I'll make my goal, even if it means I'm reading all day Dec. 31!
I think my favorites have been the William Gibson and Irvine Welsh book. I also really enjoyed the book I just finished--it was fun to read the stories that inspired Lovecraft and see where he got some of his ideas. What about you?
I absolutely recommend reading "Fight Club"! I own the movie and I've seen it numerous times but that didn't diminish my enjoyment of either the book or film. Same with "Trainspotting"--I loved the book and I think I actually like the movie better now that I've read the book.
It really is a fun little book. I've agreed totally with all but one of the classics I've seen so far (not a fan of "The Innocents," but that's just me). I also enjoyed the fact that it was more than just a list of the 50 classics; there are also interesting sections on horror literature, icons (actors, directors, and monsters), and foreign horror.
Brilliant!

Yay! Thanks so much, heyrocker! I'm a recent Listology convert and I was really sad to think my new favourite place might go away.
