I had about a week after reading it where I knew my life's calling was to get high and write.

Unfortunately dissipated. </3

The Righteous Men. I don't know who wrote it- all i know is that's it's crime fiction and therefore evil. Well. At the moment.

Also, Matthew Reilly's Seven ancient wonders.... my copy was printed missing pages and messed up, so i had to wait for ages:mad1:
But it's good.

The Hyperion Omnibus it is, it resembles a wooden brick. There few words to describe the horror that is Father Hoyt's tale, and what Paul Dure did to himself. Maybe it would 'Oh my fucking god what did he just do to himself?'

I recommend it, just for this, and the Soldier's Tale.

The readers digest book of: STRANGE STORIES / AMAZING FACTS.

I really like it, there are heaps of things in here I never knew, and a lot of things I wanted to know. It's something you just pick up whenever you find yourself doing nothing, have a browse through and close the book, left with a feeling of satisfaction or amusement.
