I'm not a big fan of most of the rest of their stuff. Bullet seems out of place in many ways. A hard rocker for sure. Sepultura did a heavy ass cover of Bullet.

Ryan, Frankenstein was a really good book, and such an iconic one crossing so many genres of the modern world. And yeah, Clint is always good for a few one liners.<br /><br /> benjibopper, I didn’t even think of Satanic Verses but now that you mention it I might have picked that one too. Yeah, I agree Never Cry Wolf is very much narrative nonfiction, and only Mowat knows how much is absolutely true. Great book though.<br /><br /> staceyjwarner, thanks for visiting. All the books I picked are basically classics in their genres, or classics in general. Good stuff.<br /><br /> Laurie Powers, feel free to twist it around however you want. If I’d been listing the ten books I wanted to have written some Louis L’Amour would have been on there.<br /><br /> Cloudia, thanks. I enjoy thinking about such weird stuff.<br /><br /> Greg Schwartz, and so influential. I love the idea of a book I’ve written spawning sequels and movies years and years later.<br /><br /> jennifer, yeah, we are all in that number so to speak. Stairway to Heaven has been my favorite song since the first time I heard it.<br /><br /> Ocean Girl, lol. That line could be the theme line for bloggers perhaps?<br /><br /> JR's Thumbprints, I like the Ramones but I don’t think I’m that big a fan.<br /><br /> ivan, lol. Definitely mostly genre stuff here, but that’s what I’ve read most.<br /><br /> ARCHAVIST, I’m a really huge fan of short stories. I’ve just read so many wonderful ones.<br /><br /> Steve Malley, Eastwood is always good for a few one liners. There are plenty more I could have selected besides those five. And some cool ones from other movies as well.<br /><br /> Rowe, I like that song pretty well. It’s actually the only Nirvana song I’ve heard that I do like, but I’ve only heard what plays on the radio.<br /><br /> BernardL, it was hard to pick something from Poe. He’s got a lot of great stuff. And yeah, The valley of the worm is my favorite Howard and I like a lot of his stuff too.<br /><br /> laughingwolf, that should be cool. I don’t even know what a wacom tablet is though.<br /><br /> jodi, the blogosphere wouldn’t be much fun if everyone had the same tastes. I enjoy being amazed at the tastes (or lack thereof) of my friends. :)Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-66841230353765163992009-10-24T08:22:52.600-05:002009-10-24T08:22:52.600-05:00Charles, It's amazing how much I enjoy your bl...Charles, It's amazing how much I enjoy your blog considering we have opposite tastes in books, music, movies, etc. And I am sure you feel the same way about me.
