I wish I could help, haven't read any Cussler.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I just started The Hunger Games. Already crying...doesn't bode well.

I loved Inca Gold and Sahara too.

It gets better honest!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

@Bev, the writing is really good.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I've finished Psalter and started on Beneath the Dark Ice for the group read. Surely enjoying it so far.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Cool! I will try to start it soon. I'm working on The Hunger Games for another group read right now.

Keep the tissues handy.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I have some handy, mainly because of the bad cold I have, but they area also helping with the weepiness. It hurts to cry right now b/c of my sore throat (whine, whine)!

[Bev]

Just finished beneath the Dark Ice. Enjoyed it. Hope you feel better soon Danielle.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Me to...did you think to try Zicam? I hate colds.

[Lisa P, My weekend is all booked up!]

Hope you are feeling better soon Danielle!

[Mike]

Currently Quiet Ops and love it.

Still on "Beneath the Dark Ice."

Lady D, are you sure you don't have a computer virus, cause I got sick too. Stomach thing.

I have had that one - twice :(

Everybody's sick? I don't want to catch anything.

Feel better, everyone!!

I'm reading Where the Summer Ends: The Best Horror Stories of Karl Edward Wagner, Volume 1. Wow! Although I've read all these stories before, it's been a while & they're still blowing me away. The book was expensive, but worth it. The best news is I have Walk on the Wild Side: The Best Horror Stories of Karl Edward Wagner, Volume 2 to read next.

If I had all his Kane stories in one volume, I'd be in hog heaven, but I'll have to make do reading them in various books. I think I have them all. I'll look for a good list of them in chronological order & read them that way for a change. Anyone know of one?

Just added this to my to-read list, but Holy Pricetag Batman is it expensive!

Just looked too and yes they are!!

[Jim]

If you take a look at the cost of some of the used books with KEW's horror stories in them, you'll find out that 'Summer' & 'Wild Side' aren't badly priced. I've seen a used library copy of In a Lonely Place for $30, although today I see Amazon has one for $12. A new paperback is $275. To get KEW's complete stories piecemeal - if you can - I'll bet you'd spend a lot more than the $90 these 2 books cost. Also, some have been edited in some collections, I've heard.

Centipede Press isn't cheap, but have nice books, collections that are pretty rare. I usually treat myself to a couple of their books a year. Last year, I got 3; the two I've mentioned & the Paul Cain collection - the first of its kind, I believe.

Check out Centipede's scratch & dent sales, too. Jerad discounts them heavily for stuff I consider minor. I don't think there's a link to it on the web site, but it's here:

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone.

Hugh, I think it's going around big time.

Mike, I never think of taking the antivirals. My mom has me doing the home remedies (vapor rub, lemon and honey, cough drops, nebulizer), and I'm trying to rest, drink lots of fluids, and taking medicine. If I'm not better tomorrow, I'll probably go to the doctor.

As far as reading, I started Beneath the Dark Ice. Interesting so far.

[Jim]

I just finished Where the Summer Ends: The Best Horror Stories of Karl Edward Wagner, Volume 1. Wow! It's a 5 star read. My review is here:

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a.......wait that's not right.

Ok, ok you talked me into it. I have a couple of the Kane books already, so I just picked up Summer and Lonely Place used.

[Mark]

Lady Danielle aka The Book Huntress wrote: "I just started The Hunger Games. Already crying...doesn't bode well."

I think it's the just about the best genre book ever written, the other two aren't quite to the same standard, but it's a really high bar!

[Mark]

I just finished:

And I posted a review...

And I'm now about a third of the way into:

Cancel one of the two as there are too many duplicate stories. Where the Summer Ends: The Best Horror Stories of Karl Edward Wagner, Volume 1 &
In a Lonely Place have the same stories except the latter is lacking two; "Neither Brute Nor Human" & "Blue Lady, Come Back".

I don't know of another collection that comes close to gathering up what
Walk on the Wild Side: The Best Horror Stories of Karl Edward Wagner, Volume 2 has, so I'd highly suggest finding it.

My reviews list all the stories in them:
Summer: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Lonely Place: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Wild Side: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

That's ok, I knew they were close. I planned on giving one to a buddy of mine. Thanks anyway.

So THAT is where I caught this stomach thing! ;-D Or maybe an ear thing.

I am reading Galen's 'The Psalter'. Good book.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Glad to see Wagner back in print, Jim. Kinda pricy though!

[Jim]

Try buying one of KEW's old paperbacks, Lady D. I saw a used library HB of Why Not You And I? for $30. Pretty crazy.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Oh yeah. I was checking into used copies. Crazy indeed!

[Lee]

[Scott]

Finished Monster Hunter International. What an exciting ride.

Now I'm reading Mistborn: The Final Empire.

THeir all good 1 through 4. I really enjoyed Monster Hunter International. Great franchise.

Lee, I'm interested in how you like that one. I've been wanting to read The Cabinet of Curiosities for a while now.

[Ctgt]

I'll also be interested in what you think, Lee. I read this several months ago. I'll wait till you finish to comment any further.

Just started Raven Black, about 50 pages in and am really loving it! Thanks for the recommendation Bev!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I finished Beneath the Dark Ice late last night. It was good.

Currently reading Blue Remembered Earth and will start Play of Passion.

Are you going to continue the series? They keep getting better!

[Eileen]

Started Beneath The Dark Ice last night.

Bring your imaginary thermal underwear...it gets cold.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

You know how you sometimes have trouble finding an interesting book? Well, I have the opposite problem right now. I have 2 audio books going, Cold City and Invincible both of which are great and holding my attention and then I'm about halfway through Cursed and I'm into it also. I'm having trouble finding time to read the Jacka book. 3 books and I'm caught up in all of them.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Hey that's a good problem!

[Travis]

just finished A Clash of Kings starting A Storm of Swords Dracula and I, Robot

I'm always looking for good audio books I'll check those out.

All good books, Travis.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

The audios are both part of series Eileen. I've been burning through the Jack Campbell books. They've been on my "to be read" list for a while and I'm trying to get back to some of the books that have been waiting. Cold City is a prequel of the Repairman Jack books, actually the first in a trilogy of prequels.

[Scott]

Eileen wrote: "Are you going to continue the series? They keep getting better!"

Definitely. I'm just going to read some other stuff first.

I understand having books waiting to be read...they scream at me all the time..."I'm gathering dust, READ ME!" :-)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Me too... like The Rook in audiobook.

[Eileen]

Move it up! I know you'll enjoy it.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I keep hearing that I will. I also have 2 credits at Audiobile that I need to spend.
