The California Penal Code.

That's not scary. It's just overly huge and half unenforcable. Stupid comes to mind too. But there is a lot of cop venacular from that POS used all across the country.Quote:

Stephen King and Koontz are masters of the first. Also throw King into the second with The Stand.
Mtn Man called a good one when you consider the implications with Creature from Jekyl Island. Everyone should read it for knowledge.
M2MG called another with One Second After. The thought of this really happening is chilling.
Funkfool, you are the first person I have run into in 10yrs who has read Donaldsons, Thomas Covenant series. He is good at making you feel the characters despair and fear. Best part is it is 7 or 8 book series.
The book Halloween, not sure who wrote it, but read it several times and would have to put it down at times. Of course, i was probably all of about 13 or 14. Read most of King's books, and they are way creepier than the movies. Been a while since i picked up non-fiction book, unfortunately only been reading tech manuals of late.
Cheers,
Tim
Watching the movie "Desperation" by Steven King now.
The movie Marathon Man (1976) is coming on at 9:56. Doubt I'll have time to check it out tonight though.
Scariest book:
Dreams of my Father by Barack Hussein Obama

Unintended Consequences is a good read because of the infuriating history, but the fiction part that tied it all together was pretty mediocre. If you thought it was the best book you've ever read, then you are on the cusp of slipping into an entire universe of really great books that you never new were out there.Quote:

That said though, after about the first 150 pages, the story gets going and the characters start to solidify and the book gets much more entertaining. If I were a teacher, it would be required reading for all of my students. It is very important to know these things about our history.
It wasn't mentioned in this thread, but this is the largest thread discussion we've had on here. I also read World War Z and was really impressed by how good of a book it was. The format was refreshing and the material was engaging. My fiance was upset I read it without her, so I'm going to pick up the audio book and have her listen to it. Of course she can read (faster than I can) but I'm interested in hearing all the voice actors do the reading.
The Stand.... Steven King....Book was way better then the movie
