    Comic Book Tattoo :D 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!

    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 :D

    Wish you were here...
