The Dark Iceland series by Ragnar Jonasson. "Snow Blind" "Night Blind" "Blackout" "Rupture." Some great reads and a chance to be introduced to places like the town of Siglufjordur.

Moved on to Thief Of Time, another Discworld book
Found an autographed copy of this at Goodwill, bought it and read it. It's a fascinating and terrifying true account of one family's time in Berlin while Hitler was rising in power.
Let us know what you think of it. I loved it!
There's an article about the 'creepy clown craze' in this month's Fortean Times magazine, there's a picture of the novel It, and mention other stuff.
Will do! I'm enjoying it so far
I loved Flowers for Algernon. It's been a long long time since I read it so now you have me wondering if it would have the same impact all these years later. Let us know how you feel when you finish your second read

Halfway through...I wish I didn't know how it ends though.
Keep the tissues handy.
Finished SLEEP PARALYSIS by Patrick Lacey, then read BODY ART by Kristopher Triana (Imagine the crazy mutativeness of say, THE BRIDGE by John Skipp & Craig Spector set on a porno shoot.) After that I read DEAD AIR by Matthew Bartlett.
Currently reading, THE NIGHTLY DISEASE by Max Booth III.

How to spot a passive-aggressive type on the internet.
I am reading a collection of Ray Bradbury stories and poems. I can tell he was a big fan of Laurel and Hardy. I am truly enjoying these stories. Wonderful writing.
