Buffet, thanks for picking up Headshot Quartet! Let me know what you think.

I'm currently reading an advance PDF of Quarantined, a sci-fi / horror novel by Joe McKinney, author of Dead City. I can't say much, but so far it's awesome.

The Assassination Business
Richard Belfield

A great read, should be compulsory for those who think the government is on your side.

[devourthesun]

"Haunted" by Chuck whats his name. He wrote Fight Club and I'm too lazy to track his name down.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

Chuck Palahniuk ...His name is Chuck Palahniuk...


And might I say that he is an amazing author. I have several of his books.



I'm reading Down the Road from Bowie Ibarra...So far, so good!

I just checked out Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" from my school library.

See, you knew who I meant, I was just too lazy to go find it myself. so far its a pretty good book, although I think Bret Easton Ellis has him beat on the "Unnecessarily graphic" description side of things but eh, good stuff so far.

Just finished "Quiet Strength" by Coach Tony Dungy of the Indy Colts. Pretty good read, by a good person. Does anyone here read business/motivation/slef-help???

Who is Bret Easton Ellis? What are some of his books? I may know the guy and not even realize it. I can already tell that you and I probably have a similar interest in books.

Dirk Gently was a big let down to me.. I wanted more:-(

Evil dead and Confessions are so damn great. I just couldnt get through Make Love! though.

Midnight Meat Train: Was thinking it was goign to be something different then it was. let down. If the movie sticks to the story I smell bad CG.

Reading Battlefield Earth. Didnt like it at first but its gradually getting better. about 160 pages into it (840 to go:-()

The Evil Dead Companion was a fantastic read. Highly recommended to all Evil Dead fans.

[Zombie_215]

Just started reading The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse by Robert Rankin.

[ashley]

Something definately non-zombie: The Twilight Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko.

[zmbvan]

Something definately non-zombie: The Twilight Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko.

Good book. Have you liked the movies so far?

[ashley]

Well, I've only seen Night Watch so far. I liked it a lot, but it is (not surprisingly) different than the book.

I kind of have a "thing" for Slavic culture. :)

[DentFoster]

Just finished Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way. Not as good on the second read. Still entertaning but just slightly.

Started The Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul by Douglas Adams. Second read.

[DentFoster]

I just finished The Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul. I actually like it better than Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

[beyerwrestler]

Well I just finished "Do Fish Drink Water?" by Bill Mclain. Its a very interesting book that delves into some very interesting questions asked by his fanbase. "How long would it take to vacuum the whole state of Ohio?"
it would take exactly 33,683 years! :lol:

The book Ranges from The Animal Kingdom to Religion to The Human Body:lol:

I just found this book really interesting and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn some things you may not have even thought of.

[DentFoster]

Read...

Never Bet The Devil Your Head

Three Sundays In A Week

Eleonora

By Edgar Allan Poe

[zombiekilling101]

finished battlefield earth. really good!!!

started V.

[secretcog]

I'm reading David Wongs book "John dies at the end."

It's the funniest, most addictive B-flick-ish book I've ever read and I'm terrified to finish it because what else can I read that's going to keep me involved the way Mr. Wong has?

Ummm...my next read is Scott Siglers "Infected." I picked it up today. Anyone ever heard of it?

[DentFoster]

Recently read the following, all by Poe.

The Oval Portrait
The Masque Of The Red Death
A Tale Of The Ragged Mountains
The Spectacles
The Balloon Hoax
Mesmeric Revelation
The Premature Burial

[DentFoster]

Just read Poe's The Oblong Box and The Angle Of The Odd.

I just started A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. So far it's a great read. I absolutely love his style so I'll probably be checking out some of his other books as well.

[Pain]

Ghost Walk - Brian Keene

[beyerwrestler]

A History of Western Society gotta finis an essay and questions by monday or im screwed:scare:

[ERiKDude]

Just finished Moon, by James Herbert....i think the next one i'm gonna work on will be The Dark Half, by Stephen King....or i might read The Stand again, depends what mood i'm in

[Kemper]

Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez. Pretty funny so far and it has some zombies.

