More books please! - Auskar - 10-01-2007
I started reading one of Vachss' novels. I didn't finish it.

For non-FPW, I highly recommend Robert McCammon's Speaks the Nightbird, which you can read before its sequel, The Queen of Bedlam, comes out next month.....

Britfan Wrote:If you meant non FPW then Preston & Child books are good, and seem popular with the gang here
Second that suggestion. Preston & Child are very good.
Britfan Wrote:If you fancy a real change Scott Miller put a few of us onto Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Fantasy with a difference (don't let the swords& sorcery angle put you off) this series is excellent
Definitely second that suggestion as well! The second istallment of the series, Red Seas Under Red Skies, is also available now. Besides being excellent stories, I'll bet you find a lot of inspiration for your art in Lynch's tales.
Oh! Another Scott Miller recommendation that was excellent: Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. Spooooky ghost story!
My personal all-time favorite, always recommended novel (and NO ONE who has taken this advice was sorry they did)... Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
There. That ought to keep you busy.

I was going to recommend this one too, but I didn't want Scott's head getting too big
PS Like the holloween avatar

Yes, I hesitated as well. :p
Love ya, Scott! Keep giving us those recommendations - they're usually pretty darn good.
PS - your Halloween avatar inspired me!

FPW's greatest heroine is in DEEP AS THE MARROW. Fabulous, wonderful book, with just a wee touch of the Otherness.

Which one? (BTW, Auskar, you're not alone. I tried to turn me buddy Arvanitis onto the BURKE series. I asked him how he liked FLOOD, the first, if mem'ry serves. He said, "I got distracted." A courteous way of saying, "Miguel, what the hell...??"
. Maybe you need an evil heart to identify with Burke and his "family of choice."

"Who...?"
"My name's Burke. I hear about you. Like what I hear. But let my family take care of this."
BOOOOM!
"Four less clowns roamin' 'round town. The plan was sweet and the tuck went neat."
"We got everybody, Prof?"
"The man of silence got the man of violence! We all flyin', let the devil be buyin'"
"We're wind. Jack...we gotta have a meet soon."
"Yeah. I heard about you too, Burke. And your family."
"Whole town's going nuts. Something about that crazy symbol."
"How about the meet?"
"Julio's at ten tonight?"
"You...you =know= that's my hang?"
"I just look stupid, pal. I read Paul Wilson's books too."
LOL, Blues! Great Burke Jack scene.
Did you read the new Burke book that just came out yet? Mine's on the way as I type.

Gonna borrow it this weekend, Luthie. I think it would be so cool for Jack and Burke to work together.
