Gaga Forum Erm....I mean Stephen King's IT (man that guy likes to waffle)

I must finish off the latest Private Eye. Now!

He does, excellent book though. The film's superb too 

Hmmm, the films a bit poop to be honest. Acting is atrocious darling.

Latin and Marine Biology.

It seems like decades ago that we read IT. Fab book. But I wasn't keen on the TV film. It's often the case when they try to film a book. Gorky Park is one example IMO.

I'd imagine filming a book would be quite boring

Yes! That's a fair point. I'm sure Bunuel considered and then rejected the idea.

Warhol considered it too action packed.

Was he that Spanish filmmaker who filmed someones eye being sliced open?

Warhol was always a bit of a wet flannel

Yes! But he could have filmed Fernando Rey and a book. He might have been on a winner.

No it's just old and hasn't aged too well. A bit like a certain horror film some clown on here subjected everyone to not so long ago 

I didn't subject anything darling! (in case you haven't noticed I'm trying to sound like a pompous arse). I merely 'suggested'.

You were lucky, I almost did another 'Rawky Horror Show' last night for 'Anaconda', but that film is so dire that I didn't bother.........darling.

I am reading your daft thread.

Am reading nothing at the mo. Just trying to find something sensible on here to engage chat with.

Philosophical gems in fact.

But seriously now...

I have just finished a fab book , semi autobiographical about nurse training in Leeds in the 1950s.

I thought it was great and couldn't put it down,

I am now reading one about nursing in WW2.

There is a theme here.,..

You should have done it . We could have revelled in the utter awfulness of it.

Good luck with that

I'll have a ganders through the tv schedules tomorrow, it may be repeated.

Go for it. I'll be there. As an interesting aside, Anaconda is the name of a brilliant single by The Sisters Of Mercy who, incidentally, have not appeared in any horror films 

Are you really Issy?
That must be interesting...

What are the books called?

Well?

Can you tell us what the books are called Issy?

That was almost a girly "why are you ratbags men ignoring me" flounce...
Except I am crap at staying affronted.

They aren't particularly great works of writing.. the first is called - Yes Sister ( oh er matron)

The second is called " A Girl Called Thursday". That is almost cheesy but it is set in Haslar in the second world war ( naval hospital in Portsmouth) and is about a VAD and her experiences there.

I love books about real people and in particular how they cope in times of adversity....

I'm currently deciding what to read next but I just finished the millennium series; girl with the dragon tatoo +, they were so good, utterly compelling!



I'm considering wuthering heights next, or a wilber smith book that my mum loaned me

re reading the beast house by richard laymon... if you like stephen king, try `the talisman` tis fab

I just finished U is for Undertow byb Sue Grafton....It was pretty good and kept me occupied for a day at the weekend.

I may visit the library tomorrow.

My phone bill and it`s not looking good

Blocked the mobile calls as of NOW son!

I am just about to start reading...well in bed tonight........ Karin Slaughter Genesis, and am really looking forward to it..

 Oh I remember it well Scotty

Is that a new one Baz or have i read it?

Hi Croc Well it's in paperback, so probably not the very latest..... but think it is only 2009........ Sara is back in Atlanta......

just started 'Bitten' by Kelley Armstrong ..    so far I am liking it!

I am currently reading:

Heartstone by Clive Sansom
Black Dog by Stephen Booth
A Cure For All Diseases by Reginald Hill
and on my iPhone, when I'm travelling, I'm reading
Roseanna by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.

Books I have just finished include:

Dust of Dreams by Steven Erikson
The Last Temptation by Val McDermid.

I'm also attempting to at least skim through multiple books and articles for my counselling course.

i only read books by richard laymon and graham masterton............. they are spine tingling genious   the beast house trilogy is outstanding     .. burial by GM  is the best book i have ever read

Misery - Stephen King

The book I mentioned at the beginning of the thread (Mr Murder) was written by Dean Koontz who rates Richard Laymon very highly. I'd better go and read some of his stuff then. Any recommendations?
