I'm finishing up reading Watership Down.

Not sure what book I'll read next.

"I, Lucifer" by Glen Duncan. I haven't read this one in years but I need something different.

"A Nomad of the Time Streams" by Michael Moorcock. Excellent Steam Punk stories full of warships of the air, steam engines, a disgruntled British imperialist turned anarchist and time travel.

Hi MoonCreature. As You can see by my username I'm a big fan of Michael Moorcock. I read his stuff back in the mid 70s and he was one of my main inspirations to become Goth. Elric of Melnibone is by far his finest creation. Let me know what you think of it. I have all the Elric novels, some from back in the late 1960s and I love them. - Pete

Hi Bourbonboy, as I said to MoonCreature, I'm a big fam of Moorcock (hence dubbing myself Stormbringer) the guy's a phemomenon and contributed a lot to the creation of steampunk and dare I say, goth itself. Enjoy !

Currently reading Clive Barker's The Books of Blood: Volume 4 and Abarat. I'm also working my way through A Feast for Crows. I'm hoping to start Barker's new book The Scarlet Gospels soon.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been a little busy lately. "Nomad of the Timestreams" was the first book I picked up by Moorcock and still love reading it from time to time. I've truly felt for a long time that the great fantasy film that was never made was regarding Elric of Melniboné since it's been in production limbo forever. Gotta confess though, I've always enjoyed his sci-fi over his fantasy but you have to admire a writer who can connect all of his stories in one unique multiverse.

The Gumshoe, The Witch & The Virtual Corpse by Keith Hartman. This book is pretty random, lots of nonsensical twists. I'm in the middle of the book and I still have no idea where the plot is heading. Things are getting pretty interesting though... I hope. Lol

Am I the only one who consumes books and reads many chapters of different books every day? I am currently engrossed in Harry Potter, Maze Runner, Hunger Games (yes I do so enjoy my escape in fantasy) and the Castle of Otranto. I welcome any book suggestions...I do go through them so quickly.

If you like Walpole's Castle of Otranto Luna, you'll love Anne Radcliffe's The Mysteries Of Udolpho (1794) - the gothic novel par excellence. It's a challenging read at times but beautifully written and vastly rewarding, Ms Radcliffe was a best selling author in her day.

Very intriguing...thank you for the suggestion, Stormbringer. I think I will enjoy this very much.

See if you can get the Penguin Classics edition (inexpensive and easy to find), it has a fascinating introduction and notes at the back. Anne Radcliffe is little known today but she had many admirers in her day; the Bronte sisters, Lord Byron, Mary Shelley and Horace Walpole. And her heroine Emily is easy to fall in love with.

My, my thank you for the suggestions. As soon as I can get my claws on these books I will surely devour them.

Picked up an Anne Rice book from the op shop to re-read (Taltos) but it's not holding up well. Reading for the enjoyable descriptions of clothing, makeup and food... but actually finding the characters really irritating.
