Picked up this after seeing the movie.

I think I saw someone recommend it either on this site or HN, movie was good enough to make me want to read the book to see how much better it was.  The book is pretty good.  I'm enjoying the read

Just started "The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub. 

I've made several other attempts at reading this book in the past.  I'm going to force myself to get further than 100 pages this time.

I know what you mean. I got 'Black House' when I got two crates full of most Stephen King books and basically everything that Dean Koontz has ever written but waited til I got Talisman to read it.

A friend of mine recommended "A Canticle for Liebowitz" which I was assured was all kinds of awesome.

Guess what?

It is! Post-apacalypic religious overtones with an underlying message of technological reliance! A classic by all forms of the word!

If you found the movie interesting I'd suggest picking up the book.  Much better than the movie. IMO

It's been many years since I last read it, so I'm re-reading the Bible.



I don't quite remember it being this....grim.  :-(

Genesis is pretty funny.  A laundry list of all these dudes who lived to be 700 years old.

It's got a little something for everbody. Mass killings, ritual sacrifices, drunken incest, hints at homobuttsexrape, polygamy...and I'm just halfway though Genesis.

Yep, and it's in the bible so it must be good.

I've always been a fan of the book of Job.  Here's my summary of it.

God: Check out that guy.  He really digs me.

Devil: I bet he wouldn't dig you if his life was teh sukc.

God: Sure he would. 

Devil: Let me fuxx0r him and we'll see.

God: You're on!  Fuxx0r away!

Devil: *fuxx0rz up Job's life*

Job: OMG! THIS SUX0RZ!

Devil: Hate God yet?

Job: No....

God: See? 

Devil: Huh.  Well I'll be damned.

God: Why don't you kill his family while you're at it?

Devil: 'kay.  *kills Job's family*

Job: OMG WHY! THIS SUX0RZ!

Devil: Hate God now?

Job: Not yet.

God: Give him boils and stuff.

Devil: Good idea!  *gives Job boils and stuff*

Job: OMG THIS HURTS!

Devil: Hate God yet?

Job: No.  But I'd like to go on record in saying that this really blows. 

God: LOLOLZ!  See? I told you.  He's totally pwned.

Devil: Man, you're seriously messed up.

God: Yep.  But whatcha gonna do?   8-)
