Your minds.

I know you're after me, ****ers. I'm onto you.

Invincible by Robert Kirkman. So far I am enjoying it but I only read seven issues.

Stephen's King "Salem's Lot"
Classic King until the middle of the book.. A writer (the main character!!), who is looking inspiration for his next book, and a mysterious man, who intents to open an antique shop, arrive in a small town called "Salem's Lot".. The latter buys an old abandoned house which is considered to be haunted and related to a series of disapperences from the past.. Things begin to perplex when one by one people of the town are "murdered" by mysterious beings...

One Robe, One Bowl: The Zen Poetry of Ryokan

It's a lovely little collection of poetry from the much loved Zen Buddhist monk.

My hut lies in the middle of a dense forest;
Every year the green ivy grows longer
No news of the affairs of men,
Only the occasional song of a woodcutter.
The sun shines and I mend my robe;
The moon shines and I read Buddhist poems.
I have nothing to report to my friends.
If you want to find the meaning, stop chasing after
so many things.


Beautiful. :)

At the time it first came out it was mind blowing. He blazed a whole new horror trail back then.

I don't like Steven King because he's too popular.

How does Salem's Lot compare to IT? That one was really a mind blower.

Way more compact.

It's a pretty awesome book, and there are two particular parts that are legitimately creepy even today. The best King book is easily Carrie though. You just feel so much for the girl, especially since you know how it's all going to turn out. It's like She's All That if it was written by H.P. Lovecraft.

Pet Cemetery killed me. Sherri was born in 1983 so I was reading that one while rocking my kid to sleep at night. The part where he digs up his son had me balling my eyes out.
