I'm so exausted by the relationships in this book. Sometimes I wish there was at least 1 "normal" couple there...

Good to know - thank you. I'll add it to my list then.

I see this book mentioned around this board already. I've watched the movie yesterday and I liked it.. mostly. Unfortunately it's targeting a much younger audience . Is the book targeting the same audience?

Somenone read Joyland? I bougth it and it went directly to my shelf waiting for better days .

Another vote for Carrion Comfort. It's the best book I've read in a while. Wouldn't qualify it exactly as a horror novel though.

I just finished that. It's indeed a good book. A bit outdated and probably because of that I prefer the Chronicles of Amber. However I was pleasantly surprised when I found that there was an attempt to make a movie out of that book back in '79 and this is actually the script that CIA used in their famous operation in Iran. This is what the ARGO movie is about for those that do not know http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024648/.

I always thought unicorns are too mystical and hard to even spot. They always represent the nature and work as deus-ex-machina. To be honest I hate them and this is mostly because in all movies the horn attached to the horse is so ridiculously moving as the animal is walking around. I fully agree with Sakura that they are a big cliché. Hunting unicorns for pleasure sounds interesting but I can't imagine the rest of the story. Should be a really messed up world...

Ah I love zombies. Classical zombies I mean. They are so slow, and miserable. You may always outrun them unless caught by surprise. Do not fear them I always enjoy how they are presented - big crowds, very persistent, always enraged, highly resistent to chainguns and they always die first before the primary evil in the movie/book is revealed (kind of sad lol). I watched recently movie. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece but if you have some time to waste you may check and see the zombies from a different angle.

I think that the idea was that If you don't go too deep into that it is somehow acceptable. There are some prety handsome zombies in the movie. If you ask me that's the best reason to watch it. It's probably the best I've seen after Resident Evil 1.

The movie is out. I've read that the book is quite different. Someone read it? Spoiler alert ! You may check out this article.

ouch, that's a spoiler.

. Thanks, I asked the same recently and thought no one will answer.

The Dark Tower by St. King. Still remember my roommate asking me if I've read it and his surprise when I said no. We're both huge St.King fans . There were only 4 parts published back at the time.

I'd recommend Stephen King. He uses similar approach in almost all of his books. In smaller scale probably but he likes to stretch minutes of time into tenths of pages describing thoughts/feelings for each of his characters and their own understanding about certain events in the book. I won't give exact names but you may check something from his early years.

My TBR list just increased About the chronicles of Amber it seems many of you read it but just didn't like it so much. Do you mind sharing why? It's one of the first fantasy book i've ready and perhaps that's why it has so special meaning to me. A couple of books to recommend: Le Talef d'Alkoria by Dan Dastier - couldn't find the english name. Very short and easy to read book. The Star Diaries of Ijon Tikhi by Stanislaw Lem - 7th voyage is my favourite.
