which books sucked...

since you asked, i shall tell you which books sucked. one of them was not available to me on the allconsuming.net list. it's called "the hunger" by whitley streiber. or strieber. can't remember. anyway, this book was made into a movie a long time ago. with catherine deneuve, for pete's sake. but it's baaaad. it's just poorly written. it's ... disjointed. i don't know any other way to discribe it. and the reactions of the characters is like ... i kept thinking to myself "hey... people don't have emotins this stilted and random. robots don't even have emotions this abrutive and chaotic." it was herky jerky. maybe it's supposed to be that way. maybe it's "stylized" and i'm supposed to be on edge. but i was really just annoyed. besides, this author also wrote a book about his real life alien abduction. so maybe that's what is really going on here. he didn't write the book, aliens took over his body and wrote the book. which is why i kept saying to myself "what the fuck is going on? why is she freakin' out like that? and what the hell is getting so mad about? what's wrong with these people?" hmmmmm.....

the other book is on my completed bookslist and it's called "harm none." i just felt like i had wiccan PR poured over me like syrup when i was done. and i am someone who finds alternative religion fascinating!!

Jodi, you ignorant slut.

"The Hunger" (1983) was first a novel by Whitley Strieber but was also a kick-ass movie staring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon, and Cate and David were VAMPIRES! Also, there's a super cool scene of Sarandon and Deneuve making out. Dude, any movie where David Bowie is playing a vampire is double plus good with me. Even more fun is the opening scene which features a Goth club, in which the young Goths are being hunted by vamps, and Bauhaus is singing "Bella Lugosi's Dead" live at the club.

Sadly, this movie is not available from Netflix, but if you find it at the local video store, check it out.
