"i'd like to teach the world to flex....in perfect harmony"

I seem to go through a phase of love affairs with certain authors. Having recently finished all the Irvine Welsh I could lay my hands on, I'm now moving onto the works of Clive Barker.

Most memorable books I've read are:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vega - Hunter S. Thompson
Porno - Irvine Welsh
I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
The Magus - John Fowles
Weaveworld - Clive Barker
Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz
The Atrocity Exhibition - J. G. Ballard
The Fabulous Riverboat - Philip Jose Farmer
Sophie's World - Jostein Gaarder

There are literally hundreds more, but I'm having trouble recalling them at this time.

ok ok ill post some of my favorites!

Romance...
The Prince's Bride-Victoria Alexander
The whole Bridgerton series(almost 8 books!)-Julia Quinn
Rules of Surrender-Christina Dodd
all of Richard Paul Evens' books (clean romance)

Fantasy-
the Shanara series-Terry Brooks
The Princess Bride (almost identical to the movie! but funnier!)-William Goldman
all the Harry Potter books

i havent read any suspence in a long time...sry...so thats all for now!

Ceps I honestly don't know where you come up with this stuff, but please keep it coming! I'm still laughing! A moment of silence for Hunter S. Thomson please.

i know what you mean cpl! i about died when i first read that!!!

Ceps is well a gifted genius.

This all stems back to improper toliet training as a child.

The book itself is a wonderous piece of prose, basing itself upon the notion of artifical intelligence as a further extension of the human psyche. By its very nature, it inherits our own personal traits yet lacks the physical makeup and subjective thought patterns that make us humans. It also deals with mankind's persecution towards this 'being' and the way in which we spurn the technology we created, yet it is merely us on relfection. The notion that if we were to meet ourselves, we would be disgusted. Finally, it also centers upon us as a civilisation shoruding ourselves in technology and losing sight of what it actually should be to be a complete person.

I'd completely forgotten about this book - thank you for bringing it up, Taco! Guess I have plenty of time at the moment to read it once again...

Sounds like a great book

Ill have to check it out tomorow.

Ess-Jay hope your feeling better man.
