- William Shakespeare -- nm - OAE Oct 24, 08:05
- Anne Rice, natch. But she knows why. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 07:49 8
  - because she's a hack? -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 07:52 7
    - She is no hack. She's just writing for herself at this point. Which is fine, but closes her work off from others. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 07:54
    - *gasp* -- nm - Epiphany Oct 24, 07:54 5
      - trying to remember the name of her book about a eunuch in Venice. AWFUL. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 07:56 4

        that was one of the things I didn't like. The paternal relationship turned into a romantic one. and she clearly has a hardon for girly men. - loosilu Oct 24, 08:03 1
        
        She definitely loves girly men. Servant of the Bones was very good. When she turns on the creepy - it's uber creepy. - Epiphany Oct 24, 08:14
        
        Cry to Heaven. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 08:02

- Dickens - prayformojo Oct 24, 07:44
- John Grisham, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Sherrilyn Kenyon. -- nm - Diva Oct 24, 07:40
- James Patterson. His first Cross books were great, then they went to hell around Pop Goes The Weasel. Plus he releases a book bi-weekly it seems -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 24, 07:38 1
  - Weasel is likely around when I dropped. the first couple (especially Kiss The Girls) I really, really liked -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:40
- King. -- nm - TWuG Oct 24, 07:37
- Clancy. -- nm - Ender Oct 24, 07:36
- Clancy earned a reprieve with the last book of his....but he's on thin ice...Vince Flynn's close to getting ignored as well. -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 07:36
Are there a lot of injuries on Indy's defense? Or have they just given up - prayformojo Oct 24, 07:32 7
- [deleted]
- Peyton isn't playing defense for them this season. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 07:33 5

  - Without the laser rocket arm, are they dead in the water? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 07:34 3
    - apparently it was always Peyton and a bunch of other dudes. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 24, 07:35 2
      - Helps keep a defense fresher by actually moving the ball. - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 07:40

for the people that also read Dean Koontz, do you find that most of his books just sort of disappear after you read them? - Andie Oct 24, 07:30 8
- Paranormal activity! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 24, 07:51
- Cussler's in that same vein for me...it's comfort reading, but overall...it's forgotten within days - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 07:38
- Yeah, I read several after the one with the talking dog, but the talking dog is the only one I remember. -- nm - mara Oct 24, 07:36
- I hate reading books I've read before by accident. Koontz is forgettable. I recall Floating Dragon from Straub - Epiphany Oct 24, 07:34
- I read Odd Hours, but never finished it, I was underwhelmed. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 24, 07:33
- absolutely. I read a few of them. They're fun and well done for what they are but they're vacuous. - Mel Profit Oct 24, 07:32
- I'm sure I've read one or two Koontz over the years, but have no recollection of which/when -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 07:32
- My favorite Koontz books are: Lightning, Twilight Eyes, Midnight and The Watchers (Odd Thomas ones are ok, but draggy) -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 24, 07:31

        ...on whom you have a crush. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 07:34 4
        
        It was presumed to be the other way around - he had an unrequited crush -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 07:47 2
        
        that is what I recall - Loosilu was worried he was going to be making goggly eyes at her all day - Epiphany Oct 24, 07:49 1
        
        it's not too bad. we just pick on each other a lot in a sibling way. - loosilu Oct 24, 07:53
        
        no. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 07:38
        
        oops, I thought he was the guy who insisted on getting a cubicle near you -- nm - Epiphany Oct 24, 07:29 2
        
        no no, I took a cubicle near him (because it was the only one with a window). Then later he became my sometimes-manager when I work on a certain - loosilu Oct 24, 07:30 1
        
        Then why isn't he in? - Trish Oct 24, 08:24
    - did he just go in again? -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 24, 07:28 1
      - you're gross. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 07:28