[secretcog]

I just finished reading "The Rising," by Brian Keene.

He's an amazing story teller. I rank his style with the mainstream horror authors Clive Barker and Steven King. The Rising is a quasi-theological view of an undead Apocalypse. The book reaches out to fathers in such a way that my parental a-s kept running my hands throughout my hair nervously like a crackhead in a rehab! It's a must read for zombie fans everywhere!

My fiancée is picking up Mr. Keenes' sequel "City of the Dead" this evening. I can't wait-can't wait!

[kanUsurvive]

Contact Harvest By Joseph Staten

[kolchakTNS]

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore Fantastic read! Moore's style is similar to Douglas Adams with a dark twist. I loved it, and am looking forward to reading the rest of his stuff.

Coraline by Neil Gaiman Fun kids story. Think Alice In Wonderland meets Narnia. (really looking forward to the movie)

The Walking Dead Volume One Loved it!

[secretcog]

Just finished Brian Keenes The Rising:selected scenes from the end of the world [great read] and just started his Dead Sea book.

[DentFoster]

I'm reading Mr. Keenes' "City of the Dead" in my spare time. I also picked up his "Goul," and "Dead Sea."

All three are good reads!

[DentFoster]

I just read Thou Art The Man by E.A. Poe.

Just started The Stupidest Angel by Christopyer Moore. It's good so far. There's an authors warning in the beginning that reads...
If you're buying this book as a gift for your grandma or a kid, you should be aware that it contains cusswords as well as tasteful depictions of cannibalism and people in their forties having sex. Don't blame me. I told you.

This should be fun! :)

[Kemper]

I loved The Stupidest Angel, great book

[DentFoster]

[Victor Clark]

A few days ago I finished "Rainbow Boys" by Alex Sanchez. A really nice story.

[Zombob]

The Death Chamber by Sarah Rayne

Synopsis:
Calvary Gaol, standing bleak and forbidding on the Cumbrian hillside, exerts a curious hold over Georgina Gray. For her family's history is closely bound up in its dark and terrible past. It's there that her great-grandfather worked as a prison doctor in the 1930s; where his involvement in a bizarre experiment would change the course of his life forever. TV presenter Chad Ingram is fascinated by Calvary too. For he plans to conduct a new experiment in the now-disused gaol - an experiment that will take place in the brooding desolation of the old execution chamber. Chad's experiment and Georgina's curiosity will have horrifying consequences. For someone has their own reasons for suppressing the shocking truth about Calvary. Someone who will go to any lengths to ensure the past remains buried...

[secretcog]

I have just begun reading Brian Keenes' "Dead Sea." It's a true-to-form zombie novel as opposed to his prior releases of the Theo-Zed.

I just finished Christopher Moore's Bite Me, good stuff once again!

Also just finished The Walking Dead Vol. 2. So far this is a great zombie series, I'm totally sucked in.

[zmbvan]

I just started reading True Hallucinations by Terence McKenna. I am close to finishing Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, a great read about the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster.

I finished Gill's All Fright Diner then read The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born.

I'm currently reading Rant by Chuck Palahniuk.

[Trumble0]

Finished Slaughter-House 5

Now reading Torso: The Story of Eliot Ness and the Search for a Psychopathic Killer seems kind of thrown together :roll:

[klownhed]

i just finished up Chuck Palahnuik's Fight Club.. I may move on to Choke or Rant... havent decided yet.

:roll: Waiting for City of the Dead and The Rising. :drinking:

What do you mean waiting for them???

You haven't read them yet?!?!?!

I thought you were a big time reader? And a Zed fan? Why weren't these classics taken care of long ago?!


well regardless all I have to say is these books are going to change everything for you.:evil:

You haven't read a good page turner yet.

