    John Dies at the End by David Wong - 5 fucking stars! One of the best and funniest books I have ever read. This is also one of the craziest/weirdest books I have ever read and I highly recommend this to anyone who likes laughing and being freaked out at the same time. There's some pretty creepy shit in there along with a lot of hilarious one-liners and a bit of drama as well. Really awesome read.

    Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan - 10/10. A really good story that is written extremely well, I cannot wait for Broken Angels to arrive at Exclusive Books so I continue the story of Takeshi Kovacs. If this book is anything to go buy then Crysis 2 is gonna have one hell of a story to tell.

    Hm,
    A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgress.
    Seriously this book is soo much better than the crappy movie which in most cases is always the case.
    Enjoyed it from start to finish, loved the dialect and russian slang (i.e nadsat) and unique plot. This truly is a classic.
    10/10

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Some of the good old psychological horror short stories of the great H.P Lovecraft. This man is a genius! Loved his themes of fantasy, science fiction and the inabilty the human mind the comprehend the horror of celestial beings that transcend the peripheries of time itself.
    Short stories include - Call of The cthulhu, Behind the wall of sleep, Necronomicon, Dagon, Polaris, The Rats in the walls etc.
    I love this dude..even though he was a Racist Nazi lol.
    9/10

    Wanna try Catcher in the rye... Have you guys read it? What did you think about it?

    Busy with David Icke - Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster. Ok so far. I love conspiracy stuff.

    Then also, Bret Harts' "My real life in the cartoon world of wrestling" is an awesome all time fave of mine. Goes way behind the scenes of the 90's WWF biz and goings on...a lot that viewers did not know at the time. Easily give it a 10! Story's awesome and if you were a fan of the "sport" (yes, i know it's fake) at the time, well worth it.

    Richard Morgan is writing for Crysis 2?! Awesome news! I've got all of his books, and apart from The Steel Remains I've loved all of them.

    As for rating the last book I read: the Old Man's War trilogy by John Scalzi is in my top ten of sci-fi writers next to Iain M. Banks, Neal Stephenson, Peter F. Hamilton, Robert A. Heinlein, and Frank Herbert. 9/10

    LOL, your username suddenly makes a lot of sense Why didn't you like Steel Remains? I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that a lot of people who love his other books don't like it.

    I don't read much, but I have taken a liking to listening to audiobooks while driving, since most of my trips are 4-9hrs long.

    I've just finished the following Dean Koontz titles and thought they were pretty cool!

    Relentless 8/10

    Book critic is critical!

    Velocity 9/10

    A barman goes off duty and finds a note stuck to his car "Get the police involved in this I will kill an elderly woman active in social work. If you don't get the police involved in this I will kill a beautiful young school teacher." What do you do?

    Then the Odd Thomas series 9/10 was my favourite:

    Odd Thomas
    Forever Odd
    Brother Odd
    Odd Hours

    You really grow attached to the main character who lives a quiet life as a short order fry cook with the unique ability to see dead people.
