  9. I'm looking for some new material to read, not so much any specific books but just good authors that seem to have a nack for writing a good book. I'm looking for: -A similar style to King/Koontz/Mccammon -Horror/Thriller -Likable characters -An author that can entwine two or more stories and make a gob-smacking final twist -Doesnt have to be horror; I really enjoyed 'Hearts in Atlantis' (King) 'A Boys Life'(McCammon) -Some kind of 'evil' involved - be it super natural or human. -Very good description and something easy to follow -Don't mind ghosts as long as they utilized well (such as in 'Haunted' [James Herbert]) Dislikes: -Vampires. -Government plots to end the world and so on. -Aliens (unless of course used in a heart warming way such as in 'One Door Away From Heaven [Koontz]) -'lX-rated' chapters clearly used just to bulk the book up -I'm not into all the gore and stuff i dont want to be reading 'And as he ripped his spine out a heart stopping scream escaped him' Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreiciated

    Hello :)

    Thank you all for the warm welcome
  11. Hey Tbird! :006::welcome: Hope you enjoy it here :D

  12. The last CD i bought was Brand X Misery by a band called Cire. They are a good progressive rock band with grunge and alt/rock influences. Very 'underground' band. If Tool and Rage Against the Machne were ever mixed into one super band, Cire is what they'd sound like. The last thing i *cough*downloaded*cough* was the full alice in chains discography, as ive never took the time to actually listen to them
  13. Well Koontz was the first author i ever read from and i can say ive pretty much liked every book of his, bar a few. I'll give a list and a breif descripion of my top 5 1) From the Corner of His Eye - Very big, in depth book with very likable characters. The plot twists and turns and entertained me from start to finish. Alot of characters and entwining stories. 2)Mr Murder - Very well written. The book has got every element - i feel - needed in a book, great characters; great plot; great chase and (hard to describe the next piont) has a human feel to it. Ending lets it downa tad but still a great read. 3)Odd Thomas - 1st person ( I like this because it makes the book more personal and the character(s) easier to relate with), Brilliant mix of thriller and slight humour, easy to follow, brilliantly written FANTASTIC ENDING 4)Dragon Tears - This one is more of a supernatural book which has worked well, again a great sense of relationship between reader and character, Solid story, this book is hard to flaw. 5)The face - Brilliant book. Cleverly written with two entwining stories. It turns slightly toward the supernatural side of things but again works very well. Great relationships between characters (and reader). Has fantastic twists and a great ending. Happy reading

    Hello :)

    Hello, my user name is Tbird; but you can call me Tom if you wish . I'm 16, well actually 17 as of 3 hours ago (woop), years old and i enjoy reading books from writers such as Dean R Koontz, Stephen King, Robert McCammon and James Herbert. I also like to read some philosophy, but dont ask me too much about who, when and what because I'm not all that educated on the subject, i just like the read, as it makes me think. I'm into poker, music (its my love), reading (of course) and i guess I'm a people person. I hope to make some friends and have some good discussion, aswell as expand upon my library, while stay here. Thanks for reading and i hope to hear from you soon
