Mr Joey Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hey there, I'm new to the forum. Where do I start.. I'm a 17 year old ICT student living in Bristol, England. I haven't read a awful lot of books over the last few years but I was a big reader a few years ago.. although recently I've gotten back into it. Unfortunately all the books I once had has gone missing - including my Harry Potter collection unfortunately. I guess that's what happens when you bury your books away after years of unuse. So I've been rebuilding my collection a bit and I've also been buying some new books. In the last few days I've bought I Am Legend (Which I finished yesterday), all 3 LOTR books (Which arrived today) and Angels and Demons which I suspect will arrive monday. I've also recently finished reading S.D Perry's Aliens : The Labrinth. I'm not sure which books to buy next, Dracula maybe, reccomendations are welcome. I guess I'm into horror books, or thriller.. basicly something with a dark, compelling storyline. Although I'm also a big history nut so I guess I like historical novels. Okay I'll stop talking now.. this looks like a good forum, with plenty of people taking part - which is always a good thing. Thanks for reading.

Andaira Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hello, and welcome! It's terrible that those books of yours have gone missing, but you've selected some great works to start off all over again with your collection . I'm a huge fan of historical novels and horror/thrillers as well. If you would like recommendations, how about Susan Carroll, David Gemmell, Ariana Franklin, and Cora Harrison, as far as historical fiction goes; as well as Stephen King of course, Clive Barker, H. P. Lovecraft, and Douglas Preston, for some thrilling and horror reads. I'm sure I have more suggestions but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. Feel free to give a poke if you would like some more recommendations . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookBee8 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've bought I Am Legend (Which I finished yesterday), . Hello! :welcomeboard:I hope you enjoy it here. I've got this one on my TBR list, what did you think to it? I'm sure your book list will triple due to this forum. Mine has! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Joey Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think it's a fantastic book, the author does so well to portray the madness this man is going through.. the lonliness, sexual frustrations, anger - it's excellently done. I think the ending could of been done in a better way, I actually prefer the film's ending but the book was still fantastic. It's got me into thinking of buying some more vampire novels... maybe go back where it all started and buy Dracula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookBee8 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sounds good. I've got a few others I'm going to read first but I might bump it up a bit and read it sooner rather than later! I considered trying Dracula but haven't got around to buying it yet. You'll have to let met know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
