When I first picked up this book, I found it impossible to put down.
I read it from cover to cover in one go, it was that good.
The book transports you into the mind of Frank, a young boy growing up on a small Island off the Scottish mainland.

This book left me mentally assaulted.

To give you an idea of Iain Banks debut novel see back cover blurbs below;

Enter - if you can bear it - the extraordinary private world of Frank, just sixteen, and unconventional, to say the least.

'Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through.'

A mighty imagination has arrived on the scene. (Mail On Sunday)

There is no denying the bizarre fertility of the author's imagination: his brilliant dialogue, his cruel humour... (Irish Times)

Read it if you dare. Weirdly talented. (Daily Express)

A brillaint book, barmy und barnacled with the grotesque. (New Statesman)

The Wasp Factory is a first novel not only of tremendous promise, but also of achievement, a minor masterpiece perhaps. (Punch)

fucking awsome!!!!

77. The Meters- The Meters

A definate must have funk album. This New Orleans band has influenced many different artists. The beats on this record sound snappy and tight.

oh....just like it said on the front, "a gothic horror of exceptional quality" or should i say thriller? the mere setting of the book is incredible, a small island in scotland, one house, a boy living alone with his father, the mostly cloudy days and the dunes... one can imagine an incredible ,chilling film being made from this book. you're sucked into his bizzare little world instantly. i added an extra cold tone to his narration, imagening myself as Frank, one coldhearted twisted motherfucker, reading it in a flat ,cold tone, detached from the world, hating everyone...or merely not careing. it was quite easy to personify myself with Frank, he's alone and living on an island, most of the time i live alone, and my island in the winter is one cold,dark and lonely place. the imagery of the burning animals runing arround was spectacular to say the least. the last 50 pages and the showdown with Eric was breathtaking......
like i said.....fucking awsome!!

WAR, by Poorboyz productions:
Jonny Decesare has made yet another rediculously mindblowing ski movie. Going huge once again with footage from many record breaking hits, a 37-foot hip air by Andreas Hatveit and a 23.5-foot tree jib to name a few. the cinematography is insane, and along with some of the most creative editing i've ever seen you get a movie that really transcends your typical ideas of s ski moive. A nice blend of big mountain lines, insane powder and spine skiing, crazy park segments and some sick urabn rail sessions, its a movie that can make everyone (from the diehard backcountry charger to the park rat) happy with what they've seen. really, an amazing movie all around.

yes, another ski movie. what did you expect:

The Teddybear Crisis by Matchstick Productions
the intro is f*cked up, to put it bluntly. Wierd imagery of teddybears getting mangled, and look and feel that's reminiscent of the cinematography of a clockwork orange makes it clear that this movie is going to be different right off the bat. and it certainly is. The cast is no less impressive, featuring big names like Tanner Hall, Mike Wilson, Simon Dumont, Jon Olsson, Henrik Windstedt, and a handfull of the young guys and girls that really push the limits, and depressed me and all my friends, because these kids were almost a decade younger than us, and about 10 times better. Aside from that, the movie is just sick. period. Perhaps one of the most chilling scenes is footage of the now famous 900 on chads gap by tanner hall, in which he stomped it going foreward, and then on a later switch attempt crashed, spectacularly, breaking both his ankles, and a handful of other bones in the mix. Gave us all a flashback of mike wilson's segment in yearbook last year that ended in his rediculous crash after undershooting his 180 gap jump. Overall, like WAR, the skiing is insane, the balance is great, great park segments and rediculous big mountain lines. woot.

summer's end - danelle steel

i don't normaly read romance books (i don't normaly read anything not on the computer) and i picked up that book out of boredem, when my bf would play games i had nothing to do, so in a way this amazing beautiful book didn't help any, its one of the most beauiful love stories i've ever heard in my life. i cried in the book i was taken in i was there i was watching it happen. i can't go into the story cause i'll ruin it for everyone.

i went to read her other books thinking she was a amazing writer, and i got half way through a bouch of them and never liked them, nothing compared to summers end. i don't even like romance books and i loved it. So everyone read that book!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Radio --
that movie took me in. it wasn't about football it wasn't about being retarded it wasn't about the town not wanting radio to go to school, it was to me about true love between a young man and a family man football coach. the love between them was the trueist love of all. the coach love radio like his own, took care of him and watched out for him. you could watch the love grow, he chaged radio's life. Radio changed his life, radio made him a more passionet man, a more understanding and a man with courage to stand up to a town full of people scared of change, scared of the truth that people are not only of different races but can have so many things "wrong" with them such as radio mentally retarted, this coach maneged to stand up for what he wanted for himself, for radio,and wouldn't leave with less. this story if nothing else will hopfully show you that life can change and people change, if the heart of a whole town could!.

alright thats two things.. but i'm a little confused as to how this thing works anyways.. dot dot dot..

urban i hope i didn't spam in your thread

71. V for Vendetta by Alan Moore

Don't know if any of youse read comics, but I found this to be pure brilliance all the way through. Even better than Watchmen, the standard classic by the author. Hope they don't **** up the movie, although from what I've read (a couple reviews here and there) it's supposed to be pretty damn good.