[DentFoster]

I just finished Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. It was somewhat difficult to get started because of the format but overall the payoff was worth it. The think I love about Palahniuk is the way he slowly seperates you from your everyday brainwashing and before you even realize it you have a whole new perspective of society.

Currently reading The Walking Dead volume 3 and Mister B. Gone by Clive Barker.

"Bagdad at Sunrise, a Brigade Commander's War in Irag" by
Peter R. Mansoor, and,

De Steuben by Paul Lockhart.

Nothing scary or creepy, I know, but I LOVE my U.S. military history.

The Last Chancers By Gav Thorpe

[Necrowerx]

I'm reading "Zombie CSU" by Jonathan Maberry.

[Corpse Grinder]

just finished:

STARSHIP TROOPERS - Robert A. Heinlein

[DentFoster]

I just finished Christopher Moores Practical Demonkeeping and Marvel Zombies 2.

I'm starting Marvel Zombies vs. Army Of Darkness and re-reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk.

[Zombreach]

Death Lands: Gemini Rising by James Axler.

[zombie surfer]

The Official Splatter Movie Guide by John McCarty.

[DentFoster]

I finished Marvel Zombies vs. Army Of Darkness and Choke and I just started a re-read of Palahniuk's Lullaby.

[Zombie_215]

Vampire Zero: David Wellington

[DentFoster]

Finished Palahniuk's Lullaby and started In The Company Of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez.

[DentFoster]

Finished In The Company Of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez, last week. Pretty good!

Since then I read The Walking Dead volume 4 and started a re-read of Diary by Palahniuk. I'll probably put this on hold because I just got an email to tell me that Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore is waiting for me at the library.

[secretcog]

The Living Dead by John Joseph Adams is a compilation of zombie fictions. It covers multiple undead genres from the vodoo zombie, to the brain eating Romero zombies. A must read for zed heads. However...it fails to emit that creepy vibe you can only get from underground horror writers. Nonetheless, read it!

I read it, and I love it!

[Zombie_215]

The Protector's War: S.M. Stirling

[Victor Clark]

I've been reading a lot of Manga lately, and right now I've been going through the Sgt. Frog series they have at school. It's pretty damn funny!

[DentFoster]

I just finished Island Of The Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore. Good read!

I just started Founding Fathers, Secret Societies: Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and the Decoding of the Great Seal by Robert Hieronimus.

Just finished "Keep Chewing Till It Stops Kicking". Funny read!

They aren't the zeds we know and loathe, but zombies all the same! :drinking:

[TheDeadHarlequinQueen]

Well, I'm rereading New Moon. I can't wait to move on to Eclipse. The books are absolutely incredible!

[RIP]

Fangoria: 101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen by Adam Lukeman

[zmbvan]

I started reading WWZ again. I think it is better the second time around

[DentFoster]

Recently read Afro Samurai volume one, issues 1-5, The Walking Dead volume 7 and I'm about half way through Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk.

[AtlasUndead]

I just finished the walking dead Vol 2 and went straight to amazon and bought 3 & 4. I expect greatness.

[DentFoster]

I recently finished Snuff by Palahniuk. It was OK, I prefer his early stuff.

I'm now reading Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

I'm reading Drop Dead Gorgeous by Wayne Simmons....A fellow ATZer :clap:


I'm surprised not more of us are reading this piece. Is there anyone else reading it? I can't be the only one!:doh:


Hey Dent have you read The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore? It's apparently zombies at Christmas.....I bought it last year and never got a chance to read it.

[C J]

I finished Marvel Zombies vs. Army Of Darkness and Choke and I just started a re-read of Palahniuk's Lullaby.

Choke? Was this was adapted to a movie? I know one of his books was made into a movie recently but, didn't do so well. Also I hear, Invisible Monsters is in the making aswell.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

Yes Choke was recently made into a movie....The sad part is it never came to any of the theaters in my area....:cry: I remember I finished reading it the day the movie came out...Just in time to see it, and it never came.....

