You are now part of the problem.

Do you think Reznor's gonna sue me for that one?

I'm feeling a need to add, ironically, I'm not the crazy one.(winky)

Recently bought the rest of the Twilight series. On book two now, and I have to say the whole, "His voice that brought me to heaven" and "His eyes that drowned me blah, blah, blah" is getting annoying.

I think I'm going to start The Host for now and there's any of this romance s. Stephenie, I'm done.

recently read William Shatner's autobiography, "Up till now" which was very entertaining.
Currently reading Stephen King's "Cell". I've never read King before but it's a great page-turner of a book I must say.

Aha! Stephen King is the King of the page turners :D

Once you get to know him, you also get to know some of his "hooks" - I find myself smiling when I read one now and almost saying "Ah, c'mon, Stephen, I know what you're up to..." but that doesn't stop me turning the pages for all that.

Yes but Cell is decidely average compared to his earlier work. I'd recommend you try The Shining, Misery or It next to see what he was like at the peak of his powers.

I'm gonna read Misery just because I haven't heard anything about it; I think It is about a clown!

National Geographic's "Ancient Iran"

Misery and It are two of my fave Stephen Kings. My #1 is still The Stand though. Amazing journey that book takes you through. :)

Actually, I though Cell was kind of a The Stand rip off which tells you how far Kings fallen when he has to start plagiarising his own books for ideas. I was going to recommend The Stand in my choices above but I feel it's a bit too long and could have done with some better editing, although I do own the unabridged version so that might be a bit of an unfair comment.

And for anyone else unfamiliar with his work if you fancy something different I recommend you also check out King when he's on a bit of a fantasy/science fiction tip by reading the wonderful Eyes of the Dragon and also the Dark Tower series

Picked up the following a few weeks ago, finally getting around to it now.

Green Shadows, White Whale - Ray Bradbury

It's a novel about Bradbury's experience working on the adaptation of John Huston's film of Moby Dick in Ireland.
