Comic Book Tattoo By various artists, set to the lyrics of Tori Amos. Made me think that Pearl Jam could totally do a similar book. Eddie's lyrics set to a comic book. Jeremy, Release, World Wide Suicide and the list goes on.

been reading alot of Brian Kenne if you like the horror genre - similar to King, but his books take on a different aspect of horror (zombies, ghouls, etc..) also read day by day armageddon by j.l. bourne - it was excellent. Its a survivors diary of his experiences and encounters during a zombie apocalypse.
if you like illustrated stuff - try the walking dead series from Image pick up volume one in your graphic novel section and you'll be hooked from the get go!
As you live your life in sometimes quiet desperation, facing adversity and tragedy: if you have hope and love, that mixture helps you overcome that tragedy and go on with the rest of your life.”

"The Worst Hard Time" by Tim Egan and "The Forgotten Man" by Amity Shlaes. Man is about the Great Depression, and Time is about the Dust Bowl during the Depression.

"After Dachau" by Daniel Quinn, and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde.

Im reading a book called, "Behind the Red Line".
It's about the first American hockey player to play in the Soviet Union, for a professional Soviet team.
It's a pretty good book, and is really eye-opening about the way that Russian citizens looked at America. According to the author, almost of the Russians he met loved America and were extremely accommodating/friendly. But it also showed first hand, from the workers perspectives, about how screwed up the socialist form of government really is.
Also has a lot of good hockey stories

Hunter Thompson - Fear & loathing in Las Vegas, just finished it a fun read! Brilliant monologues..
Dan Brown - Angels & Demons, i just started and so far its interesting, alltho the set of of the story really has a lot of similarities as Da Vinci Code (murder, victim's daughter and a secret research).
Regarding Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas ~ I've seen the movie about a dozen times, but I heard the book is really good

It's not really good, it's one of the five best books to come out of America in the 20th Century. Buy it...read it. Nuff' said. :geek:
just finished reading "lullaby" by chuck palahniuk (fight club, choke) ... pretty good read... especially towards the end
now i need a recommendation for something new! (choosing a new book is always intimidating)
i love and have read just about everything from vonnegut, palahniuk, hemingway, salinger
looking for something in a similar vein... sortof cynical, manic, psychological, gritty, truthful
The West Point Route: The Atlanta & West Point Road and the Western Railway of Alabama
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Brilliant and amazing book; possibly better than Cuckoo's Nest.
I'm reading Unto a God Unknown by John Steinbeck

Really dense to say the least.
Trying desperately to shake off this depression. Yuck.....Winter.
Winter does suck for depression that's for damn sure.
Is the book helping?
Not yet...But I'm only on Chapter 1

How is that? I've toyed with picking it up myself a few times, but it looks pretty hefty and time for reading can be hard to come by sometimes.
Right now, I'm reading:
Jim Butcher- Blood Rites
