[quote=Dmitri]Goosebumps LOL. Fun stuff. My fav was 'Welcome to Dead House' xD "One day at Horror Land"/Monster Blood was pretty good too
Boxcar Children (which my sister introduced me to it) was the other one i was reading. I remember borrowing like 20 books at once from the library - an "expedition" to empty out the library *lol*
Such silliness.[/quote]
I never got into goosebumps, though I did read a ton of the animorphs books a while back... no idea why I was thinking that was relevant in the slightest until now XD

One day in horror land was my favourite along with the curse of the mummys tomb and return of the mummy.
I happened to own, and still have (although they are in england) all of them up to around number 24, and many more random ones after that. I've always had a problem when it comes to buying books 0:-)

I just read "A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" for class tomorrow. The way they acted just made me so mad *complain* Then I realized that the play was set in the town I live in. How quaint.
I didnt buy too many books. Just made full use of the library and went there like crazy - borrowing a ton, returning a ton. Rinse and repeat. Good ol days. Now i'm just stuck reading textbooks

I used to love those books too. Those, and Harry Potter. lol. I used to be a real big book worm. Then I got internet, now I hardly ever read at home. *lol*
I tried reading goosebumps books but I never really got into them. Some of my favorite books are by Mary Downing Hahn, who writes ghost stories, and Margaret Peterson Haddix, who just writes really good stories.
Mmm.. Steig Larsson is amazing, the first two books were very entertaining, though I rarely read thrillers. I'm really upset that it's going to be forever until the third book is released in English. I just finished a book of short stories by Haruki Murakami, After the Quake, they were excellent. I think I enjoy him almost as much as Milan Kundera, I'll have to pick up The Wind Up Bird Chronicles again.
One of my favourite books ever, I think, was House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. That book was just ridiculously good. Also it made my brain explode into little gory bits all over the pages.
Right up there in the favourites is absolutely anything by Neil Gaiman. Hell that man is some kind of god on earth. Sandman was absolutely divine. He is one of the people I was proudest to meet, I think.
I love Chuck Pahlaniuk because he's Canadian and also awesome. As far as CanLit goes, Margaret Attwood has only written one good book and that is Oryx and Crake. Hunter S. Thompson, C.S. Lewis (Screwtape Letters, not that other crap), China Mieville, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, all good. All excellent, in fact.
If anyone likes two or more of these things that I've mentioned, please recommend things to me.
EDIT: My books as of about a year ago.. That was before I worked at a bookstore for a couple of months with a 30% discount and just bought a ridiculous number of books, mostly non-fiction and modern literature. None of those are on there, that's mostly just the stuff I either picked up at garage sales and read when I still had time or had when I was wee (like Harry Potter and the Hardy Boys stuff).
