Ive read American Phyco - Brett Easton Ellis quality book, Ive also just finished The Bone Collecter and now im onto Coffin Dancer by Jeffery Deaver
finally finished it today if i can be bothered might try either finishing off 1984 or re reading chris jericho's book i think
lol, at all the Orwell love, 1984 is a school book. Not a bad read, but there are plenty of better anti-utopians out there. I liked We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, quality book, but has been quite a few years since I read it. Am reading The Wheel of Time atm, not a bad read, I don't think it is as slow as people say, I think it is quite full. It can be a hard read, not the sort of books you can sit and not put down but definitely quality reads.
We bored the shit out of me. Had to read it in literature though which probably skewed my opinion of it. I quite enjoyed Down and Out in Paris and London by Orwell too. One of the sections from it is pretty much copied word for word in Goldstein's book in 1984.
Orwell's best work was in his first person account type reads. Road to Wigan Pier and others have some of the most intriguing descriptions of things so ordinary and, well normal yet horrible, at the time.
Will be buying the book which is a sort of prequel to the Dead Space game series in about a week I think it comes out. Its about the discovery of the first marker and the creation of unitology, for anyone that knows anything about Dead Space
Just finished Metro 2033 Thought it was pretty gun tbh, although I rekon someones rushed the English translation because while I was reading I found mistakes dotted around more so than when I read a book initially wrote in English
Just got a book called 'Welcome To Hell' by a bloke called Colin Martin. He spent eight years banged up in the Bangkok Hilton for a murder and as usual he got the good old Thai treatment (unfair trial, police brutality, bribes etc)......then the real shit starts when he gets banged up. It's a really good book and some parts of it are pretty brutal. Just waiting for the 'Ice Man' to turn up now, which I just bought from Ebay, and a few people talked about earlier in this thread.
Just finished Richard Dawkins' newest and last ever book. About to start on one of Stephen King's Dark Tower books.
