    'Something Wicked This Way Comes' by Ray Bradbury. It matches the way my mind is working at the moment. Lots of discriptives, not much sense, off kilter, but interesting enough to keep me going.

    Passage at Arms by Glen Cook. People have been hounding me to read it for months, as apparently it's the most militarily accurate science fiction book ever written. Time will tell.

    Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

    Ok, a short time back I posted what I was reading but I realized that there are 3 books I read before I stumbled into this forum which I don't think are widely read but I recommend them for too many reasons to list. They are:
    So Long See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell
    and Stoner and Butcher's Crossing by John Williams
    "Call me Ishmael"

    I went to my Mothers this last weekend and out of the blue is a sailboat in her yard. It used to be owned and raced by Gerry Speiss!

    There is not one natural lake in the county she lives in. What are the chances? That weekend was full of coincidences. LOL

    That is a great book, imho. Read it first time when i was 16 years or so and thought it was really good horror book. Unlike any other story.
    Years later i've read it again and found that there are so many diffrent yet crossing levels. So not only a horror book but youcan find many other styles and stories feom it as well. Interesting characters.
    Sort of a masterpiece that book is.
