Well, yeah it was repetitive but I just kept on reading anyway because I felt that the book would haunt me if I didn't finish it. I have a tendency to finish the books that I started. Anyway I thought you were talking about the gross factor of the book. Did you like like it at all?

Of course I loved it. But it's a hard love. And also, it is a bummer that his philosophies are so full of holes. Still, the "Soldality of the Friends of Crime" was a hoot. I loved reading that part best. What did you like?

Most bad-ass writer? Now that is a tough one. I really like Stephen King, because his tales always draw me in and make me feel like I'm in the story. On the other hand, Kurt Vonnegut makes you think just how silly we are as a species. And then of course there's ol' Edgar Allen, who was the precursor to guys like Edgar Rice, and our boy King.

I think a badass Author is J.D. Salinger, I mean "Catcher in the Rye" was the best book i've ever read.
but i have a question:
Other than Brom Stoker and Anne Rice, who else writes good vampire stories/books?

Well, There was a pretty good one called, "I am Dracula" a while ago. And there's the Brian Lumley "Necroscope" series, but only the first couple are good.
For fine vampire literature, I suggest some short story collections. The Penguin Book of Great Vampire Stories is pretty good. There was one called The Dracula Book of Vampire Stories published in the late 70s that had a lot of 19th century stuff.
Also, for the real vampire fans out there, I suggest Paul Barber's Vampires, Burial, and Death. It is an awesome read that looks at vampire stories (nonfiction) in history and vampires as an athropological phenomenon. Don't say I never gave ya nuthin.

Catcher in the Rye was awesome!! That was pretty bad ass for the fifties. George Orwell was also, 1984 is banned in a lot of countries because of the sex scenes (which are pretty tame, but, considering the times.) Oscar Wilde was kinda badass. The Picture of Dorian Gray was originally a novellette (I think) in a magazine, but he had to tone it down because people were outraged by the homosexual vibe they got from it ^_^ He was gay but his lover's father renounced him as a "sodomite" and he was sentenced to years of hard labour. Pretty cool guy.

*Amen* I do contend Equisite Corpse has the best bag of bones this side of forever. I've never been so revolted as when reading about her character in EC...but.
But.
My favorite author, still, is Stan Lee.

As for vampire stories, does anyone remember "Of Saints and Shadows"? I remember that as being very good but I don't remember a sequel. Unfortunately, it was written by a man and has erotica in it. Men suck at writing erotica.

Have you read The Candy Men? It's really erotica I assure you. Then again that's just my opinion. You'd have to see for yourself.^.^

The most badassed author is the man in my user icon: William Burroughs.
Poppy Z. Brite and Jack Ketchum do come pretty fuckin close, though.

Yeah, Jack Ketchum's pretty cool. It's a shame that his movies based on his books aren't that great.

Probably a silly thing to ask but did you read "Candide?" He like totally wasted Jean-Jacque Rouseau"s optimistic philosophy.
So frick'n funny.
