Here's a picture of my collection. Top three shelves, plus my Goodkind's, Dark Towers, and Preston/Childs. This is one of eight bookshelves I have. It's a hobby... that takes up a lot of space. If for some reason you want to see the rest of my collection (non-FPW), I can post it.

Very neat (in at least two senses of the word). You won't see a picture of my bookcases until I do some serious organizing!

This is my collection!

Picture 031.....from left to right/Fifth Harmonic, Midnight Mass, Gateways, Crisscross, Night Screams, Soft and Others, Nightkill, Diagnosis Terminal, Masque, The Hawnted Air, Implant, The Select.


Picture 035.....from left to right/Legacies, Conspiracies, All the Rage, The Hosts, Virgin, Lovecraft's Legacy, ShockRock.


Picture 036.....from left to right/The Keep, Reborn, Reprisal, Nightworld, Black Wind, Sibs, The Touch, The Tomb.


Ugh! File size limit is only 39.1.....too small! :eek:

I think it would be awesome to collect the cover art from those Japanese editions. Then frame it!

This is probably my favorite non-RJ/AC book of Paul's. It is such a great succinct plot. It's not flashy or overly drawn out - just a SOLID story. It practically begs to be made into a movie, in my opinion.

True dat! That's something that REALLY PISSES ME OFF! I love Dean Koontz' books (although many have repetitive themes and he uses the word "Bougainvillea" too damn much). I still like Stephen King, although I prefer to listen to, rather than read, his books. But Paul's books are so different from each other among categories! He can make things happen for me on so many levels that I have never been even slightly disappointed in any of his books or stories. I think the LaNague books (especially AEOTS), Black Wind, Dydeetown World, Sims, The Fifth Harmonic, all of his medical thrillers, and Nightkill are all just as worthy of being made into movies as the RJ books. Nothing that Stephen or Dean have written comes even close to the potential! :mad:

I have only read Lightning by Koonz and was whelmed by it. I have read most of King's books. The main problems with his books, IMHO, are that they are too long for a movie; and they deal extensively with character development and internal thoughts which are hard to translate to celluloid; and he doesn't describe thing visually very well sometimes but more as concepts (example - the spider-creature-thing at the end of IT). He also has a penchant for weak endings. I know that this is considered sacrilege on this board () but I still consider King my favorite author because of the way he writes characters. He totally draws me into the character and his thoughts and motivations and makes an otherwise implausible situation seem completely realistic and possible.

Yes Jim--that is sacriligious. Now do a good Act of Contrition, 5 Hail Marys, 5 Our Fathers, and wash your mouth, er, I mean, your hands, with soap. While you're at it, grab a ruler and slap your knuckles a few times.

I recognize most of the books. But, what are the books:
Second shelf down, 6 from the right

That's MASQUES IV, that contains the short story "Please Don't Hurt Me".

Third shelf down, 5 and 8 from the left?

In order:

Gauntlet #3, which contains the graphic adaptation of the stage play for "Pelts".

IMAGINATION FULLY DILATED, which contains the short story "Lysing Toward Bethlehem".

You forgot to mention that I have to finish reading Paul's books that I haven't yet read.

Now do your act of contrition.

Lawyers don't have to say acts of contrition.

Here's an older picture of mine - I just had a look and realised I've now got a whole extra shelf of FPW stuff - a few more proofs, lettered Gateways, signed/limited 'The Tomb', UK & US 'The Touch' , Midnight Mass, UK Healer - a small fortune!

Is there any way of increasing the image sizes that we can post - my bookcase image looks pretty poor! (Sorry about the glare!)
