I've owned the first one since it came out in paperback, I got about half way through it and got distracted and never picked it back up. I've been meaning to start reading it again but I've been lazy about it. I think I'll do that now, thanks!

I just gave my girlfriend The Thief Of Always, it was one of the first fairytailish books he wrote and she's really digging it.

The only ones I haven't read are Mr.Bgone, need to pick that one up, Abbarat 1&2, and Weaveworld. I own Weaveworld, but it's a first edition so I didn't want to break the spine, and I'm waiting for CB to do a horrorcon/reading in the area so I can get it signed!

Clive Barker is easily my favorite author.

if you can, try to get the illustrated versions of the Abarat books btw, Clive Barker apparently spent ages drawing the many, many paintings in those books, and they really add something to the experience imo :]

You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers. It got absolutely atrocious reviews, but that book sure grabbed my attention fast. The whole idea of it just left me fascinated.

Starship Troopers is like the most boring book you could post, Rudeboy, lol. A good book, but a really boring one nonetheless.

That's odd, I had trouble putting the book down.

Anything by Michael Crichton is full of win

Same here, but at the same time I had trouble staying awake.

An odd paradox...
