Just finished reading '11/22/63' by Stephen King.

I have to say, this book was freakin awesome. One of King's best. It's about a teacher who's dying friend tells him about a portal he discovered in the stockroom of his pantry. The portal takes you back to the year 1958 each time. You can stay as long as you wish, but when you return to the present, only 2 minutes have passed from the time you left. Any changes made to the past are in effect when you return, though if you go back into the past again, those changes reset unless you make them again.

The teacher's dying friend tells him his wish was to stay in the past until 11/22/63, the day Kennedy was assassinated, and change history. The teacher finally agrees and goes back in time, planning to live in the past for 5 years, until the fateful day.

I highly recommend this to anyone, regardless of your reading preferences.

I'm reading The Catcher In The Rye by J. D. Salinger currently. It's an amazing book and I'm loving Holden Caulfield! I think many of you here will recognize this character. He's appeared on a song by Metallica and on "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield" by Green Day off of Kerplunk.

Finally reading A Scanner Darkly after years of adoring the film. It's pretty similar to the film, just more expansive, as books usually are.

These original covers are a lot more interesting than the boring plain black covers that I've got with just a colour band around the top.

Arthur C. Clarke, Rendezvous With Rama. A true science fiction classic from one of the veritable kings of the hard scifi genre. It involves humanity's first contact with alien life, in the form of a planet-sized, hollow cylinder hurtling through space into the sun. I just started, but it looks great so far (from Clarke, how could you expect less?).

Also, is it me, or does almost every person in this thread love fantasy? That's almost all I ever see in here.

Most people into metal on this forum are into fantasy novels, it goes with the terrain, but it does seem that lovers of other types of music are into fantasy as well.
