Currently reading Neil Gaimans' "American Gods". I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in American folklore.
Not just American Folklore but all the foreign mythology that went into making up what we know of American Folklore. If you haven't read it yet you should pick up Anansi Boys next. It fallows along the mythic folklore-ish premise of American Gods. I like it a little more.

just watched "house" (2008)
horror flick.
i actually found it pretty decent. the acting was kinda lame, but that's most horror movies these days i guess. at first it reminded me of "nightmare on elm street".... but then i thought it was more like "amityville" and then "the descent".... so on and on, lol.
anyways, it's a netflix instant. worth checking out.

Do you know if it's a remake of the House horror/comedy flick from the 80's?
I remember that from when i was a kid. It was on par with the Evil Dead. I haven't seen it in years but what I remembered of it was: guy inherits house from a dead relative, moves in to find it haunted and every room takes him to some kinda wacky alternated universe.

Ok thanks. I am really enjoying this book so I will definitely pick up Anansi Boys in the future. Neil Gaiman is a demented author, I just found out he wrote the story for 'Coraline', which is the new Tim Burton flic.

I love Neil Gaiman. I've read most of his stuff. Coraline's a real short good read. It's actually categorized as a childrens book but it's pretty dark for a kids book. I've also read the first 4 volumes of The Sandman graphic novel series that Gaiman wrote.
Shockwave- Are you talking about the Dead Zone from the 80's starring Christopher Walken? Good flick, another Stephen King novel turned movie.

I agree with Grenade; avid readers who are burned out on Tolkien-esque fantasy epic re-hashes should really give Eragon a shot.
The books tell the story in a fresh, invigorating manner; they also have the multi-layer'd-ness of Harry Potter books.
On top of all that, dwarves are finally presented correctly in modern fantasy--as philanthropic berserkers and not asanine comic relief.

I have Eldest and Brisingr but I haven't read them yet, my grandpa told me they were really good, he'll read anything!

I just finished reading Halo: Harvest. I think it was written very well. Started reading the Hardcover copy of the Death of Superman. Was Wall-E and Paul Blart: Mall Cop courtesy of NetFlix love them both!
