Wow, difficult question. I usually only read biographies and I am not sure if they really count. Would have probably been some book about a person with psychic gifts, cant get enough of those type of biographies. Havent read anything since last year though.

A piece of crap about the history of America. When it actually spoke about what really happened it was a good book, but the drawn out parts... Not worth mentioning.

Hell House. It was my first time reading from the horror genre, I usually read thrillers. I liked it... loved the descriptions. Didn't scare me... but it was interesting and intriguing.

Well I just finished reading a lengthy profile comment from Illusion, if that counts... hah.
I really need to find a good book. I'm such a picky reader. I only like witty, suspenseful, end-of-the-world romance novels with detailed sex. Speaking of which, people are saying 50 Shades of Grey is the biggest pile of shit they've ever read. Which I don't understand, because it has an extensive fan base. People said the same about the Twilight series, which I've never read either. **side note - I just typed 'sex' into the keyword search bar and nothing came up. What in the hell... and my boyfriend is all the way in North Dakota right now. >.> For some reason, I get super turned on when I realize sex with him isn't readily available. And I come up with all of these scenarios that involves him coming home with my favorite Starbucks drink, laying naked in bed with sexy music playing. Like, woah. « ☼ ☾ ✰ » Semi-Active.

It has a massive fan base because it's Twilight with the names changed to protect
As for me, I recently finished Accelerando: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog...celerando.html Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)
Art by Coda (updated 8/25/2022 - beatBitten and All-Nighter Simulator) Mega Man: The Light of Will (Mega Man / Green Lantern crossover: In the lead-up to the events of Mega Man 2, Dr. Wily has discovered emotional light technology. How will his creations change how humankind thinks about artificial intelligence? Sadly abandoned. Sufficient Velocity x-post) | ||||

There is a trope, called "Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy" - where darkness, conflict, and pain without meaning tends to make the audience numb and lose investment. That is how I feel several of King's works are. Given, I am told that the Dark Tower series is better (have not read). Poe and Lovecraft did much better with that. Perhaps, that is due to their unreliable narrators, or being more subtle; a growing darkness, rather than "Boo! Grim and dark down your throat!"

Lawtan: Darkness and pain in a story should have a point. If we want to be disgusted by pointlessness we'd just go watch a horror movie. I guess some Stephen King is intended to be the paper equivalent of a horror movie.
Last book I read was Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah. | ||||

That was sort of what I meant. <.<
Right now, I am rereading "The Halloween Tree" and "Something Wicked this Way Comes" - by Ray Bradbury (The latter is very lovely - far better than most Carnival Horror you see/read) Lawtan: A chaotic dragoness with issues. __��s ofer�ode, �isses sw� m�g. __ Science, horror, folklore, and cuteness incoming! | ||||
