R. L. Stine? Hell yes. I also watched the movies.But I am reading the Bourne trilogy now. I'm on the Bourne Supremacy now. The books are nothing like the movie except the main concept of an assassin losing his memory.

I'm supposed to read Brideshead Revisted, Brighton Rock, and The Mayor of Casterbridge this month. Haven't started, but are any of them going to be worth my time?

Last weekend I read The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King: Inside the Richest Poker Game of All Timeby Michael Craig. It was awesome. You will never look at Jennifer Harmon, Ted Forrest or Howard Lederer the same.Today, if I get a chance, I will be reading Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't by Jim Collins. I have read the introduction and it seems like it will be a great book. My boss read it and loves it.

Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce. I haven't finished yet, but a mind blowing book.

[Dirtydutch]

Anyone read "Haunted"(also by Palahnuik) yet? I hear it's really, really good.

War Against the Weak By Edwin Black is a great nonfiction read. All about eugenics, the whole idea of the creation of a master race, and how it was practiced in the U.S. during the 1900s. The last chapter alone is worth the read, just mind blowing stuff.
