Anyone read these books?

I'm just reading the last of the 'Dark Hunter' series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, has anyone else read them?.

Basically it's a kind of vampire series, with plenty of sex to appeal for the female readers. Apparently though, the readership in the USA is more than 50% male, and even higher in Europe - despite this, in UK bookshops it's listed in the 'romance' section.

But really good books, with plausible reasons for everything, and even makes you scared to go to New Orleans!

I've read the complete series, to date, in about ten days, my wifes read them as well, and my daughter and her boyfriend are on them now!.

On a similar misfiled series, I would also recommend the J. D. Robb 'In Death' series of scifi detective stories starring 'Eve Dallas', again they have sex scenes for the female readers, so are filed under 'romance' - but are good serious future detective books at heart.

Arthur C. Clarke. (Sad loss) and Alastair Reynolds (Revelation Space sagas).

no havent read those. I am currently reading the blood of abraham by james "jimmy" carter.

i also have book about the travels of christopher columbus and other explorers.

i'd also reccomend reading the bible. it is after all, the world's number one seller.

What is with you and religion, quixotron?

No, i have not read that, nigel. Right now i am reading To Kill a Mockingbird (for school), and Dune (also for school).

More into films I don't take the casual time for it. I can't set still long. I almost can't get through most movies either ?

Just last friday we watched (Dune) in our office at work during lunch. Because the guy next to me had never seen it. Then he expressed his favorite of all time movies was (To Kill a Mockingbird)

Huh. How close is the movie to the book (dune)?... We will be watching TKAM when we are done with the book.

They never can. If so the movie would be so long that I would anguish and die.

By the way how do you guy's get that indentation box in the quote ?

Marks256 · Mar 30, 2008

type [quote_] text to quote goes here... then type [/quote_] to stop quoting. You must remove the underscores ("_") If you want to have a name show up, instead of doing just plain [_quote], you can do [_quote=kilivolt], then it would show

I'm a huge SciFi fan as well, and I've got a fairly extensive library!

E. E. Doc Smith is one of my favourites, and Robert Heinlen.

I think I'll prefer plenty of sex to appeal for the male readers.

Sex sells + A lot of X sells = A lot

I have to admit that some books out of the Bible are quite entertaining, especially Revelation and Acts.

I'd probably read more books if I didn't have 8 textbooks to sift through this semester

I tend to read fiction when I'm on holiday. I like authors like Michael Creighton and Frederick Forsyth. I also like biographies and anything at all about Richard Feynman. I never read the Bible type fiction.

I read the Bible (but I skipped the begats). It's a lot like reading the Silmarillion but less internally consistent. Revelations is a lot of fun though.

It's only the best seller in the western world. As works of fiction go, it's too scattered and inconsistent to really hold its own. Plus it has that whole religion albatross hanging round its neck, which makes it hard to take seriously.

Number one seller, sounds so base, however, this collection of poetry (The Bible) has influenced EVERY work written in English, and if you would like to know more about how, then read "The Great Code," by Northrup Frye.

I haven't read horror, since I read "The Exorcist." I read it in one night - and it was a very thick book - because I was so scarred I couldn't put it down until there was resolution.

I have watched some horror movies, but they are more like comedies.

Anyone read these books?
