OH NO YOU ARE NOT MA'AM...lol I wanted to run out into oncoming traffic after I saw this at the theater. My ex-wife was openly weeping as we exited the theater, I wanted the three hours of my life back that had just been stolen. Still can't listen to Celine Dion and I'd never been so happy to see closing credits in my life.
Is this the one where he bit someone's tongue off?Started Midnight Express by Billy Hayes. It was the basis for a rather scandalous film back in the late 70's starring Brad Davis. Midnight Express (1978) - IMDb

Could be as I've never seen the film all the way through, just bits and pieces (like that guy's tongue ).I think it is.

Yes it is.It's actually a heartbreaking movie. Poor guy.
I loved the Silo trilogy.Dust by Hugh Howey. The last part in the trilogy, i'm curious to see how it ends..
Good to see you!I loved the Silo trilogy.
Anyone who loves Sci-fi should give them a try imo
Been a while since I have posted on here, I finished DROOD by Simmons. I thought it started slow but soon had me lapping up the Dickensian London tale, I read the second half of the book in one sitting!
I followed that up with Sphere by Crichton. This is the first Crichton book I have read and now I really want to read Jurassic Park! I only read it as I finished Drood at work and had nothing to read, so grabbed this from the charity stall we have in the hospital reception. Great book, fast paced and easy reading.
Then I read Artemis by Andy Weir, I haven't read The Martian (I did love the film though) and saw the signed limited edition for £12.99, so thought it would be rude not to buy it at that price. Good, solid story, loved the lead character...it did get a bit too science-y in places for me, but still enjoyed it!
Next up was a recommendation from a Goodreads friend - The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp.
I had never heard of either the book or the author in all honesty but my friend could not stop singing it's praises. I checked Amazon and it was £1.60 (ish) for the kindle version and thought I had nothing to lose. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this, great to have something come out of nowhere and literally wow you. Any lover of horror fiction should give this a go, especially if you can get it at the low price. Mixing old horror tropes into something a bit more modern, cleverly written, I hated, loved and despaired for Jack!! Recommended!
And now I find myself (finally) starting The Passage by Cronin.
So far, so very good. Really liking his writing style, just made it to part 2 and loving it!!
Hope everyone is well?!
