I just started reading A Widow For One Year by John Irving. So far it doesn't seem that good. After this book I'm probably reading something suggested in this thread.

I just finished a book called Join Me written by Danny Wallace, the founder of Join Me that is dedicated to doing random acts of kindness for everyone. It is an excellent book and I am planning to join Danny and become Joinee Heaven.

It would be hard to portray. Same as Psycho. It was 10 times more scary to read it than to watch. All thanks to our amazing creative brain.

Just finished reading Ring by Koji Suzuki.

I liked it a lot. Explained a lot of things you don't see in the movies. Gonna read the sequel next [Spiral]
..Yeah don't go there,

I let you get to me

yeah yeah.

I'm reading at the moment George R.R. Martin "A Song Of Ice And Fire".
I'm at book 7, and it's really awesome...

One of the best fantasy books I ever read : so much mature, deep, and well written than many other ones (as Robin Hobb's Royal Assassin for example...).

I can't stop reading it...

Just reading through some good ole leisure horror.  Richard Laymon, Brian Smith, Brian Keene, Graham Masterton.  Basically, pulp horror novels, but a guilty pleasure for me.

Started Paulo Coelho's 'The Zahir' today.. I don't know why it took me so much time to just buy one of his books cause this one seems to be just brilliant. The way he writes is really intense, it's almost as if you sit beside the protagonist, listening to his story..

Dude, I'm a massive Graham Masterton fan. My favourite has to be Dark Angel.

Have you heard of Brian Lumley? He has a series called the Necroscope.

I've read "master and margaritte" by mikhail bulgakov and that's some weird ass book. Me likes.

Sleep

"oryx and crake" by Margaret Atwood. It's apocalyptic, and eerie.

Sleep

Okay so that book Oryx and Crake was creepy and just fucked up - check it out.
