If the only way to create lasting controversy is to write books that rival Dean Koontz at his worst in terms of total inanity and are as paint-by-numbers as Tom Clancy, then fuck creating lasting controversy.

I wish he would just die in a fire or something.

Dean Koontz is hideously overrated, and the same for Tom Clancy.

The book they based the concept of the album on, yes. I'm about 300 pages in and its been incredibly fantastic so far, so I really reccomend iit to all Sci Fi lovers, and even to those who may not like too much Sci Fi but enjoy a very, very depressing read.

Is it fiction? Historical?

I'm 161 pages into Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, it's about time I read what all the hype is about. Da Vinci Code is next. So far this book is pretty good, interesting.

Angels & Demons is indeed a great book. The Da Vinci Code is also pretty damn good. I'm interested to see how the movie will be. I don't think Tom Hanks fits the role at all, but we shall see.

Is he playing Langdon? He's my favorite actor so I have faith he'll pull it off flawlessly. He's the fucking man.

Crazy talk! Koontz is badass, but as of late he's falling hard. He's putting out two to three books per year now! Is he dying or something? Occasionally a great one will slip through, Odd Thomas, for example, but there have been some rather mediocre books released by him lately. The Frankenstein books are pretty cool, too. Check those out.

I hadn't read a book in a long fucking time, but because of my weekends in jail, I've been reading novels once more. Just finished Dean Koontz' Dark Rivers of the Heart, and I'm stupified as to why I would ever stop reading for fun.

No way did someone all of a sudden make tons and tons of cash and someone sue him! NO WAY! :shock:

By the way, Dark Rivers Of The Heart is a great book.

Yeah, it really was. I'd have liked it more if Spencer and Valerie's meeting and budding relationship had had more time (pages) to grow so they didn't seem as rushed. But, it was an enjoyable experience. What would you recommend I read next by DK?

Out of his newer books, Odd Thomas and Forever Odd. Odd Thomas is excellent and Forever Odd is a sequel of sorts, I've not read it yet, but two people I know have and they both liked it a lot, but agreed that Odd Thomas was better.

Also, some other recent books would be Fear Nothing and Seize The Night, the only other books to include the same main character. Great character, too, great books.

His old books are generally all good, but some of my favorites are Lightning, The Servants Of Twilight, Phantoms, Hideaway and The Bad Place. I generally like all of his books, but recently The Taking, Life Expectancy and By The Light Of The Moon have sort of disappointed me.

Jesus! I just checked and he has yet another new one coming out in May!! Forever Odd came out in November! I don't get it at all. Why is he doing this? Did he get divorced? Hahaha.

Unless that's the name of the book?

Or we're seeing different images?

Or I've missed a joke?

I am quite confused.

The image should say: "The Fall of Hyperion. "Dan Simmons." There should be a nice and shiny picture. What do you see?
