I just finished Invisible Monsters It was a pretty good read, Palahniuk loves his plot twists [editline]2nd July 2013[/editline] [IMG]http://chuckpalahniuk.net/files/images/books/invisible-monsters-us-trade.jpg[/IMG]
Just read Katawa Shoujo, the 3 first harry potter books and the hunger games
I had some free time yesterday, so I read the story "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. I don't know how to feel.
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;41282000]I had some free time yesterday, so I read the story "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. I don't know how to feel.[/QUOTE] Actually a good read, I recommend you all read it. It only takes like 20 minutes tops
[t]http://brentcolby.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Outliers.jpg[/t] Required reading for freshmen at my college It's damn good.
[IMG]http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328702107l/119331.jpg[/IMG] 200 pages well worth my time.
[img]http://kuvat2.huuto.net/d/ce/58ef5d5a745a9785bb6ac90aebb79-orig.jpg[/img] Recently read it for a school project. I have to say I really liked it, I don't think I've ever been that eager to continue reading a book. Then again, I don't read much.
I have a weird and mixed taste. [img]http://imageproxylb1-783210196.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/max_square/fill/books/1348533762/176804.jpg[/img] S'all right. It's about some griffon dude with the most ridiculous name possible. "Skandranon Rashkae" [img]http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1173812259l/331256.jpg[/img] Best book I've ever read hands down. [img]http://www.hiphopsideproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/necronomicon-hp-lovecraft-700x466.jpg[/img] Shadow Over Innsmouth is brilliant and I'm reading it again for the millionth time.
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;41286466]"Skandranon Rashkae"[/QUOTE] Don't get this one as an audiobook.
[QUOTE=Zanpa;41286535]Don't get this one as an audiobook.[/QUOTE] Every single fucking name is some weird ass shit. All of them. I even mix them up half the time. It's terrible. The lore is really interesting and I want to keep reading, but what the fuck is up with these names? Skandranon Rashkae Kestra'chern Amberdrake Kiyamvir Ma'ar

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;41293744]Is it a book based on the Stalker games?[/QUOTE] it's the other way around.
[QUOTE=Zanpa;41294408]it's the other way around.[/QUOTE] Heh, I actually wanted to mean that. Fuck my brain.
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;41286466] Shadow Over Innsmouth is brilliant and I'm reading it again for the millionth time.[/QUOTE] Call of Cthulhu is my favorite but my second would be The Rats in the Walls. If you haven't read that one I highly recommend it. Try to find it unedited. The reason it might be edited is because it was in the 20's and the main character owns a black called and it's name is N****rman. [QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;41293744]Is it a book based on the Stalker games?[/QUOTE] These are. Take place after the events of C.o.P.

[img]http://www.agathachristie.com/attachments/uploaded-images/thumbs/Sparkling-Cyanide-lo-res_jpg_235x600_q95.jpg[/img] I'm gonna pick up some Lovecraft soon.

[/QUOTE] I actually have the book he shown in the screenshot and it is unedited. And yes the black cat is called....well "n word"man [editline]3rd July 2013[/editline] Everyone was racist back then so... personally my favourite is The Dunwhich Horror
[img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9hJs2J1RW1Y/TPnLaJffCvI/AAAAAAAAALE/3qViSp9uIYU/s1600/Everworld.jpg[/img] Truly brilliant stuff.

Such a goddamned good story. [editline]3rd July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;41296286] Everyone was racist back then so... [/QUOTE] Lovecraft was actually incredibly xenophobic. I'm not sure how he felt about black people, but I know he was terrified of the Irish and Russians. You can really see all this in A Shadow Over Innsmouth. I always found it brilliant how Lovecraft channeled his phobias into these stories. It's like seeing the world from a completely different point of view. Also this is a great watch if you have a little over an hour and a half. It really brings insight into his life and why his stories are so fucked up. Be warned though, it does have spoilers for some of his stories I think, so watch out. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FLrcri3RZ4[/media]
