It took me forever to approach some kind of thematic understanding...then I just stopped trying and decided to like it simply for the badass story that it is. It's a short story and I highly recommend it. A friend of mine to whom I lent it began reading it before he went to bed one night and stayed up the entire night reading it. He came into work the next day bleary-eyed and we talked about it for an entire day. Good times.<br /><br />What's scary is that King wrote the first story in that series (forget the name, don't feel like looking it up...a kid holds his entire classroom hostage) when he was in his teens. He was brilliant before he was even old enough to vote. It's a shame most of the endings to his longer novels could suck the barnacles off a whale cock, though.Boninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-61349364211472649822010-11-02T19:18:24.584-04:002010-11-02T19:18:24.584-04:00Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan is MUST READ fo...Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan is MUST READ for sci-fi fans.

Out of all the DVDs in my collection there are a few that I watch over and over: Fight Club, Day of the Jackal, Lawrence of Arabia, Beau Travail, Groundhog Day, (and a few I won't mention in present company). <br /><br />Talking of Christian Bale, have you seen him in 'Rescue Dawn'? Its the true story of Dieter Dengler, the only American in the Vietnam War to escape from enemy prison and make it through the jungle back to safety. Now there's a tough hombre. There's also a documentary on him called 'Little Dieter Needs to Fly".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835524249360195666.post-14467321284304303632010-11-02T12:14:42.444-04:002010-11-02T12:14:42.444-04:00Peter- repeated listening to Genesis will drive an...Peter- repeated listening to Genesis will drive anyone insane.<br /><br />As for Battle Royale, it was not nearly as overrated as Leaves of Grass, but it was still pretty overrated.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of Drake in small doses- kind of like Warhammer books.
