Well...I've used the 16 (and it was the M16 1A which had a few warts). I haven't read the book yet so I don't know...but if they're packed right and you have anyone who knows the weapon, they could be put back in firing shape in pretty short order. Depends. If the people who find them don't know the rifle it would be another thing... Still, whatever.

I've put off starting The Strain to... I figure there will be sequels there also. :)

[Jason]

I felt that The Strain was much better.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

I'm reading , and I really like it so far.

Finished The Fall of Hyperion. Terrific read which is basically the 2nd half of Hyperion. The 2nd book gives loads of information that completes the events of the first book. I was told that I need to read the whole series to really complete it, but I need to take a break. I am definitely a Dan Simmons fan now. I will be reading his other books, in particular Carrion Comfort.

Starting Stingers, a whimsical thriller about a pre-teen girl who turned her father's failed experiment into a Sound Shooter, a sound device that enables her to subliminally manipulate people.

Danielle that is on my list for this month! I am glad you are liking it.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Regina, I think you'll enjoy it.

It really is a great series. It's possible that you're just not in the mood for it right now. I know that happens with me sometimes. I'll start a book, can't get into it and pick it up later (sometimes years later) and simply love it.
Of course there are the rare ones that are no good no matter how much time has passed! -grin-

[Robert]

I love the Black Company books as well. Great series. I like it right from the beginning, personally :)

[Maggie]

I just received my Amazon shipment...The Blade Itself and then Cold Hand in Mine. I havent read Aikman before so I am kind of excited to get to it.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I read a tale of The Black Company in Swords & dark Magic. It was...ok. I got the impression that "The Lady" was evil, which makes me hesitate. I love a good military tale but I prefer soliders who think as well as follow orders.

[Robert]

Oh, the Black Company characters do plenty of that. They're not all about following orders :)

[Eileen]

just starting reading Perdido Street Station () and This Side of the Grave

[Aloha]

Hey, Eileen, you're here, too? I thought you were only at horrors and PNR.

[Eileen]

I've been here awhile. Just not a lot of time to chat lately. So I thought I'd read this month's read and get back into the discussion.

[Jason]

I love that title. Cold Hand in Mine. It speaks of...terrible things...LOL

[Maggie]

Jason wrote: "I love that title. Cold Hand in Mine. It speaks of...terrible things...LOL"

I thought the same thing!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I read Cold Hand in Mine long ago, but it's not fresh in my mind...I plan to re-read. :)

[Aloha]

Finished Stingers.

Starting We Have Always Lived in the Castle. All I can say is "Wow!" from her very first words. This is what I consider literature, when an author is masterful with the usage of words to paint an atmosphere. This is a short book and I can see myself salivating for every word.

[Robert]

Aloha - if you've never read The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson, you should try that one next. It is also excellent :)

[Jason]

Aloha, I'll be starting Castle soon, too, for our HA read. I leant out my Kindle and am waiting for the damn thing back...LOL

[Dawn]

I read Hill House and liked it.. But then I tried Hell House after that and liked it soooo much more. It kind of damaged my opinion of Hill House, but I still want to try the Castle book eventually.

[Robert]

Hell House is Matheson, right? Good writer.

[Dawn]

Yep. I really want to read more by him, it was really good. Damn my huge TBR list! Someday...

[Dawn]

As for what I'm currently reading.. I finished the Dark Tower series this month, LOVED it. The ending is still haunting me. Near the end I spent one late night laying in bed, unable to sleep, hugging my pillow and crying. And for the record, I'm not big on the whole water works thing usually.... So let's all pretend I didn't just say that, cool? :)

Now I'm reading Magician: Master for a group read/discussion (it's a re-read), and I'm really enjoying it so far.

After Magician, I'm either going to try The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms or Heart-Shaped Box. Hell, I'll probably just do both, I just need to decide which to do first.

[mark]

i LOVED The Passage. one of the best things i read last year. at least i think it was last year.

also love Cold Hand in Mine, and robert aickman in general.

[Chris]

I might read The Passage again.

I've read a collection of her nonhorror stories and loved them too :). Jacksons just all around awesome!

Don't forget to read the Dark Tower Graphic novels! They tell you more about the world and i hear he'll be going back with another book as well!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I just got The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born from the library (it joins 10 other public library books I need to finish).

I've joked that the answer to the questioning title of this thread pops into my mind as "a book" often. I think the true answer would be...a lot of books, all at once!

[Dawn]

Amanda wrote: "Don't forget to read the Dark Tower Graphic novels! They tell you more about the world and i hear he'll be going back with another book as well!"

I've already read the first one, and the others are on route to me as we speak. I had to own them all! :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

It's a graphic and I'm pretty much through it. The art's nice and it fills in a few details but it's basically the story we knew from the novels. I sent to the library for the next. I sort of hoped for a little more story background and "such", fill in some of the blanks and cracks left open so to speak.

I thought that too but I learned via the SK group on here that the later graphic novels have more detail than the first.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'll try to stay with them...but I note the library doesn't have the third. I may go slow about buying. LOL

[Aloha]

Thanks, R. Scott. I'm hooked on Jackson's writing now. I will have to read her THHH.

I hope you get your Kindle back soon, Jason. So much to read with no Kindle! Poor thing.

[Aloha]

I just got a bunch of Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. They are awesome!

[Aloha]

Darn! I've joined too many groups. A lot of people have been friending me since I rejoined the SciFi and Fantasy Book Club. I've been seeing what groups they belong to and started joining those groups. Now, I can't keep up with them all, so I've been very delayed in responding to posts. Sorry, guys.

[Jason]

Yay, I got my Kindle back tonight! And you're right, Aloha, I have a ton to read.

[Aloha]

All's well with the world! Congrats, Jason.

[Jason]

Feels like getting my clothes back. Lol

[Christine]

Finally starting Monster Hunter International

[[deleted user]]

Hope you enjoy it Christine :) It's a great book

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I like it.

[[deleted user]]

lol @ Aloha. I'm so deprived apparently. I'm still only a member of F.A. :) I guess I should branch out

[Christine]

Grant wrote: "Hope you enjoy it Christine :) It's a great book"

Its starting out pretty exciting so I am sure to like it.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I'm starting Monster Hunters Int'l just now, too.

[Aloha]

What actually happened was I had a couple of days where I had to focus, so I digested everything. I'm slowly undigested my favorite areas. I forgot to undigest this one because some areas are hidden when you go to the main page. I wonder whether I would visit those new forums I joined again after saying my intro. Never know when I want to know about ancient civilization.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

I finished Geist and loved it except for the ending...but the ending makes (somewhat) some sense considering that there are 3 more books in the series.

I (finally) started on Monster Hunter International. I think that this one have to be read by hubby - he's an auditor and the primary character here is an accountant. :-)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I just bought Geist...hope I don't regret it!
