i know you don't like him Geo, but you have to admit that he can certainly make most people laugh! even if it's normally at him rather than with him.

I've been reading the Starbuck Cronicles. For those who don't know, their: Rebel, Copperhead, Battleflag and The bloody ground [Unread yet]
Its about a soldier in the US Cival war, a northener who joined the south. Its really good. 3nodding
And another set of books I'd suggest about the same thing is the Sharpe Series, which is in the Napolionic wars, You can find the name of those, yourself. blaugh

Currently reading The Wild Highway by Bill Drummond and Mark Manning.
Vile, vile pile of absolute hideousness. I'm absolutely loving it! twisted
Definitely not one for the faint of heart (or stomach) though.
It's basically a fictional account of their trip through Zaire, and it is filled with truly nasty moments. One scene involving Japanese business men inviting a BBC correspondent to join them in the eating alive of a young African woman (she accepts btw) is in particular steadfastly refusing to leave my mind. gonk
Lot of Pratchett fans around it seems. I am going to read Last Hero when I'm done with this to make me feel better sweatdrop

I just like to be shocked, I am always pleased when I find something that can still shock me, I do prefer to keep those shocks of the fictional variety though wink

GAH!! The mental image just from reading your sentence about that one scene will likely stay rumbling around in my head for a while! stressed

Just got done reading Hannibal Rising. Very good indeed. Harris writes brilliantly, and while I think I prefer Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs, it was still most enjoyable ^_^

now i found the ending to Hannibal to be a little odd, wasn't sure what to make of it at all..
i'd be interested to read Hannibal Rising though, but i certainly wont be watching the film. No film does novels such as these justice, they're nearly all so keen for flashy special effects and missing out great chunks of storyline neutral

Yeah, it was very odd indeed >_<
I think perhaps Harris wasn't planning on doing more, and that (for Lecter) was almost a happy ending gonk
I knew they wouldn't end it like that in the film though XD In the film she tries to escape, handcuffs herself to him and he cuts off his own hand to get away. Cop out xp

yes i did a bit of shouting at the screen when i saw the film ending.
i did like when he sliced off the top of that idiot's head and fed him his own frontal lobes though, that amused me no end 3nodding
would be interesting to see Lecter on an episode of Ready Steady Cook twisted
