Been reading thrillers focusing on cults/religion and absolutely love them. So far I've only read: The Servants of Twilight and The Davinci Code.

Anyone know some other good ones?

From the website :
"Called "The learned person's approach to all things dark and lovely" by the Azrael Project Newsletter, for 10 years Morbid Curiosity magazine presented true, first-person accounts of unusual experiences. Morbid Curiosity was an annual journal published and edited by Loren Rhoads."

It's basically a very thick magazine (110 pages on average) that has really disgusting articles written by police officers, ambulance paramedics, morticians, coroners etc about some of the horrible things they have had to see and deal with on the job (Car accidents, embalming, road spaghetti, stillborns etc) Unfortunately, it's not published anymore, but you can still order old issues. I've been buying them for about a year now.

Morbid Curiosity website

I just bought issue #8. It's pretty putrid

Requiem: Foucault's Pendulum.

I just read the article on Wikipedia. Thanks for the recommendation, Foucault's Pendulum seems like a good read. Going to look for at the public library(i'm skeptical that the library won't have it).

Haha, this exert made me laugh.

This is basically a IMDB for books.

Sweet ^^
Thanks for sharing that.

Finally started reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I'm about 50 pages in and the movie, thus far, kept up with the book pretty well.

moe_blunts: Check out Clive Barker's Books of Blood.

I just finished reading a book a friend gave me called "The Shack." It's fictional, but I found many truths and lots of eye opening concepts in it that I'd never dreamed of. It's built around a story line that's plausible involving a father's momentary distraction that results in a little girl's kidnapping and what happens to her, but the bulk of the story is about the father's awareness and realization that God isn't exactly the way he thought. And not quite the way I thought either. So whatever your beliefs are or even lack of them you might like different angles in it. Religion is pretty much man's idea and independence gets it's own definition. So do relationships and love. Some of the ideas I do feel with some of you even through the internet so that's why I wanted to share this with you.
The author, who sounds like a really neat guy, asks that the website be shared so I will. http://www.theshackbook.com/index.html
I hope it's a memorable book for you if you read it and if you do, feel free to pm me and let me know what you think.

Wow...nice bump.


The Turner Diaries is so awesome. Here's an actual quote on the back of the book from Timothy McVeigh:

"I bought the book out of a publication that advertised the book as a gun-rights book."

lol

I'm almost done Terry Goodkind's Stone of Tears novel, the second of the series. The show "Legend of the Seeker" on ABC is based off of the first book, but fails by comparison and doesn't follow the book whatsoever. The books are great though.

Another Sword of Truth-geek then, haha. I've read 'em all up to and including Faith of the Fallen; I generally don't like the eternity series fantasy stuff, but those have a certain something.

I hate most movies that were based on books, they always fuck something up. I watched The Hound of the Baskervilles movie not too long ago and was very disappointed with how many details they missed/fucked up. For example, they had Holmes INJECTING opium into himself instead of smoking it

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would go fucking mad if he were still alive.

The only movie I have seen that followed the book rather closely was A Clockwork Orange... but Anthony Burgess still hated the film apparently.

haha. I thought there would be someone on here that would be one also. I have a friend of mine who has read the full series a few times over.

I read at a child's pace. Godamn English majors.

Power metal and fantasy books go hand in hand.
So there's actually someone who's made movies out of those books? Well, never mind, I didn't see The lord of the rings-movies, and I don't want to see any Sword of Truth-movies. Some things simply aren't meant for the screen.

I'm there too, the first two books are starting to come apart here and there. Oh well. They're not expensive or hard to get or anything.

Yeah, the first was was turned into a mini-series called "Legend of the Seeker". It's laughable how bad it is..I mean, it doesn't follow the main story whatsoever and so many characters are introduced that are nonexistent in the novels.

You're right about the price of novels, $10 for a 900plus page book is nothing to complain about!
