i guess if you really are into the hero war stories and thats your thing than you will really like them.

there are alot better books out there to spend your time reading.

hehe, well basically all of your books are movies, and Count of Monte Cristo is the single best book I have ever read. But then again, im totally into Oriental film and sotry telling, so nuance and intricacy i die for hehe. The book is the best revenge anyone could ever hope to have. If you think you have read about power, you havent. It is incredible, its bad ass in the way that Princess Bride was bad ass, by using that kind of old time idea of ultime power.

Christian Bale...his body in American Psycho made me start working out again. Classic!

hehe i know theyre movies but its because the books were so good and the movie adaption then made. i might have a look into that book you said, sounds interesting and American Psycho is one of the funniest movies ive ever watched. The scene in his apartment where hes setting up the room and his chainsaw etc and hes just calmly chatting away to the woman about the music thats on

Its kinda hard to explain. But William Gibson is the best sci/fi author in the last couple of years and everyone should go out and read every single one of his books imediatly.
