I dunno why I love this quote so much Smiley (Maybe because I was crazy kid playing "Call of Cthulhu"

for many years Tongue )
The sanity checks made that game interesting.  First time I played I ended up in an asylum.

Anything Lovecraft wrote is worth reading.  http://www.hplovecraft.com/

Nobody yet mentioned that one:

'At the mountains of madness ' - my favorite

H.P. Lovecraft ... author of best horror books I ever had in my hands.


You might say - that after reading a few of his books it is easy to guess what is going to be in another one:P

But! Smiley it is not the truth Smiley Each one is special.

I always will remember his quote
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die." (H.P. Lovecraft "Necronomicon")

Ring is a 1994 science fiction novel by author Stephen Baxter. Ring tells the story of the end of the universe and the saving of mankind from its destruction. Two parallel plots are followed throughout the novel: that of Lieserl, an AI exploring the interior of the sun, and that of the Great Northern, a generation ship on a five-million-year journey.

Ringworld is a 1970 science fiction novel by Larry Niven, set in his Known Space universe and considered a classic of science fiction literature. It is followed by three sequels and four prequels, and ties into numerous other books set in Known Space. Ringworld won the Nebula Award in 1970, as well as both the Hugo Award and Locus Award in 1971.

Neuromancer is a 1984 novel by William Gibson, a seminal work in the cyberpunk genre and the first winner of the science-fiction "triple crown" — the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award.  It was Gibson's debut novel and the beginning of the Sprawl trilogy. The novel tells the story of a washed-up computer hacker hired by a mysterious employer to pull off the ultimate hack.

The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer is a postcyberpunk novel by Neal Stephenson. It is to some extent a science fiction bildungsroman or coming-of-age story, focused on a young girl named Nell, and set in a future world in which nanotechnology affects all aspects of life. The novel deals with themes of education, social class, ethnicity, and the nature of artificial intelligence. The Diamond Age was first published in 1995 by Bantam Books, as a Bantam Spectra hardcover edition. In 1996, it won both the Hugo and Locus Awards, and was shortlisted for the Nebula and other awards.

The truth is that the best is probably thing you are currently reading, watching if you are not bored with it ;-)

Do you mean about reading a book or reading this forum? Smiley

Both are never boring.

love the artwork of hard boiled.  It's miller's best series.
I like it alot more than 300 or sin city.
Every couple of weeks i check the net for rumors of a movie.

I have this picture in poster size hanging on a wall since 10 years.



Artwork is sick (in a good way) Smiley Very nice poster indeed Smiley

I can't say anything more about those series because I know only a movie, but I must look at them closer. Smiley

This book will change your life; I know it changed mine.

No but honestly, my entire collection is on my Kindle, so I can't say I've actually "had" them; if I can include that, I'd pick "As I Lay Dying" by Faulkner.

Thank you for bringing back childhood memories lol.
