-zodiac
-ed gein: pyscho
-zombie survival guide
-divinchi's code
-don quijote dedication part 2
-manson: in his own words
-helter skelter
if you noticed a pattern, all books i want to read have to do with murders/murderers/physco's which brings up the question when a zombie kills some1 is it murder?
I would hazard a guess at no, it's not murder. The definition of murder is premeditated killing of a human being by another human being.
Do zombies premeditate? Wouldn't have thought so.
Are they human beings? Not any more.
Shit, this is a whole new thread!
Anyway hope to start reading Battle Royale soon.

Hey Hitman...about those Gein books. I haven't read Ed Gein-Psycho! but I heard it's bad. I have read Deviant though, and I'd have to say it's probably the best of the Gein books. There's also another that you should look into called Edward Gein: America's Most Bizarre Murderer. I believe it might be the first book out about Gein, also, it's written by the judge who tried him. That being said, it's a little biased (obviously) but it's also packed with details and interesting information.
Here's an amazon link, if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1558171878/qid=1110601508/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-9065960-6310533?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1558171878/qid=1110601508/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-9065960-6310533?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

It's right on par on with The rising if not better, and the ending of this one is beautiful. Great great book. So sad I finished it.
Reading The dead shall inherit the earth. I had high expectations for this, but so far its letting me down, its kinda a slow read. out of 180 so pages im on page 80 (so the text is cramped together and i hate it:x )

I'm actually finally reading the "Zombie Survival Guide".. no time to REALLY read it, but I'm doing it in pieces.
It's not nearly as bad as I'd thought it'd be, and although there's some areas that he covers where he's only got a rudimentary understanding of stuff, it's still palatable. I don't agree with some of his conclusions in areas like that where he doesn't seem to really know part of the subject matter, but at least it prompts me to form my own conclusion on stuff that I may not have previously considered.
It's one of those things where I go: "damn.. if only he'd asked me about that before printing it.." but of course, that's nonsense. :)
Good read so far though, even my non-zombie-loving wife has been peeking in it and getting a good laugh from time to time.
I'd recommend it.

I bought and read Down the Road in one day. It is set during first days of the outbreak in Texas. We the reader follow George the main character from where he teaches to his family home. I think that book was well done and an accomplishment. I also think that intro was great. I love when George sees the wrecked blood covered car and he looks in for suppies. The action was well written paced correctly. My only issue is that I did not feel the connection between George and Esparanza. I think George/ Esparanza/ Alphonzo subplot did not connect well with the main plot. Overal it was a good read 7.5-8/10

I just got done reading Nickel and Dimed on (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich. Finding a place to live outside of my parents place on a wage slave pay is driving me crazy it's depressing and nice in a way to see I'm not the only one having this problem. I thank my lucky stars that my parents are kind enuff to put up with me still living with them. I really need to tell them more often that I love them. It has also reinforced that I need to go back to college and get a better job. Now I'm reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy befor the movie comes out and to cheer me up.

I just read "The Dead Shall Inherit the Earth" and The Preserve" that were on the list of zombie books.
"The Dead Shall Inherit the Earth" was a pretty good SciFi read but the zombies are only present in the last 80 pages. I wouldn't call it a zombie or horror book.
"The Preserve" should not be called a zombie book at all. They were only present for 6-10 pages. It is an action/war book not a horror. But none the less, it was a excellent read.

Currently re-reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, "Otherland: City of the Golden Shadow" by Tad Williams.
I read until the eigth book in Jordan's Wheel of Time series but it became stagnent and took forever for the plot to move. I started the ninth but just gave up after that. I think Terry Goodkind's series is less indepth but the plot moves better.
Also, William's Otherland series was good but the last book was a bit of a let down.
I just read a book called The Steel Breakfast Era by Carlton Mellick III. It was the worst book, I think I have ever read. It was sci-fi, zombie, acid trip. Never read this novella

It's okay, Pain. Pretty interesting. The original copyright is 1944, that you have to sort of take that into account. :) Surprisingly some of the best books on the folk magic of the african diaspora (Vodoun, Ocha etc.) were written in the first half of the twentieth century, as most of them were anthropological studies and sought an insight into the historical and cultural aspects rather than concentrating on the sensationalism (possessions, animal sacrifice etc.)

