Friends Like These by Danny Wallace.
I read about it in the Daily Mail last month.
He certainly isn't like any author I've ever read before. I've only read Lullaby and Diary and half of Choke and Survivor. I currently own Fight Club, Choke, and Diary. I eventually want all his books, besides maybe the stranger than fiction one.Quote:

Got the last few Dark Tower books i need =D
I still have tons of books to read, buying a new one would be foolish right now. But it was American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Actually, I didn't buy it, my ex did. So Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
One of my friends just got that a week and a half ago. He was looking to buy Dante's Divine Comedy online, and then saw that he could get it together with Paradise Lost for a discount =)Quote:

Tim of the Twins, War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins by Weis and Hickman
AND
Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy Ultimate Edition Written by Richard A. Knaak and illustrated by Jae-Hwan Kim
Haunted is my favourite Palahniuk book, followed by Choke. But tbh Invisible Monsters slightly bored me and I didn't get it.Quote:

Because I read many many books I rarely buy individual books these days, I am forever buying more than 1 or omnibus editions of series such as the Gaunts Ghosts omnibus books. Even when buying big collective works such as the Omnibus books I'll buy more than 1 book though because seriously one of those big books lasts me about a week or so :\
The latest 2 books I brought were:

The Ashes of Worlds, Kevin J Anderson's finale to the epic saga of the seven suns.
I also brought:

Don't Stop Me Now, Jeremy Clarkson because frankly the man is almost a God and should be made PM of the UK

The only worthwhile books from that series are Ender's Game and the first one about Bean. The rest were boring and I didn't like them.Quote:
