I'm looking for some good Horror Movie Books, with only stuff from the '80s on.

Bubby... from Day of the Dead.

Where's my prize? I want my prize!!!

That was like eighty avatars back, dude.

Anyone ever read Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time?

[Karl Henning]

Dude, my schoolteacher turned me onto that, back in something like fourth grade.  I still love it.

They were discussing it on NPR yesterday. It sounds interesting.

[Karl Henning]

Yes; much later I read the sequels, they're quite good, too.

Excellent. Just ordered the first one.

Just re-read (for the upteenth time) Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth - along with D.F. Jones' Colossus trilogy.   First read the Asimov trilogy in 1968.

[Karl Henning]

You still like it?  I read the Foundation trilogy when I was a teenager, and much enjoyed it . . . but I have a feeling that I should not think so well of it, if I were to return to it, now . . . .

[Ataraxia]

I read it too, way back when, and remember being mindblown.

I read that when I was in junior high and I remember after that wanting to become a mathematician!

[Karl Henning]

Hah!

And the rest is heavy-metal history!

[Ataraxia]

I didn't get into heavy stuff until around 1997, believe it or not. I rather did that one backwards as most metal guys start as teenagers (not that I consider myself a true "metalhead").

Just like Karl, read it in elementary school.  Used to have it in hardcover, absolutely loved it then read it multiple times.

[Ataraxia]

You two obviously attended cooler schools.

Hey! On the way home yesterday I caught just a bit of that NPR piece, the voice of Madame L'Engle herself!  Very nice.
