What are your favorite books?

I really liked Snyders run on Batman, own that whole run of court of owls through the end of that one. Favorites though are TDKR, the long Halloween, hush, the killing joke, year one.

Those are some of my favorites too! If you have a library card they have apps now you can download graphic novels for free. I'm reading Allstar Superman right now.

 

[nicksox15]

Yep, I usually check out ones I'm on the fence about at the library! My daughter loves going there so I re up pretty often. I have a kindle fire, never thought about digitially checking those out, will look into it!

 

[lifted67]

I have a kindle fire as well, the app is named Hoopla for my library, but of course you can't use it for Kindle, ugh

 

[nicksox15]

Ahh, I think I might give it a go with my iPad, bigger screen for that. Love the fire for books though. I guess also nerdy is I love Stephen King books, also read all of lord of the rings

 

[lifted67]

Tolkien, Martin, Stephen King, and Michael Crighton fan here.

 

[nicksox15]

Did you read Dr Sleep yet?

 

[nicksox15]

Yessir! Really enjoyed it

 

[lifted67]

Me too, it's rumored to be made into a movie.

 

[nicksox15]

I hope it does, it reads quite cinematic if that makes sense. Although King doesn't have the best luck with adaptations besides shawshank and green mile

 

[lifted67]

Pet Semetary was good, but yeah nothing compares to Stand By Me, Green Mile, and of course Shawshank!

When I was a kid I played the **** out of some Diablo 2 lol. I broke my elbow and blew out my knee in 6th grade so I stayed home and played some good ole D2.

I rarely play any video games now. Occasionally I'll play a game or two of COD but I don't even have a system anymore. Gave my PS4 to my brother and Xbox 360 to sister/niece.

Bought 11/22/63 for my mom at half price books (paid $5 for hardcover. Brand new ). She loved it.

Pet Semetary was a good movie unless you read the book. IT was good, IMO. Unsure about remake. Green Mile/Stand By Me are classics.

I enjoyed the Shining and Rose Red as well.

This, played so much lol

 

[lifted67]

All great books/movies/games; they've been kicking around a Pet Semetary remake for a few years now. I really hope they do It justice, because It's on of my favs.. Top 3 are It, the Stand, and Salem's Lot but honestly I love all those books.

 

[Woody]

Have you seen the new clown for IT? Kinda creepy but I hope they don't turn it into a modern day blood and gore CGI weaksauce movie

Me either!!! That actor is pretty good though, I watched him in Hemlock Grove on Netflix.

 

[nicksox15]

I read IT in 6th grade. F'd me up for a bit, lol.

 

[Driven2lift]

On book nerdiness I score alright,

I owned all the Goosebumps in elementary, great series for light reading youth.

I didn't bump up to Steven King until grade 6/7 but got into and read dozens

I rarely read the genre now though, my bookshelf is mainly full of historical novels (ranging from 20th century American to BC Mongolia)

Then textbooks (I still actually buy second hand UWO texts every few years to stay current) mostly chemistry, and now a growing number on physiology and sports science.

Fiction makes up the rest, and most enjoyable to read.
LotR has been a love since grade 5/6
Including the Hobbit, Similarion, Unfinished Tales, and some messily compiled works of Tolkien

Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire pulled me in hard as well, though the books > the show

 

[lifted67]

I read the Shinning in 5th grade and like an idiot wrote redrum on scrap paper to try the mirror thing, well a teacher found it and I got called on the prinicpal's office with both parents!

 

[Driven2lift]

Lol I think in my school it was "bloody mary" that got some kids suspended for scaring others

 

[lifted67]

After reading Salem's Lot I made wooden stakes for my under my bed, just in case, (sad thing is that was last month)

 

[Driven2lift]

To be safe, naturally.

Under your bed:
Wooden stakes, silver bullets, a crucifix, a UV light unit, a sword

Around the room:
Garlic, salt line, holy water in the sprinkler systems.

Just the basics

 

[lifted67]

See you get it lol

[Woody]

Isn't Lost Boys with Keifer Sutherland a SK novel?

Never mind it is not. Swing and a miss
Driven2lift I agree that books > show for GOT. Like 1000000000% better

Are they in storage or displayed somehow?

That would look so cool to see them all I'm sure

I am a fan of good horror, I shall reserve judgement

The original was a good one among many, many bad horror releases.

My largest qualm with titles over more recent years is substituting out clever twist and suspense for gore.

Gore is not scary.
It just bores me, and bothers me to know how much of the budget went into that alone.

Not a Saw series fan here


I want a new original evil.
Give me a new monster to rival Frankenstein and Dracula.
Give me a story I can get into

In boxes in my closet. My girls love going through them and sorting.

 

[lifted67]

The guy who directed Mama is doing the It remake so it may be good. Torture porn is just pointless to me though not a fan of that.

Well... You know... We all have our favorites.

I know, for whatever reason I'm just more of a fan of super natural horror.

 

[FireTitan]

I watch, and never miss The Walking Dead, and threaten bodily harm to any and all that may obscure my view of the tv. Oh, and I love conspiracy theories!

 

[ryane87]

Online gaming particularly fps. Battlefield all day everyday. I miss playing as the only internet I have is my phone because I do not get internet in BFE. The only thing I ever rage at. Man video games piss me off sometimes. Haha
