haven't seen supernatural for months now(since end of season5) I've been obsessed with Fringe tbh, that and reading all the Song of Ice & Fire(game of thrones)books, currently on the book1 of the last published book(book 5), it's practically all I do when I've any sparetime. Just hope that HBO don't fook up the televising of it, as so far I've been impressed by what they've done.
I may give this Game of Thrones a go once I've got through all the rest, everyone seems to think it's good.
haven't seen the 2nd season, just been reading the books which are something else, TBH from the second book onwards I would say it could be more or less unfilmable, the books are very long (some are split in two parts) and very complex, which may not translate too well on screen, they would have to be diluted down but then the essence of this immence story would be lost.
It could almost be The film is about football hooliganism and only came out recently, it doesn't have a particularly good rating on IMDb... LINK PS - its not me that is interested, its my brother (that old chestnut I here you say )
may have to get the books, havent read a good book in ages.. anyone got any good recommendations for books??
Andy McNabs series is pretty good - (the Nick Stone one ) Hunger games books are ok too ( and no there not kids books )
Cormack McCarthy books are good and many are being turned into films now, list below.... The Road All The Pretty Horses No Country For Old Men John Fante - Ask The Dust is very good Charles Bukowski - Ham on Rye Something completely different but surprisingly good - Norman Mailer - The Gospel According to the Son
Hunger games are for kids as to the book recommendations people have mentioned what are their general synopsis?? bearing in mind I like crime/murder novels/stuff on war books i have read lately are mostly crime ones, have done pretty much all the harlan coben ones, not quite upto date with Lee Childs and the Jck reacher stories.. which i recommend to anyone.. the film comes out soon of first shot i think its called.. brilliant book think the film will be ruined as they have cast tom cruise as jack reacher..
good choices - haven't read Fante, but think my GF has. do recommend this Life on the Color Line: The True Story of a White Boy Who Discovered He Was Black Gregory Williams 52 Reviews Penguin Group US, 1 Feb 1996 - 304 pages "A stunning journey to the heart of the racial dilemma in this country.

Forget the later ones then but you may like the Cormack Mcarthy book I mentioned, All The Pretty Horses....... All the Pretty Horses begins with the 1949 funeral of John Grady Cole's grandfather. With his death, John Grady's mother will sell their Texas ranch and move away. There is nothing left in Texas for John Grady, who loves the ranch and idealizes the cowboy's way of life. Only sixteen years old, John Grady runs away from home with his friend Rawlins. On horseback, they head toward the Mexican border, leading the idyllic, storybook life of migrant cowboys.