[Cyber Bishop]

Jurassic Park... Again

[Victor Clark]

I just finished reading the second issue of the manga "Psychic Academy". It isn't one of my favorite mangas, but it's still pretty good.

[DentFoster]

I recently finished Christopher Moore's Coyote Blue. It was good, but my least favorite of his books. Also finished my re-read of Palahniuk's Diary and just started The Illuminatus Trilogy.

[DarthJoe8]

[Zombie_215]

The Gunslinger: Stephen King

[john154]

"The Encyclopedia of Naval Warfare"

Russians build ugly ass ships and for all their artistic merit the japanese have no originality. Good thing we've got the French cause they're allways doin their own really abstract yet very interesting thing.

[EvilWeasel35]

I'm re-reading Weaveworld by Clive Barker. It's even better than I remember it. What a classic!

[C J]

Yes Choke was recently made into a movie....The sad part is it never came to any of the theaters in my area....:cry: I remember I finished reading it the day the movie came out...Just in time to see it, and it never came.....

What did you think of Choke? The DVD release is Feb. 17. Maybe if I pick up a copy I can read it before then.


Other than that, I finished Monster Nation by, D. Wellington. Now, I am reading the Witch of Portobello by, Paulo Coelho.

[kanUsurvive]

I'm about 5 mins away from continuing the Autumn series with Autumn: The City.

[Victor Clark]

I finished the Stephen King story "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon", which was really well done. I just hope they don't try to make it into some mediocre movie like a lot of King's other stories.

[RIP]

I got a book in the mail the other day that I bought on amazon.com:

Horror Films of the 1980's - by John Kenneth Muir and it's a great read so far and is like 850 pages long lol.:lol::drinking:

[44hogleg]

For pleasure I am currently reading Shackleton's Way by Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell. Since I'm college student studying geology, I have reading to do for that too.

A fair chunk of the way through
Rant: an oral history of Buster Casey By Chuck Palahniuk.
To the person next to post.....
are you wearing green socks?

[DarthJoe8]

To the person next to post.....
are you wearing green socks?

Why no, no I'm not wearing green socks...I don't even own green socks...:think:

Just finished up the Dead Walk Diaries...:guns:

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

wow I wish I was the next person to post because there would have been a very very good chance that I was in fact wearing green socks that day...I actually own 2 pairs of green socks and have worn them both quite frequently in the past few weeks.


But anyways I have finally gotten around to reading Blood Crazy....It's been sitting on my shelf for far too long...So I picked it up the other day and started reading.. I should be finished with it in a couple hours.




Hey you reading Rant!!!!!!

Do you like it? I bought it when it first came out and never read it. I'm a fan of Chuck and all but just never got around to it.




Oh and Joe, I hope the next book you start is Hater......It better be.....Also, be patient with me. I'm going to take a little break from the zombie genre for a few books and catch up on some regular horror that I have been very much neglecting...I have some Laymon and other Keene books that are in dire need of love and attention. But don't panic!!!!! I have a zed line up ready and waiting for me when I return to them.:drinking:

[dkZ]

Reading Concerning the spiritual in art by Kandinsky.
The next reading will probably be Zombie Survival Guide (again).

[DarthJoe8]

The Undead: Zombie Anthology :eat:

[Victor Clark]

I've been reading the manga High School of the Dead. It's pretty much self-explanatory just from the title.

[DentFoster]

I recently re-read Watchmen, I just finished The Illuminatus! Trilogy and I'm now starting The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu.

[zombiekilling101]

recently finished up The World at the End of Time by Fredrick Pohl. Pretty good. Read most of his fiction now..

[Zombie_215]

All The Rage: F. Paul Wilson

[DeAdLY SiNZz]

Just finished reading Princep's Fury by Jim Butcher,5 of 6 in the Alera Codex series, book 6 come out dec 09. great series though pick it up sometime and have a look see, but right this moment i'm reading Killzone: a Sniper Novel by Sgt. Jack Coughlin, amazing so far.