I like to read a lot of non-fiction, mainly psychology, history, occult, film, and true crime and forensics books. I do have some fiction (a lot of Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, William S. Burroughs, mythology, fairy tales, and a few classic novels) just for some strange reason, I'm more partial to non-fiction reads. The type of magazines I like to read: Time, Newsweek, Shock Cinema, Psychotronic, old Fangoria, and Massage (I am a non-practicing massage therapist). I finally finished Devil's Knot: The True Story Of The West Memphis Three last night.
What I'm currenty reading, thanks to a dear friend who is sharing his love of reading with me, is Post Office by Charles Bukowski, The Nation (a political left wing magazine), Asian Cult Cinema magazine, and a few old Fangoria (from the 80s).

Currently reading and researching for my paper on evolutionary thought in the Victorian era:
Apes, Angels, & Victorians by William Irvine
Human Origins by S. Laing (an old edition published in 1892 complete with the original owner's scribbled notes!)
Adrian Desmond's bio of T.H. Huxley aptly titled Huxley
....and several bios on Darwin
Also, in my free time, I'm reading Eco's latest The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana.....and a stack of comic book trades; I'm always 4 or 5 behind.

I am completing Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1. I already read Volume two. I read it first because i wanted to read about Artaxerxes and Eumenes as they are figures i wanted to learn more about. And Volume 1 delves far too much into the mythical (biographies on Theseus and Romulus) but i must say Plutarch handles them well.
I have a theory of mine that all "heroes" and demi gods of the ancients were real people who's stories and lives being told and retold eventually exaggerated them into gods/heroes. Alexander, had the greeks and macedonians not waned after his death, would have most likely been called a "hero" or a "god" had we not more historical knowledge of him. Most "heroes" be they hercules, or gilgamesh started the way alexander did.

Just Another Day by Shirley Jackson
A collection of unpublished and uncollected short stories, discovered in a box in a Vermont barn years after her death, compiled and finally published by two of her children.
Some of the stories seem like rough sketches, but make for great reading anyway. Just finished The Honeymoon of Mrs. Smith, which is presented in two versions, so it's really great to see what the more sketchy type of story evolved into. Not that the story changes so much, but the changes that were made show the writing process as only the writer and editor would normally see it. Very cool...and a very creepy story.

Started on I Am Legend and had a very hard time putting it down last night. Skipped watching Ring Two as well as Blue Vinyl and just kept reading til my eyelids felt like lead weights.
Did I mention I'm liking I Am Legend? :)
That good eh, might have to order myself this little baby. I've been reading Far Side Of The Mountain

You'll pick it up at a fairly reasonable price from Waterstones, Sexual... It's a great tale of claustraphobia, isolation, good oral hygene and home economics! :)

yeah, the oral hygiene, and general health issues is a presence that was sorta skipped over in the movies. the classical music is such a strong presence too. but hey, we're pitchin the book to sexual here! shouldn't we mention the sexual aspects that are pretty much absent from teh movie too!?
definitely pick up the book!

My favourite book of all time Day of the Triffids.
I am having to read Lord of the Flies for school. Read it when I was twelve. Yawn.
I might proceed to Catch 22, or back to some of the books my brother likes, like the Dune series or Silence of the Lambs(the sadistic boy).

Finished I Am Legend. F**king fantastic story.
Still think I might prefer the direction the Vincent Price movie went towards the end. It adds another level of complexity. I hope maybe the movie will bring some of that into the story while still sticking very much to the book.

'Trust' by the wonderfully talented Mr Dave Moody :)
So far, and I devoured about 30 pages of it last night, we're talking 'Close Encounters of the third kind' ... but I'm expecting a twist... all seems too strightforward at the moment.
Compelling as ever... :)

I'm reading 'Ring' by Koji Suzuki.... Excellent! The story's different enough from any of the films to hold your attention well even if you've seen them all.... Can't get enough of this stuff! :clap:

Sure, brother. It's...
The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Purgatorio . Or just titled "Dante's Inferno" now'a' days.
Awsome read! A very cool travel into all the realms and reigions of hell and it's princes... Including of course you know who.
