On the topic of Cracked writers.. John Dies at the End was a wonderful book by the editor of the site, David Wong.
I actually had that book in my hand and was about to buy it, but it was 25 dollars for a hardcover and they didn't have paperback. That's going to be my next book... Well, after Rebel Without A Crew... and Let the Right One In, and the Fountainhead...
Also, I forgot to mention this but I'm very excited for the Dead Space novel that's supposed to be coming out this summer.
I don't think there is a hardcover. I did the same thing.. "25$.. meh." But after I read the inside sleeve and the first few pages I was hooked. It's realllllllyyyy out there, dark humor. I loved it.

I've been working my way through the works of Neil Gaiman recently. I've already bought and consumed Good Omens, Fragile Things, Neverwhere and, most recently, American Gods. I want to read Anansi Boys or start on the Sandman next, but unfortunately I've exhausted my local bookshop's Gaiman selection. So I decided to start on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Good Omens was pretty cool. It's the only book I've read by the two guys, but I did enjoy it.

I like just action filled stories so I've just been reading A LOT of Matthew Reilly's books.
His books should become video games, if they did, I'd love to see Yahtzee review them.
And the Skullduggery Pleasant series... I KNOW it's a younger kids book but I started reading the series when I was 12 and I want to see it through! And it's based in Ireland and I love imagining the accents. Irish accents FTW!
The Crucible was one of the most INFURIATING plays I have ever read JUST because you sit there and you KNOW the truth! It's fantastic but very, very infuriating.
Oh and I've been reading the Twilight series too! They are so go- JUST MESSING WITH YA!
I read The Crucible for school earlier in the year... and yes, it's lame. Which reminds me of a book that anyone who wants to know how fucked up the world reaaaaaaaally is should read immediately..

An Underground Education by Richard Zacks
It's banana pancakes the whole way through. From an Arts and Lit to Sex and the Church, this book covers just about every the textbooks like to leave out. Stories that are just too.. unpleasant for young minds.
