Read it and you will never forget Artie, the fish boy, who generates a legion of cult followers who cut off their own hands and feet in effigy, and Chick who powers I'd rather not go into. If you have not read this you are missing a triply-treat!
    Other genre faves:
    Carrion Comfort - Dan Simmons
    Hyperion (1&2) - Dan Simmons
    Clive Barker - Imajica
    The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris
    The Exorcist - William Peter Blatty
    Good Omens or American Gods - Neil Gaiman (the first with Terry Pratchet)
    The Stand, IT, Salem's Lot, and The Shining - by King favorites

    I may post some fore literate titles later - the genre stuff is always at the forefront of my mind.
    I counted your nomination in, but I can't quite see what you are seconding. Can I count The Exorcist, The Stand and It as seconded?
    Well, now I see why you guys set up rules!!! LOL LOL I will, from here on in promise to stick as closely to them as I can. Please feel free to bitch slap me if I should stray!!! LOL LOL
    28 in 23 (?)!!!!

    63 in '23!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL, no, please, don't make it harder for me. The rules are made for fun, but also for consistence.

    Go through the existing list. Nominate one novel that isn't already there. Explicitly second as many as you want.

    I have to disregard this post of yours because it does not comply with the rules.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
