Finished Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. Awesome book I loved it. Odd Thomas is a fry cook in Pico Mundo in the Mojave Desert.Odd Thomas sees dead people and has a compulsion to help them. Something bad is going to happen to Pico Mundo on the 15th of August. Odd Thomas is against the clock to avert disaster. The book starts on the 14th of August. This is a super fast paced supernatural thriller. Dont do what I did though and read the synopsis of the sequels they give away a vital part of the plot. 10/10

Finished Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. real quality, loved it.

Picked up Forever Odd by Dean Koontz and Twentieth Century Battlefields by Jon and Peter Snow. Half way through Odd Thomas, Its really good

I really enjoyed The Grail Quest Trilogy by Bernard Cornwell, but the book I'm reading at the moment Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz is the first of a series of 4(with more to come), and its fantastic.

No thats great thanks I'll see if I can pick up copy on the cheap and stick it on my tbr shelves

I've just read the blurb on amazon of the Deathworld books they sound great. Have you read the first book and if so is it as good as it sounds?

Used the book depository for the first time, and ordered Anoraknophobia by Rob Grillo,Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist,Count Magus and Other Stories by M.R. James and The Accident Man by Tom Cain. The books are more expensive than Amazon but international postage is free saving me about 10 quid all up.

I'm choosing players I've seen play. 1. Glenn Hoddle 2. Peter Beardsley 3. Paul Gascoinge 4. Alan Shearer 5. Wayne Rooney

Charlie and the Chocolate for me,My eldest son Charlie used to listen Roald Dahl when he was little and number 3 son Joe has started reading James and the Giant Peach.Dahl is a genius! I loved Charlie and the Chocolate factory as boy(I've reread as a adult too) brilliant

Read Odd Thomas, until 12:36am. Up again at 4:15am to listen to Newcastle play Scunny.. and carry on reading Odd Thomas.Who says men cant multi task! The book is proving to be a very addictive read,if I'm not reading it I want to be

Read the first four chapters of Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz, cant wait to get back to it.

Amen by John Hyde The story of the battle between God's champion and the Devil's. Demons aplenty in this story not for the squemish though. Only available second hand now aswell.

Finished Fables:Arabian Nights(and Days) by Bill Willingham the 7th graphic novel in the series. Unfortunately I've Jumped from vol 2 to vol 7(I'm reading all that our library has) I've obviously missed swathes of storyline but it was still a cracking read. I will endeavor to catch up and continue this fantastic comicbook series. 9/10

I really liked the sequel and will read it again. I've also heard a rumour that there is to be a 3rd book featuring David Ash but I cant find any substantial information

I'll look into that thanks

I thought it was just me that did this As a fan of genre fiction I actually dont mind the fiction section being split up into genres and sub-genres. If I have'nt got a specific book or genre in mind I tend to wander around aimlessly until something catches my eye.

Thanks Kylie, I'll give it a go next week I think

One for the members who live in Australia. Have you ordered in any books from Amazon.com in the States and if so did everything go okay? was there any duty to pay? I've ordered loads from amazon.co.uk but not .com. sorry if I've put this in the wrong place

Finished Haunted by James Herbert. Great story about psychic investigator David Ash who has to investigate a haunting at a country mansion called Edbrook. I love ghost stories and this up there with the best in my opinion, I also love James Herbert some I'm probably biased. I read the Ghosts of Sleath which is the follow up to Haunted first, which whilst it did not spoil the story would have been better read in order. I saw the film before I read the book, that was a mistake as I knew the main twist when it came.Apart from the twist the film and the book are very different, the book much more satisfying than its celluloid counterpart. 9/10

Finished Haunted by James Herbert. Read the last 70 pages before I got out of bed this morning, I'll be behind with the housework all day now

Continued reading Haunted and I am enjoying it very much... wish I had not seen the film first though. Also bought Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz I'm looking forward to reading it very much and may well read it next.

Went to Borders with the intention of buying the Historian and Let the Right One In, sadly they wanted $28 for the Historian and $33 for Let the Right One in! I've just checked Amazon(uk) I can get both books for about $40(

Finished The Frightened Gun by George G. Gilman 9/10. A 70's pulp western. Also Finished Fables:Animal Farm(Graphic Novel) by Bill Willingham. Another tale of fairy story folk gone psycho. I love these comics, I'm looking forward to getting hold of the next installment Storybook Love.

Finished The Frightened Gun by George G. Gilman and Fables:Animal Farm,a graphic novel by Bill Willingham. I've started Haunted by James Herbert
