I remember playing a video game in which you fought against vambies (half zombie, half vampire).

Now, I'm actually reading that, due to your recommendation. I'm halfway through, and it seems to be a good book, although I don't yet want to come to a final conclusion.
But it's no easy read for someone with English as a second language, I can tell you. I find it harder than I did "Trainspotting".

Just posted a new topic on this but try the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. The first one of seven is The Gunslinger. Should keep you quiet for a while. I'm near the end of number seven.

Ah, my sister recommended that. Its more than a decade ago that I picked up a Stephen King book - I can test read hers next time I'm at her house.

Might be best to try his updated versions. The original was written when he was just starting out and by the time he finished the last one he was an established novelist so did a bit of a rewrite of the earlier ones.

damn, I posted an answer to this topic last night... I must have hit "preview" instead of post... oh well, whatever...

Damn Spider pig

Connie Willis writes very good thought provoking stuff, for less thinking, theres Jasper Ffords Nursery Crime books, Charlaine Harris's 'dead' series.

Ian Rankin's Rebus novels are very good!

Can anyone tell me something about Trudi Canavan?
I have to opportunity to pick up one of her books in an exchange. (The Magician´s Apprentice). I know nothing of her or about her, though.
