Good Books
    #10365092 -

Im looking for some exciting books that break the ideas of conventional fiction. I think the whole middle earth dark lord fantasy world is kind of tired and im looking for books like the Dark tower by steven king.

It has a set genre but kind of goes off into weird ass things. if that makes sense.

the dark series was an adventure alright.

that shit had me hooked since the first fucking line.






and as the books slowed down the end sent a ripple straight through my body.






i think Oryx and Crake was my favorite book ever written.
you should check it out.

http://www.amazon.com/Oryx-Crake-Margaret-Atwood/dp/0385721676/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242776559&sr=8-1

Necroscope series by Brian Lumley.

Tales of alien vampires, other worlds ruled by vampires, and an protagonist that can talk with the dead.  The vampires are monsters as they were suppose to be, not that "A" sexual Anne Rice bull shit either.

I enjoyed the Gunslinger series immensely, but I think that the Necroscope series is better just my opinion though.  Bria Lumley is a great writer.

Not bad.. if you like Thompson you should check out Hells Angels... another one of his books...


My favorite author would be Bukowski..  Dirty Old Man, Women, Hollywood

Burroughs is good too:  Naked Lunch, Electric Revolution,

and then
Augusten Borroughs (spelled alitle diffferently)... Dry, Sellevision,


Stumbling on Happiness, Freakonomics, The Gray Swan,

all fantastic books...

Williams Blake tooo... ahhh I could go on..

I have some of the comics with R Crumb illustrations and Bukowski's writing/.... they are groovy but hard to find (kinda)