[ZombieGore]

Im trying to finish up World War Z but cant find the time. After that im gonna start on Snuff by Chuch Palahniuk. He is my favorite author of all time:clap:. Ive read all of his other books, if you havent then you should.

[NotoriousDIT]

bad habit of reading a lot of books at the same time. last two books I finished were On the Road and The Dharma Bums (both by Jack Kerouac). here's what I'm working on now:

Women (Charles Bukowski)
Failed States (Noam Chomsky)
1984 (George Orwell)
Catch-22 (Joseph Heller)
The Inferno (Dante)
Slaughter-House Five (Kurt Vonnegut)

that's some of them anyway...

[DentFoster]

I just finished The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu (good read) and started Christopher Moore's Fool.

[The Voice Of Desperation]

I finished reading "World War Z" a few weeks ago. It was turned out to be a real page turner. What was so interesting was the "human-factor" of the various stories.

[Interdeadical]

I'm trying to convince myself to start reading S.D. Perry's Resident Evil books again, might start on Zero tonight actually...

[RIP]

I got 1 book in the mail today:

I'm reading unhappy endings by brian Keene. I'm also trying to finish up the traveling vampire show by laymon. I'm just having a hard time getting into it. But I just know the end is going to be awesome!:evil:

[NotoriousDIT]

nah, I had to choose between checking out Slapstick or Galapogos, I went with the former. I'll get the latter next week.

[DeAdLY SiNZz]

Dark Haven by Gail Z. Martin

[NotoriousDIT]

so while dumpster diving (UP THE PUNX!!!), I found biographies on Gandhi, Louis Armstrong, and Susan B. Anthony (all great people). I also found a novel, and some other book, but I can't remember the names. The dullest of my finds seems to be the one on Gandhi, incidentally.

[DentFoster]

I finished Christopher Moore's Fool the other day. As expected, a great read!

I just started Lobotomy by Dee Dee Ramone.

[DeAdLY SiNZz]

[J Dub]

Lymans reloading manual, 49th edition :drool:

[Groth]

Neuromancer - William Gibson
Count Zero - William Gibson

Some cyberpunk stuff :D

[DentFoster]

I just finished a re-read of Kings Cell. Enjoyed even more the 2nd time.
I also read Weird Tales of the Ramones.

I just started a re-read of Dan Brown's Angels & Demons. I really enjoyed it and it's just as good this time around but I'm not really into it so if something else comes my way I'll probably aside it and finish it later.

[Fawkes]

Just about finished Not Dead Enough - Peter James (Great series imo)

[C J]

Right now, I'm reading Che Guevara and others. When I finish this I want to read some true crime. I have a flavour for some Russian Gangsterism. Can anyone recommend anything?

[DentFoster]

I just finished Angels & Demons, 2nd read. Not as impressed as much this time.

I just started Kung Fu: History, Philosophy, and Technique.

[DarthJoe8]

Down the Road On the Last Day :drinking:

[Zombie Dad]

Breathers: A Zombie's Lament by S.E. Brown (I think that is the author's name.)

I am almost finished with it. I haven't read many dark humor zombie books, but this is worth reading.

[Zombie Trance]

If I'm a big fan of World War Z and Zombie Survival guide what should my next book be? Can anything else compare? I'm really not looking for anything comedic though, although I did like Survival Guide. I want to read another similar to World War.

Check out the comics and book section for info on all sorts of great stuff to read.

Off the top of my head I would recommend Eden....one of the first zed books I've read...most excellent. :drinking:

Look into David Wellington. I like him a lot.

I'm currently reading The Road to Madness by HP Lovecraft.

men kampf by adolf hitler

[Zombreach]

men kampf by adolf hitler

I read part of that book. It was very dry. I think I managed to read about 100 pages or so. I ended up selling it on e-bay. Made more for it than I had originally paid!

[Zombreach]

I am almost finished with "Dark Hollow" by Brian Keene. Not great, but pretty good.

[zombiekilling101]
