But the content and reality are very much the same, just less strip clubs.Just finished:
A different read now than when it was first written I suspect.
Read the whole series in succession. It really links well together.Just finishing up:
i'd re read the first four books so everything is fresh...otherwise....you're left wondering if the book had a fvcking editor.Once finished will be starting:
At the rate I read there's no WAY I'll finish DwD before it's due back to the library.
You mean The Hobbit -> LotR?
Weirdo. Have you read Stephen King's Dark Tower series? that should keep you busy for a while.
Fantasy/science fiction geeks check out this list.
WTF?
Yellow bus much?WTF?
I don't retain things terribly well... so it's *kinda* like reading it for the 1st time every time.
Do you mean the Short Bus? God you're obtuse sometimes...
I read these a while ago (10y?) I remember hearing they were doing a movie of it at some stage - obviously never eventuated.
try reading them without the weed.
Yeah, I've got "The Great Beast" in my collection, it's written by the executor of his estate, he had access to all of Crowleys papers.
On a related note, Ozzy's book had me laughing every 5 minutes. The part where he burns down his garage......holy ****.
I just finished book 10. I have to say I will be glad when this series is done. Its a great story, but it gets a little complicated if you go long periods between booksCurrently reading:
Long, dark winters 'round there, eh?
I'm waiting for the movie on NetFlix (I know, book thread).Yeah, I've got "The Great Beast" in my collection, it's written by the executor of his estate, he had access to all of Crowleys papers.
Weird, weird guy, and man could that guy take some drugs!!!!
The "May I give you the kiss of the serpent" bit still cracks me up though!
39/100, 17 out of the first 25.
tasticI'm just happy they are finally being brought to an end. I picked up the first one probably 15 years ago.
Same. It's very reminiscent of 'the Book of Eli' or The Dark Tower series.Half way through it, and I'm pretty firmly convinced I've read this book already.
Hey I read that. Great read. One of the best books I read in 2011.
Interesting- a little heavy on the philosophy at times (even though I enjoy it), but overall he makes some great points.
I never watched The Book of Eli.
Pretty sure I had a nightmare last night caused by that book.
i don't recall any 600 pound men covered in crisco in the book....
I didn't know it was a series of books. I'll need to look into that when I get back home.
Agree - as much as I enjoyed King's story, McCarthy's is (imho) a better and darker story. I've not seen the movie yet though - anyone?
Movie was damn close to the book but felt rushed. They added flashbacks with the mother (charlize theron) to the movie which felt unnecessary. I could have done without watching the movie.
I'm glad to hear someone say that. I read The Road in one of the darker times of my life, pretty heavy novel, and I can't imagine tainting it by interfering with my imagination and watching the movie-- no matter how "accurate" it is, it will never leave my own understanding of the book alone.
