just ordered the spiderman the icon hardback book. it detales spidey pretty serious from comic, to tv show, to toys and of course to sculpts!

got it from amazon for 34% off with free shipping.

also just read the new star wars hard back death star book. if you like the star wars books then this is a pretty cool one. looks at the construction of the first death star from the standpoint of people in the empire.

Ron Jeremy - the (hardest) working man in showbiz:

http://www.amazon.com/Ron-Jeremy-Hardes ... 422&sr=8-1

The Wife knows I'm a fan

and treated me at the weekend. She included a note saying that it should "anatomically balance" the other book I've just finished - Adrienne Barbeau's autobiography.

The guy is hilarious - and what a way to make a living ......

Currently working through "Upsetting the Balance," Book 3 of Harry Turtledove's "WorldWar" series (the one where the alien Lizards invade in the middle of WWII).

Then I'm going back to finish the latest volume in Elizabeth Moon's "Vatta's War" series.

loved the Mist! Unfortunantley, kings novels translate lousy to the screen for some reason!

ie: Pet Semetary scared the smidt outa me but the movie blew!

I guess SK's books force Your mind to come up with images that hollywood in all their glory cant compare to!

gothiken · #96 Post by **gothiken** » March 6th, 2008, 4:05 pm

King's books that arent so "horror" oriented made some great
movies...

Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Apt Pupil, Misery....

of course then theres the Shining, Carrie,1408, Christine wasnt bad
for an early 80's flick..

I liked like the Mist as a read.. and liked it better the way it ended
there... the Hollywood Version was ok..not great.....

I saw The Mist in the theater & I felt so absolutely let down by the ending! What a bummer! This would have been a great movie with an alternate ending IMO.

The only things I've been reading lately have been KB & PT magazines.
