I've gotta say the book that really do that is John Dies At The End). It has only just began pre-ordering for the actual book but an online copy can be found here. Also, first post in like 6 months. Might have to start posting here occasionally if I can find the time. I'm freaking losing it and figure at least here I'm no more insane than anyone else.

I just realised some of the terrible english in my post when I read that quote. Anyway, I was really absorbed into it all, I really love David Wongs writting. Does "Eeek" and "Ewww" mean you didnt like it at all or just got squeamish during it?

I haven't read any good fiction in a long time. Or, well, I have, but it's been so long when I last went "WOW!" that I can't even remember that occasion. Truly imaginative literature is starting to be hard to find. -------------------- Life is a neverending carneval where everyone has multiple costumes. I just hope mine are pleasing to the eye.

I don't remember the title of the last book I read. I do remember that it was you nicothodes that let me borrow it. You remember the one about Skeeve the magician and Ahhz the pervect. That was a really good book and I thank you for letting me borrow it. ------------------------------------------------- Duct tape is all powerful and will one day rule the world. ------------------------------------------------- Posts: 11 | Registered: Saturday, July 7 2007 07:00 |

Now that I think of it, there were some really influential books in my life. They were Episode 1: Attack of the Noobs, Episode 2: Return of the Spiderwebbers, and Episode 3: A New Game, all by a Dikiyoba. I really suggest you read these life changing texts now. -------------------- i dont ned noo steenking signachur. Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

I was obviously joking. I thought that the "life changing text" bit would tip everyone off. Apparently not. -------------------- i dont ned noo steenking signachur. Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

quote:Haha yea it is good. Have you (and for that matter anyone else who has read it[which I strongly suggest you do]) read the second one? It was still really funny with John antics but it was about 1/4 the length. Still, it's definitely something you should read if you enjoyed the first.

"The Simplest Path" - I think some will find it to be a Wow. "The Truth About Muhammad" - Who doesn't like to debunk major world religions. And for something on the lighter side - "The Wind Up Bird Chronicles" - A vivid self-absorbed trip. By the way, I noticed Iffy is "Canned." Does it mean what I think? I'll let you guess what I think. -------------------- You are asleep. Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be. So it goes.

The "Khai of Khem". Incredibly gory. Wonderful book. It's probably at the library. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |
