Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 603 comments Thanks, Rick.


message 1002: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments I looked for Insidious on Netflix too. Wasn't there...lol. I thought part 2 was pretty good, even with all the cliché's. I enjoyed it. Really liked the dice. I jumped in a few of the scenes, so that's a good sign. Made me think of Poltergeist, but more modern version.


message 1003: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments Anyone plan on watching Carrie? I'm pretty excited for it! I feel like I should read the book though and watch the original.


message 1004: by Adam (new)

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 603 comments I am stoked because Julianne Moore is in the remake of Carrie. She rocks! I have seen the original several times and read the book twice. I am good on that. It is a simple plot.


message 1005: by Rick (new)

Rick Shepard I'm guessing Julianne Moore is going to play either Carrie's mother or the teacher at school? I'm was a big fan of Piper Laurie, but we are talking about Julianne Moore!


message 1006: by Adam (new)

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 603 comments She is playing Carrie's mom, Rick.

☆Joycedale☆ | 307 comments I didn't know they was remaking carrie. When's it due out?

Getting ready to head to my 4 yr olds soccer game then to the library, I've had some books come in :)


message 1008: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) I thought the preview for the Carrie remake looked well made, but really don't see the point of it. So many other tales to be told, and the original was quite good already.

Lina (booksnotlovers) Watching Rock of Ages on Netflix and writing an essay for school. Most awesome saturday ever (enormous irony)

I had to break down and buy me an electronic cigarette today, but the liquid I have is 0 mg of nicotine.

I've been seeing lots of ads for electronic cigarettes. If it helps you quit smoking, it's a great investment!


message 1013: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm watching the Green Bay game on mute in an attempt to make a lot of progress in A Conspiracy of Paper. Plugging away!


message 1014: by ☆Joycedale☆ (new)

☆Joycedale☆ | 307 comments Making potato salad. My bestie decided our families need to get together for one last bbq b4 its cold.


message 1015: by [deleted user] (new)

Going to check on my son. He is starting to get depressed over the car wreck and not being able to work.


message 1016: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Enjoyed watching the Panthers dominate a game for once. Went to an art festival in the park, heading out to a birthday dinner for a friend.

Lina (booksnotlovers) Laying on the sofa listening to a childrens audio book! It's so enjoyable


message 1018: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments Lol. Just ran to my parents house so I could get a connection on my kindle so a book would download. Things I do in the name of books:)

They really can be if you enjoy the voice. I had a lot of fun listening to His Dark Materials (His Dark Materials #1-3) by Philip Pullman .

Getting tired and hurting really bad again. Guess I'm gonna give up on reading here shortly and make an attempt at bed.

Buenas Noches, mi amiga.


message 1022: by [deleted user] (new)

I am reading for about 30 minutes and then have some things to do. Will be home earlier tonight and plan to finish A Conspiracy of Paper. Wasn't a good day pain wise, but certainly wasn't as bad as last night and for that I am grateful.


message 1023: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Just got home from a fresh haircut. Ran into a Salvation Army store, a goodwill store, and a homegrown bookstore I came across as I travelled today, but the only thing I found was No Sanctuary No Sanctuary by Richard Laymon for $1.

The UBS had The Long Lost by Ramsey Campbell The Long Lost by Ramsey Campbell, but the reviews weren't so hot so I took a pass on that one.

It's good to have No Sanctuary for the Laymon collection, but I found it to be a terrible mess. It was released posthumously and it shows.

I just saw your review. Should've checked. Oh well, it was only a dollar, and Laymon is someone I wouldn't mind be a completist with in my collection.


message 1026: by Adam (new)

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 603 comments I am glad to have it for my ever growing Laymon collection. I have about a dozen paperbacks and hope to find them all. I got another copy of Body Rides at a thrift store for .50 the other day. Along with Savage and After Midnight. They had a couple others I already have, too. I seem to be finding his books everywhere lately.


message 1027: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments You should hand over Body Rides Adam...lol. I don't have it.

Ok. I think it was Evans that mentioned the tales from the crypt sale. It was on sale on amazon too, so I got it! Thanks for the heads up! I couldn't refuse!


message 1028: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Let me know how you like it, Addy.
Adam let me borrow his copy of BODY RIDES. I was gonna give it back!

Have you read BODY RIDES, Addy?


message 1031: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Got some great dollar paperbacks in Greenville today, picked up Off Season Off Season by Jack Ketchum , Intensity by Dean Koontz Intensity, Midnight Sun by Ramsey Campbell Midnight Sun, Moon by James Herbert Moon, and Strange Highways Strange Highways by Dean Koontz . Been looking for a good deal on the first and last one for a while.


message 1032: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments No, I haven't. But it looked good. I don't think it has an e version yet.


message 1033: by [deleted user] (new)

As always, a great haul Evans. You have got to be one of the luckiest people in the world when it comes to picking up good deals on books. I am reading for a while and going to bed. Hoping the pace picks up soon. Reading Sinner.


message 1034: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Haven't read any Decker before, Cindy. Pretty good?
As far as my used book finds go, for every good one I get, I've probably waded through a thousand others. I travel a good bit down back country roads and small towns lately, and have developed a highly refined second sense for finding thrift stores and used bookstores. I can get in, scan, and back out in about 5 minutes. Half the fun is the thrill of the hunt! As far as hobbies go, it's pretty affordable and I love to read what I get, so there's really no downside.
Enjoy your evening. :-)


message 1035: by [deleted user] (new)

Dekker is really good. And unique! Thanks, and you have a great evening also. My day was pretty good.


message 1036: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Glad to hear it. Talking about Laymon has got me in the mood for something fun. Gonna start THE WOODS ARE DARK (uncut). Found it at the library, must be fate.

How is your mom doing Evans? Hope things are a little better.


message 1038: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Everyone is doing much better, thanks. Fingers crossed for continued health and good fortune, because apparently I'm next in line!

Huh? You got me on that one.


message 1040: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) How's your son doing?


message 1041: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Oh, next in line? Well, mom sick, Adam had his scare, then Adam's wife broke her foot... So I figured it's Final Destination Light Style, and I'm next! :-)


message 1042: by [deleted user] (new)

He's depressed. Had to get an attorney and fighting like hell with people at work. They don't want to pay his short-term disability and they don't want him on FMLA. Only gave him two days to return the papers for FMLA and I'm fairly certain that is not legal. I told him to let his attorney take care of it.


message 1043: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Definitely want to get legal assistance on that one. Hope things take a turn for the better soon.


message 1044: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks and I'm so glad your mom is better.

Oooh, yeah, I've had that eBook for about a year and still haven't got around to reading it. That might good scary one to read for Halloween.


message 1046: by [deleted user] (new)

I have to be somewhere at 5:15 p.m. but I'm gonna attempt to read a little for the next 30 minutes or so. Hope everyone is having a great day.


message 1047: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments In the mood for a laymon book myself. I'm thinking about Resurrection Dreams since I picked it up today.

Also, I got my tales from the crypt animated version so I thought my son and I could watch but he fell asleep early...oh well. I guess I'm good company...lol.


message 1048: by Adam (new)

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 603 comments I would like to read a good Laymon. I was thinking Funland or Endless Night. Or Any of them. Resurection Dreams sounds good, too.


message 1049: by Evans (new)

Evans Light (evanslight) Love to hear if he likes them, Addy. Laymon is always great. I'm looking for the next one, too.


message 1050: by Addy (new)

Addy | 379 comments Funland is one of my faves! Pick that one! Its good!
