sin city

Needful things
The Stand
Desparation
all my stephen king, and all are pretty messed up. There all reallllly long too, but its so worth it to read them, just do a little at a time, youll get so into the book the length doesnt even matter.

ay, and they're much better than the movies. well, i never read Donnie Darko; didn't even know it was a book, but the other 2 are good and a bit fucked up as well.
The Shining: you'll like this one.

PLEASE READ THIS BOOK: "Gravity" by Tess Gerritsen.
This book is the only book that has actually frightened me. I couldn't put it down. It truly terrified me. I can't stress enough how incredible this book is. It's about an outbreak of a strange disease on the International Space Station. It sounds like a weird plot, but it's sooo fucked up. This disease is fucking scary, and the whole book is just horrifying. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Without giving it away, it's about a apartment that's haunted (not ghosts, the actual HOUSE is haunted) and it like shifts, makes noises ends up becoming bigger and smaller inside than outside, and was blamed (I believe, it's been a while) for the death of the original tenant that lived there.

V for vendetta; the graphic novel, is a great read.
Also, check out any of the Sin City graphic novels.
As for regular books, I suggest reading The Little Prince a few times, preferably in french. If you didn't pick up on all the metaphors in it the second time, keep reading.

check out "a brief history of time" by steven hawking. if you've ever wondered about existence and the universe, you'll be extremely happy. i'd give it a 7/10, definately a 9/10 if you smoke pot.
