Hello, was watching a video on the horror maze icebeg and searched for Cracked, saw your post about it and now I'm here! Use to read a lot but really fallen off the wagon a bit and just been bingeing movies and KZitem but after watching this at the start of the day, I am currently half through Less than Zero and about to start reading again now before bed. Thanks, had forgotten how much better I feel when I've been reading, but may also be feeling especially good as I've got a massive crush on you and think you are totally drop dead gorgeous! Either way, its book before bed, instead of staring at youtube till the early hours! Content or beauty you've made my day a lot better. Thank-you, Zobo.

Utterly brilliant list! We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver is full of profound insights. The Collector by John Fowles is brilliantly creepy, the ultimate clash of class and personality. I look forward to reading Grotesque by Mark Foster (not to be confused with The Grotesque by Patrick McGrath, published in 1989), and also In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami. .

I will have to add We Need to Talk About Kevin in my wishlist. It's true, being a mom isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but I will say rewarding. No one said it would be easy nor is there a guide out there to help because every child is unique and I wish parents would stop trying to make one sibling like the other. I love the sameness and differences in both my boys. My oldest is why, but can be outgoing, plus he will be my artistic one since he is very good at drawing and my youngest is talkative, a natural at sports, and might be my little rocker. Both will be bookworms.

There's one scene in that book in particular near towards the end of the book that I'm still thinking about. it's one of those that will surely stay with you.

Some things will start to make a lot more sense. Keep in mind: The doll is American. The ventriloquist is Japanese and he is mocking American tourists.

My girlfriend got me _In The Miso Soup_ because I really liked _Piercing_ by the same author. I haven't gotten around to starting it, but I guess I should now. A book that I really like is _Unwind._ A messed up story about kids being sent to harvest camps where they get their organs taken. Since their organs are still being used they technically are still living. Kinda poking at the ongoing argument between pro-life and pro-choice.

It takes a lot to scare me. I watched the best horror movies while laughing and munching on chips. There is one story which actually scared me years ago. It is called "To Have and to Hold" by Gary Brandner, who passed away in 2013. A story written rather sexily, depicts how a man is having sex with his wife. In the end of the story, it is revealed that his wife actually was murdered by him one month before and he has been making love to her decaying corpse for some time. That shit really scared me. I love this list. I've got Story of the Eye and would love to collect the rest. Thank you. Edit: Being a holder of a master's degree in English literature, it's a sin on my part to make silly grammatical mistakes. I've corrected them. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Thank you.
