Want a really trippy read along the lines of Neil Gaiman?

In Silent Graves by Gary A. Braunbeck.

It's a horror thriller that I happened upon and was completely unable to put down. The visual imagery is very unique and the writer's imagination is spellbinding. Really grabs you.

Read some of the reviews in the link to get a better idea..... they are obviously better at reviewing a book than I am.

Anyway, check it out.... It's a one of a kind book....

I really liked Cormac McCarthy's "No Country For Old Men". If you haven't read any of his stuff before, this is a good one to start with.

Not very high brow, but I'm currently reading "Velocity" by Koontz.

I've have finished every Grisham I can find...

I've got an unusual situation of having two books going now, which breaks a longstanding Rain Man rule.

At the gym, when I'm on the exercise machines, I'm reading "The Know-It-All", a light non-fiction book about a guy who is trying to read the Encyclopedia Brittanica.

At home, I'm reading "Lost in Tibet", a non-fiction book about a U.S. transport plane crew that got off course and crashed in Tibet during WWII. The book includes stories of the crew, but also discusses the political implications of their arrival in Tibet on Sino-Anglo-Tibetan relations.

Yeah I got past that part and I'm now to the part where the French Drug Testing Agency was actually altering the test results.

"The Secret Man" by Bob Woodward

I'm curious about that stuff since I'm a journalism major. I just finished "All the President's Men". I've learned a lot about what it takes to be a good reporter than those books. The scope of Watergate was huge, and Woodward and Bernstein had to be persistent.

I'm re-reading "The Game, penetrating the secret society of pickup artists" by Neil Strauss. Without a doubt the most fascinating book I've ever read.

"The Rantings of a Single Male, Losing patience with feminism, political correctness and basically everything" by Thomas Ellis. Hilarious anti-feminism book.
