KWM01 (7:03:08 PM): good book KWM01 (7:03:49 PM): hated the ending though QueenSidhe (7:04:10 PM): yup. I like the scene in the second book where the US person gets hurt and the Chinese person has to take over. KWM01 (7:04:23 PM): yeah QueenSidhe (7:04:24 PM): You want to see the missing scene for the end of the third book KWM01 (7:04:33 PM): yes! KWM01 (7:06:03 PM): looks like zor's going to be really late QueenSidhe (7:06:09 PM): Yup. QueenSidhe (7:06:20 PM): So, did you reread Laughing Corpse? KWM01 (7:06:37 PM): Fast slim.:-) KWM01 (7:06:41 PM): skim KWM01 (7:07:24 PM): I was busy getting my car fixed QueenSidhe (7:07:37 PM): What happened to your car? KWM01 (7:08:02 PM): I got rear-ended KWM01 (7:08:25 PM): I've been getting the same bad joke all week. QueenSidhe (7:09:13 PM): ouch QueenSidhe (7:09:21 PM): insurance pays, right? KWM01 (7:09:30 PM): Because I'm from SF everybody keeps saying "Well, did you enjoy it?" KWM01 (7:09:44 PM): yup (7:10:16 PM) Z0rPr1me has entered the room. QueenSidhe (7:10:18 PM): ahh. KWM01 (7:10:24 PM): Hi Zor QueenSidhe (7:10:24 PM): that's a baaaaaad joke Z0rPr1me (7:10:28 PM): heya! QueenSidhe (7:10:29 PM): Hiya Zor. KWM01 (7:10:30 PM): yeah Z0rPr1me (7:10:40 PM): hows everyone? KWM01 (7:11:05 PM): In pain:-) Z0rPr1me (7:11:10 PM): doh QueenSidhe (7:11:34 PM): I'm doing okay. Work is doing poorly and I'm still coughing, but otherwise good. KWM01 (7:12:14 PM): and you? Z0rPr1me (7:12:20 PM): doing good.... Z0rPr1me (7:12:52 PM): in fact pretty good... was coughing badly this weekend... but now all is ok Z0rPr1me (7:13:07 PM): sorry for not being on time :) QueenSidhe (7:13:10 PM): that's good QueenSidhe (7:13:15 PM): No prob, Zor. QueenSidhe (7:13:24 PM): So, did you have enough time to finish the book? lol Z0rPr1me (7:14:13 PM): rofl Z0rPr1me (7:14:15 PM): yea Z0rPr1me (7:14:21 PM): u? QueenSidhe (7:15:15 PM): Yup. QueenSidhe (7:15:29 PM): So, what did you think? Z0rPr1me (7:16:10 PM): was good... but I prefer the first one. QueenSidhe (7:16:17 PM): why? Z0rPr1me (7:16:18 PM): there was some good stuff in it tho KWM01 (7:16:47 PM): personally it was my favorite of the series. Z0rPr1me (7:17:02 PM): Since it was not the first one... scene at the laughing corpse was too similar mb to the scene at the guilty pleasure... KWM01 (7:17:04 PM): no wait KWM01 (7:17:12 PM): that was bloody bones Z0rPr1me (7:17:36 PM): I prefer the story in the first one... killing the master vampire Z0rPr1me (7:17:55 PM): that "Senora" was not very good QueenSidhe (7:17:55 PM): Hmm. The first time, I pretty much skimmed through the first couple books. My fav is Burnt Offerings QueenSidhe (7:18:07 PM): We didn't get to see much of her Z0rPr1me (7:18:32 PM): and it was pretty obvious that she was responsible for all the things... I dunno... it was good but the first one was better KWM01 (7:18:40 PM): sorry read the entire series all in four days and they blur. :-) Z0rPr1me (7:19:03 PM): I really like the scene with the cops... the wager they took. The one who disgust the other one wins Z0rPr1me (7:19:06 PM): it was hilarious QueenSidhe (7:19:20 PM): hehehe. Z0rPr1me (7:19:22 PM): the way they were describing the things they saw Z0rPr1me (7:19:59 PM): btw are all the titles a name of a bar or pub they go in the story ? or do they means actually something Z0rPr1me (7:20:08 PM): cuz I didn't saw the link to a laughing corpse QueenSidhe (7:20:40 PM): Usually it's a store or other building in the book QueenSidhe (7:21:03 PM): The next book, Circus of the Damned is the building where the vamps stay QueenSidhe (7:21:20 PM): I want to reread that one. I liked some of the scenes in there and I want to refresh my memory Z0rPr1me (7:21:42 PM): well I hope we continue reading the series QueenSidhe (7:21:51 PM): Sure! Z0rPr1me (7:21:54 PM): the book was not bad... Z0rPr1me (7:22:04 PM): it was just not better than the first one... IMO 'tho Z0rPr1me (7:22:10 PM): :-) QueenSidhe (7:22:28 PM): Up until around Narcisus in Chains, things were pretty good. QueenSidhe (7:22:46 PM): Then I think Hamilton switched to trying to entice the romance people and things started to suck Z0rPr1me (7:22:51 PM): beside I had a problem with the end... how they kill the monster... by saying Jesus... I dunno... Anita seems to collapse but thats it... is it me or the ending just plainly sux ? :) Z0rPr1me (7:23:08 PM): well that sad... Z0rPr1me (7:23:14 PM): the last one better tho right? QueenSidhe (7:23:37 PM): yes, it was better than Narcisus. KWM01 (7:23:57 PM): Please lets not reread Narcisus in Chains.:-) QueenSidhe (7:24:05 PM): I liked it because Anita starts analyzing herself more. Instead of that little bit in the last chapter KWM01 (7:24:43 PM): It was bad enough the first time. QueenSidhe (7:25:07 PM): lol Z0rPr1me (7:26:01 PM): lol QueenSidhe (7:26:07 PM): I hated what they did, taking the first couple chapters of Narcissus in putting that in the romance anthology Hamilton was supposed to be a part of. Z0rPr1me (7:26:19 PM): well... I think I'll skip that one :) QueenSidhe (7:26:36 PM): If people had never seen Hamilton's stuff before, reading the antho would turn them off Hamilton, IMO. QueenSidhe (7:27:35 PM): Anyway, back to Laughing Corpse. QueenSidhe (7:27:47 PM): I didn't really like the ending of that zombie. Z0rPr1me (7:27:57 PM): same QueenSidhe (7:28:03 PM): When he asked Anita to put him back into the ground, why didn't she? KWM01 (7:28:28 PM): ::shrug:: Z0rPr1me (7:29:12 PM): heh QueenSidhe (7:30:12 PM): What happened after he asked Anita? I don't remember but it seemed like he somehow got away from her? Or is this when she shoots him, just before she passes out? Z0rPr1me (7:30:34 PM): I dont remember Z0rPr1me (7:30:39 PM): was this in anita house? KWM01 (7:30:49 PM): me niether:-) QueenSidhe (7:30:56 PM): No, this was on the street KWM01 (7:32:46 PM): wow, we are slow tonight.:-) Z0rPr1me (7:32:51 PM): hmmm... at the start or at the end? Z0rPr1me (7:32:54 PM): lol KWM01 (7:33:04 PM): both? Z0rPr1me (7:33:06 PM): was afk... getting a drink QueenSidhe (7:33:59 PM): What do you mean start/end? Z0rPr1me (7:34:18 PM): start of the book or at the end? QueenSidhe (7:34:35 PM): oh, end. when they kill the zombie. police and exterminators Z0rPr1me (7:34:41 PM): k QueenSidhe (7:35:28 PM): the animator zombie QueenSidhe (7:35:44 PM): I'm still trying to figure out why she didn't lay him to rest. lol KWM01 (7:36:03 PM): lazy?:-) QueenSidhe (7:36:12 PM): lol Z0rPr1me (7:36:24 PM): lol Z0rPr1me (7:37:16 PM): well I remember the animator zombie but I dont remember she didnt want to put him back to the ground Z0rPr1me (7:37:25 PM): lazy head QueenSidhe (7:37:38 PM): Well, it might not be that she didn't want to. She just doesn't Z0rPr1me (7:37:48 PM): she kills it? QueenSidhe (7:37:59 PM): she shoots it a bunch of times in the head before she passes out QueenSidhe (7:38:04 PM): then the police burn it QueenSidhe (7:38:17 PM): but basically, she kills it QueenSidhe (7:38:34 PM): Hmm. I wonder if zombie rights is ever mentioned in the later books. QueenSidhe (7:38:42 PM): dinner time. be back in a bit, okay? Z0rPr1me (7:38:45 PM): k KWM01 (7:38:55 PM): k QueenSidhe (7:38:59 PM): I'll hurry. :) Z0rPr1me (7:39:13 PM): cool :) KWM01 (7:39:19 PM): So what are you reading next Zor?

