the hour i first believed by Wally Lamb

this book is slightly different than his other two
it starts with his characters being in Columbine at the time of the massacre
and goes on from there to deal with the protagonist wife suffering from post traumatic stress

i am about half way through and curious to see how it will end

Mr b gone by Clive Barker

right now I'm reading this book
i do find it quite enjoyable
the idea that the narrator is in the book watching you read it
i find that highly amusing
and even at its most gory it still has the potential for a laugh or two.

the great and secret show

the great and secret show
written by Clive barker

i reread this one after a few years of not reading Clive barker
i had gotten pissed off that he hasn't finished the Abarat series and that he left it on a cliff hanger
but now i have to get back to him
i decided that i forgave him and that i want to catch up on what he's written

i love the great and secret show
i love the idea of a dream sea and the idea that you visit there with your true love.
Clive barker can write you have to give him that one
he makes it interesting and he creates characters that you can see
characters that evoke tears from me at some points and even though i had read this book before there were still moments that shook me and surprised me.
