Awesome, more money saving for me. sweatdrop *needs all I can get*
Yeah, maybe I should lower my rates.

*shoots, because devouring wouldn't help the situation*
Because shooting really sounds soooo much better and less perverted, right?. rolleyes
... Yes? >>
Then you lose at having a dirty mind.

Or I win at having a dirty mind.

Or both.
*burns the body*
Burns, aye? wink

Yeah yeah, I got nothing on that one. Just if I say it like that it still sounds dirty.

I want to go read something...any one want to suggest a novel to me?
Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk

Quote:
The consequences of media saturation are the basis for an urban nightmare in Lullaby, Chuck Palahniuk's darkly comic and often dazzling thriller. Assigned to write a series of feature articles investigating SIDS, troubled newspaper reporter Carl Streator begins to notice a pattern among the cases he encounters: each child was read the same poem prior to his or her death. His research and a tip from a necrophilic paramedic lead him to Helen Hoover Boyle, a real estate agent who sells "distressed" (demonized) homes, assured of their instant turnover. Boyle and Streator have both lost children to "crib death," and she confirms Streator's suspicions: the poem is an ancient lullaby or "culling song" that is lethal if spoken--or even thought--in a victim's direction. The misanthropic Streator, now armed with a deadly and uncontrollably catchy tune, goes on a minor killing spree until he recognizes his crimes and the song's devastating potential. Lullaby then turns into something of a road trip narrative, with Streator, Boyle, her empty-headed Wiccan secretary Mona, and Mona's vigilante boyfriend Oyster setting out across the U.S. to track down and destroy all copies of the poem.

In his previous works, including the cult favorite Fight Club, Palahniuk has demonstrated a fondness for making statements about the condition of humanity, and he uses Lullaby like a blunt object to repeatedly overstate his generally dim view. Such dogmatic venom undermines the persuasiveness of his thesis about mass communication and free will, but thankfully, Palahniuk offers some respite here by allowing for sympathy and love, as well as through his razor-sharp humor, such as his mock listings for Helen's possessed properties: "six bedrooms, four baths, pine-paneled entryway, and blood running down the kitchen walls...." At such moments, Lullaby casts a powerful spell. --Ross Doll --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams. -- Light fantasy, first book in a trilogy called Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. Superb read.

Wolfskin by Juliet Marillier -- Historical based light fantasy dealing with the norse population of what is now Scotland.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett -- The first book of twenty-something set in the Discworld, a highly satircal take on fantasy. Even if you aren't a huge fantasy buff, the series is worth it for the incredible humor and well-written stories. Another bonus? You don't need to read many of the books in order since it isn't a straight series, but has several subsets of books that deal with different groups within the Disc.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman -- A darkly humorous take on the upcoming Apocalypse.

People of the Wolf by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear -- Slightly fantastical take on the arrival of the first Native Americans to North America. The Gears, a married couple of Mesoamerican Archaeologists use reoccuring themes in Native American mythology as well as archaeological theories and evidence to form the base of their stories in this loose series, The First North Americans. I think Nabs and Kyle might like these books too.

The One Kingdom by Sean Russel Or The Initiate Brother by the same author. -- Sean Russel is a master of light fantasy with an emphasis on exploring the unknown or mysterious lost lore in his worlds. Superb reading. The One Kingdom is in a western middle-ages setting while The Initiate Brother is in what feels like mythic China.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman -- Just plain awesome.

Beyond the Pale by Mark Anthony

Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

The Shadow of Ararat by Thomas Harlan

Black Sun Rising by C.S. Friedman

The Middle Kingdom by David Wingrove

I'd go into more of them... but my space key is dying...

Night by Elie Wisel, it's a short book but it's a biography on Elie's childhood inside the concentration camps, it's very, very haunting.
