New one on me.

Genre ?

Any particular era/time ?

Does she lean more towards Sherlock Holms/Miss Marples or more of the horror type ?

A good detective type novel set in a time/era I'm interested in would be well worth checking out.

sounds interesting, i mite look into getting my hands on a book and read it. need something new the read.


Hellfire.

Never heard of her, sorry. Craig- go for Poe, he's the king of the genre, he practically invented it.

"The Raven" is one of my favourite poems, I've been reading a lot of poetry this year at Uni and I just fell in love with this poem, it's so creepy! I've studied the whole metric system it has and it's amazing how well it fits, straight to the point. There's also a good Hebrew translation for it, with the same metric system (must've been really difficult) and it sounds great but very hard- no one uses these words nowadays. Mind you, no one really knows Hebrew nowadays!

Lol I never watch horror films as I get scared (I'm so girly sometimes) but I like horror books- they're not really scary and they keep you on the edge. I don't like detective type novels as there's usually no depth in them and it's not the type of novels I like reading. I enjoy a bit of Post Modernism for fun but I mostly like Modernism- a lot of plot, meaning, drama, crazy personalities and psychoanalysis.

^^^ Try Laurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. Has all of the above and a few other things, too.

For me... I read a book several years ago that was sort of a detective/mystery set in ancient Rome.
