Right now I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula, a book on The Most Evil Secret Societies in History, The Jungle, and Stranger In A Strangeland. I have read a lot into The Knights Templars, their history and myths. The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite. I love his revenge.
A few good books that I was really into, because of how well written they were (read em in a few hours, disturbing books though)were Birdman and The Treatment.
Taken from an online review by Rick Kleffel (it sums up what I thought of the books in a good way):
"Mo Hayder made something of a splash with her first novel, last year's 'Birdman'. Her prose is quite good, but her plotting in 'Birdman' left something to be desired. On one hand, she creates some excellent characters -- moping cop Jack Caffery, his pushy artist girlfriend Rebecca, and DCI Danni Souness, Caffery's boss. But her serial killer was clearly modeled after Jamie Gumb from Thomas Harriss' 'Silence of the Lambs'. It was a startling bit of unoriginality. Finally, readers and reviewers alike found fault with her relentless and lovingly described gore, violence and sexual violence. For many it was too much, way too much. To me it seemed like fantastic special effects in the service of an inferior script. Still the characters kept me reading, and that's what a writer is supposed to do.
Her latest novel, 'The Treatment' will have those who found 'Birdman' too much calling for censorship. Really, easily, no question. It exists in an almost quantum state between exploitative trash and a well-wrought tale of terror.
What it does make apparent is that, in spite of the trappings of mystery -- a detective, crimes, lots of New Detectives (forget that fictional imitator!) forensics -- her novels are clearly horror novels. Oh, they're all too realistic, trust me on this one.
'The Treatment' is about a ring of pedophiles, child pornographers and murders. I can't claim that reading it is a pleasant experience. For a number of readers, it's the kind of book that's likely to induce cross-room volume hurling. It goes farther than you want and farther than you think.
'The Treatment' is also rather well written. The plot is certainly not directly, obviously derivative of anything I've read, though it echoes of some of Andrew Vacchs' work. Hayder doesn't bring Vacchs' searing vision to 'The Treatment'. Instead she creates a section of Brixton as a hodgepodge hellhole of shiny urban towers and dowdy suburban blight. But what she is writing here are essentially monster stories. The monsters are human, but the format and feel is strictly monster. She cranks up the tension past the point of melodrama and leaves it there. Some will find it enthralling; some will find it annoying. And a lot of people will say Mo Hayder goes too far. I'm not sure that's true, but it sounds like an effective marketing tactic.
If you read this, you should go check those books out.
I have a very limited collection of graphic novels and comics if those count in this section.
All time favorite graphic novels are Akira, Appleseed, Sin City, Batman-The Killing Joke, Heavy Metal Mags, Star Wars, eh, too many now that I think about it.
My friend has gotten me to start reading Bukowski, without her knowing it. Thanks Haley, you've opened up my world a lot more.
Ummm, Red Storm Rising (Clancy) was good. I like to read books about history, American and world history, the ocult, Free Masons. Any books on art. Got a great one in college called America's Musical History. I love music magazines, had to get rid of my smut and porn...ummm....but now I'm starting a new collection...if you've read this far, go find something better to do as I'm about to do right now.
Link Wray, Erin Killebrew, anyone who has the balls to stick up for what they believe in to the end.
