What are your favorite books?? This can include magazines and comic books, etc.--My favorite books are: "Rose Madder" By Stephen King, "A Time to Kill" by John Grisham, "Public Secrets" By Nora Roberts, The Gospel of Filth, "The Color Purple" By Alice Walker and the Bible for starters...=-]

Not in order at all: "Gerusalemme Liberata" by Torqato Tasso, "Faust" by Goethe, of course, "Carrie" by Stephen King, which was a really fucked up read, all the history textbooks I ever owned, and anything by that trashy, filthy, bottom rung drunkard scumfuck Charles Bukowski.

And then there's always my personal favorite, Ernest Hemingway. Who else came close to revolutionizing the way in which people write to the same extent? Less is more, and "Hills like White Elephants" contains an entire conversation about abortion without that word being mentioned even once. I say that says a lot about what tight-asses people can be. Who says killing fetuses can't be a fun time?

By the way, anyone ever read Faust part II? It's absolute garbage. It took me months to track it down, it being hard to find and all, but the bookstore finally ordered a copy from who knows where, and I bought it.

Don't make the same mistake.

CARRIE, IT, PET SEMATARY, THE STAND, UNDER THE DOME, SALEM'S LOT, BAG OF BONES, THE GREEN MILE, CUJO, SKELETON CREW, THINNER, INSOMNIA, DREAMCATCHER,  all by Stephen King.

Empire of Salt by Weston OHCSE

 

Thanks Eli for the advice about Faust Part 2....I think all of your favorite books sounds very interesting...And, I am a big fan of all of Stephen King's books too..Thinner was a strange one to me...=-]

@ Daisy Cujo was fucked up too...it was like Alice in Wonderland meets [insert horror movie]. The damn dog had to go down the hole... I wasn't too crazy about Under the Dome, though...but to be honest, I didn't get very far into it.

@ Eli: I agree Cujo was indeed a very strange movie--I think it came out when I was a kid and when I first saw it it gave me nightmares...Another King classic I love is Christine...That car was just to awesome to me...It was cool how if it got totaled it would just fix itself...=-]

I LOVED UNDER THE DOME

Its not anything like his older works, but I like that he's gaining a new feel.

Yeah, I love Jim Morrison anyways...Have loved The Doors for many years..I have lots of their cds and they are my most prized possessions besides my cradle cds....=-]

Got the Doors first album signed by all of the band, unfortunately it's not in mint condition and Doors autographs are actually fairly common, they all signed a lot of stuff when they were together lol. So cool thing to own but not really worth anything.

 

I do like biographies/autobiographies, Aleister Crowleys is a good read and VERY out there, and I enjoyed Nikki Sixx's recent Heroin Diaries where he tells the story of the year period when he died twice lol!

Yes, that does sound pretty cool anyways that you have their 1st album and it is signed...I have a poster of Jim that has a poem written on it and the poet signed it--It may not be worth much,but, I love it...OOO, yes, I heard about Nikki Sixx's book too--I would love to read that one...I wish someone would write a book about all the good rock stars of the 60's--just combine it all in one book: Put like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin and such in the book--I would love a book like that...=-]
