whim. I AM NOT DISAPPOINT

Kavalier and Clay is very good.

[Ed Hocken]

Oh yeah, you could smell that book a mile away.

At some point there was talk of David Fincher doing a movie version of this. There's no way in hell that would happen.

[Abraham Smashington]

Black Hole was fucking awesome.

Some of the coolest inks I've ever seen. And it gets darker, buddy. So strap in for heinous shit.

The inks are why I blind bought it actually. Shit looked amazing. Good to know it keeps up with it's fuckedupness.

[Captain Russ]

Black Hole was fucking awesome.

[Ed Hocken]

Ah yes, Black Hole. That talking neck thingie was freaky. And when the chick made-out with it was HORRIFYING!

I've been reading The Rebellion of Ronald Reagan by James Mann. This is a book that details the actual end of the Soviet Union during Reagan's last years.

It's quite amazing how much shit he caught by his base for what he was trying to do.

[Abraham Smashington]

Reading a graphic novel called "Black Hole" right now. Some pretty fucked up shit actually. Like really fucked up.
