That is a possibility, but most people i speak to about the horror genre mention them so perhaps it is just a rare thing rather than out of publication altogether. I gave away a copy of "This other eden" by Ben Elton once, i never did get it back :( Plus i must get my copy of American Psycho back before my cousin goes off to Uni! :D

Ysh, you are right, there is a similarity, Koontz' novels are always shorter though, plus they tend to have more characters. I haven't read any Herbert yet, i might look into it, i am a little tired of the horror genre though. I did quite enjoy Richard Laymons style though, he creates quite the page turners :)

:)

Koontz?? What is that old saying? "there is no worse time waster than a bad book"? I read his Strangers, I was enthralled, then severely disappointed at the end :rolleyes: :rolleyes: If a book is about aliens and little green men, I would prefer to know from the outset :rolleyes:

Herbert can be out and out horror, as King can, yet like King he is also known for his psychological and supernatural thrillers :)

Good evening, all. I am quite happy because I finally see the end of this article :)

@Tyb: Listening to Joy Division, well that really makes one feel happy, doesn't it? :D

How 'Bout them Cowboys

@ Ty, I wouldn
't have a problem with them except for the fact that they have captured 3 of my cities :mad:

@Baron....Cowboys? I should have known, I am quickly becoming surrounded by Cowboys fans :p :D

Well, fortunately not everyone can be a cowboy fan. Scayde says one of y'all has a fantasy football league

@BS: So, the Persians are giving you a headache? I suppose it is as it should be, historically :D I don't play Civ 3, the husband has it somewhere here.

@Tyb: Talking Heads? You seem to be into the kind of music many of my friends liked when there were younger, 80's new wave and postpunk and such :)

The scientific article I'm writing is a report of one of my studies. It must be finished tomorrow, and I have procrastinated for I don't know how long because it's not a very funny article.

@BaronTx: Hello, and welcome here :)

@baron, I'm in two Fantasy leagues right now, the last draft was a disaster, I got booted from the net at my pick.....twice :rolleyes: :D

@CE, it's all gonna work ut in the end, the Persians are stretching themselkves to thin, they can't hold all that land the took from me :D

@Ty....yeah, backstabbing would about sum it up.....I wouldn't care, but they beat me to the punch by about one turn :mad: :cool:

@CE: Thanks for the welcome :)

@Baron, always nice to have a head banger around :cool: Helps to keep folks on their toes.

@BS: So, good luck to you then :D

@Tyb: I had no idea you are a new wave fan, I haven't been around much in the bar threads lately...and when I'm here, I never have the time to read back. Dottie mentioned something about your brother sharing music taste with him, that's all I know. So, what are your favorite music from that era?

@BaronTX: I hope you will like it here :) As you may have noticed, the "pub threads" are for chatting and joking and general socialising, whereas there's also discussion threads where a topic may be debated.
