I can't remember if I have read Day of the Triffids, but it sounds familiar enough that I feel like I have...obviously a time for a re-read! Haha!

Yes, I like that films are challenging peoples' minds more, I just wish people would generalize what they learn in movies like District 9 to real life. Most of the time, they respond with indignation that anyone would be treated in such a way, but then go on with their lives never noticing (or noticing and not caring) that it happens right at home

Holly says:

The Midwich Cuckoos was good as well, have you read that one?

Holly says:

I'm so sorry for the horribly tardy response! I really enjoyed the Chrysalids. I find that when we have to observe prejudice from a distance (such as that which we see in Chrysalids), we become more aware of how silly it is in general. Dystopian novels like this make us look at ourselves a little closer. (I've actually noticed a growing trend in this sort of genre developing in film as well! Super 8 and District 9 being notable examples).

Holly says:

I really liked it! It was a really interesting take on post-apocalyptic society and the whole mentality of "other". I read it years ago, I plan on reading it again when I get a chance. What did you think?

Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

Hey Troy!

Thanks for the note. I still haven't gotten around to reading Cemetery Dance yet because I have a mountain of books that I need to read. I'm glad to hear that you liked it. That motivates me to push it closer to the top of my reading pile.

I hope you have a great weekend! Happy reading!

Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

I cannot wait to read it either! You'll have to let me know your thoughts on it. I already read some spoilers, so I think is has the potential to be a great read. I hope you enjoy it!

Candace says:

Hi Troy, same here, nice to meet you. I see that you are a fellow horror fan. I picked out some reads from your horror list. I loved the Exorcist.
Happy Reading.

Prey is one of my favourite books. I just got completely wrapped up in the story. Jurassic Park is another one of my favourites by Crichton.

Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

I can't wait either! I often count down the days before a new Pendergast novel is released. He is just such an intriguing character.

Lady Ethereal Butterfly says:

You are more than welcome. I couldn't miss the opportunity to be friends with someone who loved Still Life with Crows and Cabinet of Curiosities as much as I did. You're a fellow Penderholic!!
