The book is a comedy about the apocalypse. It is about the birth of the antichrist and how the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley try to prevent the world from ending.

Btw Im a big Gaiman fan. You can tell by the avatar.
 
hey Creeping_Deth! I'm a big Gaiman fan too. Good omens is a hilarious book, I've read it like 3 times already and it's still riotiously funny :lol:

Also, for Gaiman's more serious novels, check out American Gods, Anansi Boys, Neverwhere and of course his Sandman graphic novels.
 
I get the sandman comics from the library. They are awesome! Cant find seasons of the mist tho, and thats an important arc in the series. Delirium is one of the best characters ever created in fiction!
 
Our Supernatural Skyline; Between God's And Ghosts, by Jonathan Lim

(I have no idea where I can get hold of a cover picture of this book.)

Another fascinating read I picked up from Popular over the weekend.

Singapore playwright, Jonathan Lim, explores one of his pet subjects, Singapore's Supernatural phenomena. From application of the Stone Tape Theory in our local context, to the chilling SBO tale passed down through batch after batch of NS cadets, to detailed explanations of Hell's Hierachy, every aspect and urban legend of our island's ghostly underbelly is investigated thoroughly, and viewed impartially from both sides of the coin, all while leaving room for chilling self-contemplation in between.

Definitely not bedside table material unless you have balls of steel.
 
Books by John Grisham and Nelson DeMille. John Grisham's books are thriller/law and Nelson DeMille's books are romance/thriller/war.
 
Black Wind by Clive Cussler. The one who wrote Sahara. The movie was a bit crap IMO but the books are pretty good. Lots of tension.
 
because i'm bored and its 5 in the morning.

Yeah! The Priory of Sion is real! Some kind of brotherhood/secret society.

Priory of Sion is a hoax. It was founded in 1956 by french scammer Pierre Plantat who admitted in the court to fabricating everything about Priory of Sion.

The book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, where the authors set to investigate this Priory of Sion shit, based their research on the forged documents of Pierre Plantat.

Dan Brown based his facts on Holy Blood, Holy Grail when he wrote The Da Vinci code. There you go.... :?
 
dan brown books get boring when you read beyond dvc and a&d.

here's a good read i just finished. about a team of uni students who devised a system to win millions out of blackjack.

Just finished;

He had everything. A great job, a beautiful wife, a bouncing baby boy, and a flashy MGF.

And he lost it all in one crazy night. (spent with his colleague Siobhan, no less. 8) )

He gets ejected from the show by the very man whose life he had helped build.

His wife leaves him and threatens to take their son with her.

Faced with the prospect of the single life while his wife jettisons about japan with her new lover, he learns more about life and love from the people all around him, most of whom he had never given a second thought to, and battles the very same demons of every dysfunctional marriage in modern society, head-on.

Most of all, he learns to love again, and carry on with life.

Not your typical family-melodramatics novel. Check it out if you have the time. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll sneer, and you'll snigger, but above all, you'll enjoy yourself. 8)

Currently reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Gets a little dry at times and also hard to digest, but it says alot on the Priory of Sion, Knights Templar, Cathars and the Holy Grail. Halfway through now. Somehow, the facts they produce aren't very convincing, but its up to the individual I suppose.
