now youre speeking my language do you read any marvel titles currently
or any others
my fav comics would have to be my spiderman and incredible hulks and
xmen i mustve collected so many spiderman books i always liked how life
just kept treatin him like crap and he kept right on doing the right
thing

yes lionsbrew, x-men is my favorite from them all, and wasn't dare devil
a marvel? fire starter? i aggree with u about spidy, he never gives up.
got a ? for ya though, cuz i have been discussing this with someone
else...venom...wasn't it a virus that broke out somehow and infected
spiderman making him become venom or was he his arch double nemesis/a
completely different being?

I have to agree with the Dune series. The complexity and thoroughness
of Herbert's universe-making is unrivaled. If you can find a copy,
Honey, try to pick up the unfortunately out-of-print Dune Encyclopedia.
My copy cost me more than fiddy on ebay but the entry on the wines of
Caladan alone justified the expense. I'm the type who geeks out over
detail, though. Anyone who thinks Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson
should be dragged from their homes and horsewhipped gets my vote for
president. Just throwing that out there.

Also, since sci-fi seems to be the thread here, don't forget William
Gibson. "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" by Heinlein is a lot of fun,
too.

For crimefic fans, DO NOT miss John Sandford's Prey books. I cannot
stress this enough.

To those rare afficionados of literatoor proper, my highest
recommendation goes to "The Great American Novel" by Philip Roth.
That's some good stuff.

Venom is a sentient puddle of black goo from outer space.

I tried to read Brian Herbert's first book. He does not has the gift.
To me he ruined the name of Dune. The original 3 then second trilogy for
a total of 6 books by Frank Herbert are the best lit on the planet.

It takes a great author to keep me reading a fiction book. I mostly
read non fiction. I am dyslexic so it takes alot of effort to read a
book. It took me 2 months to read Dune but I was working and did not
have alot of spare time. The next 2 took me about a month each. My
exwife could read a book that size in a day or 2. So if I read it is
normally to learn something and not for pure enjoyment. Dune series was
the only books that were hard for me to put down. I lost sleep to read
those books. Most books I never make it past the first chapter.

but, venom eventually over took spidy didn't it? making them one.

Yeah, until it moved on to Eddie Brock.

yeah, i like dune too.
the complexity of it, you get layers more each time you read it.

very well-crafted.

i still read the 'house' (eg. house harkonen, etc) series after it.

though not as good as frank's stuff, it wasnt that bad....

thanks, i thought so, did yall know that they are putting a spiderman
comic in every sunday paper. we're on volume 4 or 5.

no i didnt know that .....wow all have to look in the next one....whos
your fav xman i always liked the big blue brainy beast myself

it's hard to say because they all were my favorite, beast was always my
mom's favorite, love professor x. but, if i have to choose it would be a
toss up between storm and rouge, liked pheonix(?)too. do u watch any
animae? vampire hunter d, blood reign and ghost in the shell was really
good. there is one that i have called blood 2, i've been having the
hardest time trying to find the first one.

what did you think of the movies ...i thought they were pretty good i
havent got to see the third one yet though

the x-men or the spiderman movies? well, either or i loved both of both
of them and no i haven't seen either of the third of them. can't wait
til i do though. i seen where the second one was taking both of them and
knew imidately(?) there was going to be a third.

spiderman 3 comes out next summer i think

WELL.... BACK TO THE SUBJECT....
WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS, BY WILSON RAWLES

dont you think the comics are way better than the movies?

onscreen all my favourite characters like colosseus comes out really
flat...

yeah i always liked colosus i wanted to see swartzenger play him if they
woulda done a movie in the eghties always like the comics better too
cause the story is in a constant state of motion.

humm try the left behind series is good.
