| Theres this really good book... Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Its like an adventure/fantasy novel about this one guy who... Umm... Well its been a while sense I finshed the book. But its really great! Neil Gaiman is a good author, but sometimes he can be a pervert. Like in his other novels, the depictions of 'the act' were too much for me, so I had to stop reading. But Neverwhere isn't like those other books, so buy it right now! |

Neverwhere is great but American Gods is better.  Anyway, I'll recommend what I'm reading right now which is The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath by H.P. Lovecraft. To sum it up on one word: amazing. They don't write books like these anymore. :/ |

| Keeping with the EU, if you've got a lot of time to kill, you could try the New Jedi Order, it's 17 books. | |||

| If you want to read a really good Jungian bunch of books read the "Deptford Trilogy" by Robertson Davies. Micheal Ondaatje's "The English Patient" is a really neat little read. James Joyce "Ulysses". I have so many books to suggest but not enough time to think of them all. |

| DaVinci Code - Dan Brown Dreamcatcher - Stephen King The Stand - Stephen King It - Stephen King Any John Irving stuff The Last Jury - John Grisham The Hannibal Lecter trilogy (better than the movies IMO) |

| Not exactly the MOST recent of books, but anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. or Anthony Burgess. You know the latter for A Clockwork Orange. If you don't loathe sports, Ball Four by Jim Bouton's pretty good. Pissed off the commish, owners, and players but good by telling it how it was. |

| The Discworld Series - Terry Pratchett (nearly 30 books there to choose from - I'd suggest "Mort" myself) The Red Dwarf Series - Rob Grant and Doug Naylor The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy (of Five) by Douglas Adams Battle Royale by Koushun Takami (Awesome book, better than the film) The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper (A but of fantasy mixed in with some Celtic Mythology) |

| NS Nick - Well the book upon which the film is based goes into MUCH more detail about each of the students in turn, their motivations,, what causes them to act the way they do and the program itself. It's much more graphic too. It's easy to follow if you've seen the film because only the name of the bloke in charge has been changed (all the students are called the same). If you can't stomach the book (as it's pretty long) then you could go for the Manga which follows the book much closely than the film. Which version of the film did you see? The Special edition is excellent with the additional scenes in it. Oh and the Battle Royale 2 film is nowhere near as good as it's predecessor. |

| I'm not sure what version. Probably the most basic one. Someone had downloaded it- it was subtitled. And I don't really remember the characters' names, since I only saw it once, and we were drinking and talking through parts of it. | |||

| Don't listen to Cornellius, I've read all of those books. They stink. Okay, Red Dragon in the Hannibal Lector series is pretty cool, but Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs are pretty lame. And DA VINCI CODE? Gah. That is terrible. Grow some testes and read a good critique of the Roman Catholic Church. Hitler's Pope is a really good read. Oh, if you enjoy comics - it is difficult to find in the States - but well worth it...The book Louis Riel by Chester Brown. It's a lovely hard-cover comic book retailing for just over 22 dollars US. Absolutely brilliant retelling of one of the many Canadian rebels following the Confederation of 1867. |

Originally posted by Dark Vampriel I, too, am a big fan of the series. Did you read Blood Canticle yet? I have it but I haven't gotten around to reading it at this moment in time. Oh, and that's "The Tale of the Body Thief".  |