KWM01 (7:58:58 PM): Ishmael QueenSidhe (7:59:11 PM): I just know the name of the whale, not the captain who was chasing him, lol KWM01 (7:59:25 PM): :-) KWM01 (7:59:42 PM): You remember Nemo right? KWM01 (8:00:09 PM): 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea QueenSidhe (8:00:15 PM): No. Did he have something to do with a sub?

QueenSidhe (8:08:50 PM): should be interesting though. QueenSidhe (8:08:55 PM): I'll have to reread #3. QueenSidhe (8:09:00 PM): what's this one about?

As long as the vamp does all the work of making money. QueenSidhe (8:10:19 PM): Yeah. Z0rPr1me (8:10:20 PM): lol QueenSidhe (8:10:54 PM): Plenty of time to wait for all those authors to come out with new books. QueenSidhe (8:11:02 PM): Just need to develop the patience to wait. Z0rPr1me (8:11:12 PM): LOL Z0rPr1me (8:11:20 PM): that would be hyper cool QueenSidhe (8:11:33 PM): :D KWM01 (8:11:52 PM): patience, please explain this thing patience.:-) QueenSidhe (8:11:57 PM): lol Z0rPr1me (8:12:00 PM): heh QueenSidhe (8:12:09 PM): hehehe QueenSidhe (8:12:19 PM): Speaking of patience...
