I need more Deep Purple, I have Machine Head on vinyl, but that is about it. Ozzy-era Sabbath is actually a lot more thought provoking than most people give it credit for.

I only mentioned it to make sure people realized I wasn't mentioning it. 

You still mentioned it. It sucked really bad from what I remember.

It did, which is a shame, as the book's incredible.

Can't go wrong with Fireball or In Rock.

H.G. Wells is probably my favourite author and I haven't yet read War of the Worlds.  I bought a copy last week though.

And yes, I've heard the Jeff Wayne album and seen the sh*tty Cruise film.

I might add In Rock to my to-buy list.

Thumbs Up

A Person, why are you rating a book before you've finished reading it?

It is kind of sad to remember that he was that guy in Rain Man.

I've got a really cool edition of the book:

There are illustrations inside as well.

What Dustin Hoffman? LOLEmbarrassed

Bad joke.

Still, it could have been worse, he could have played Forrest Gump.

George Orwell and Stephen King are my favourite authors. Both amazing.

I'm rereading it. There was no reread option though.

Never read any King... I do plan to eventually though.

My mate reads Dean Koontz.

No, it is funny though because I updated it with 7 pages left.

Yes, I commented on there saying something about it.

It's really bugging me, but I can't seem to fix it.
