    The subject is pretty self explanatory.
    The first time I read this book was when I was about 13 I think. It made a real impact on me, because it reminded me of the mortality of each and every person in this world. We all have to face death in the end. I just finished reading it for the second time. I'm 18 now and this book was just as amazing as the first time I read it, if not better.
    So here you go, an extract from Richard Bachman's (Stephen King's pseudonym) book, "The Long Walk".
    Barkovitch laughed out of the darkness, a high, gobbling sound, thin and terrifying.
    "Not yet, you whores! I ain't gone yet! Not yeeeeeeetttttt . . . "
    His voice kept climbing and climbing. It was like a fire whistle gone insane. And
    Barkovitch's hands suddenly went up like startled doves taking flight and Barkovitch
    ripped out his own throat.
    "My Jesus!" Pearson wailed, and threw up over himself.
    They fled from him, fled and scattered ahead and behind, and barkovitch went on
    screaming and gobbling and clawing and walking, his feral face turned up to the sky,
    his mouth a twisted curve of darkness.
    Then the fire-whistle sound began to fail, and Barkovitch failed with it. He fell
    down and they shot him, dead or alive.

    "Humor won’t save you; it doesn’t really do anything at all. You can look at life ironically for years, maybe decades; there are people who seem to go through most of their lives seeing the funny side, but in the end, life always breaks your heart. Doesn’t matter how brave you are, how reserved, or how much you’ve developed a sense of humor, you still end up with your heart broken. That’s when you stop laughing. In the end there’s just the cold, the silence and the loneliness. In the end, there’s only death."

    She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

    I love the way King built it up at the start. "The Long Walk" was the first book of his that I read, and because I was thirteen and naive, I really wasn't expecting what I was presented with. I had no idea that the walkers were going to be killed off once they get their three warnings until the first guy bought his ticket. It was quite a shock.

    I'm not lying. It was like, 2002 or 2003 at Fort Dorchester High School in Charleston S.C. The teacher was the name of Wade Tabor. He apparently wrote a book called Miller's Rules, but I never read it, kinda shortish white dude, military style haircut, claimed to have a hot wife. I also remember him using some sort of file sharing software on his class computer. The guy had some balls, looking back on it.

    How long can we maintain? I wondered. How long before one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family. Will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so—well, we’ll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere. Because it goes without saying that we can’t turn him loose. He’ll report us at once to some kind of outback nazi law enforcement agency, and they’ll run us down like dogs.

    Jesus! Did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me? I glanced over at my attorney, but he seemed oblivious - watching the road, driving our Great Red Shark along at a hundred and ten or so.

    There was no sound from the back seat. Maybe I’d better have a chat with this boy, I thought. Perhaps if I explain things, he’ll rest easy. Of course. I leaned around in the seat and gave him a fine big smile... admiring the shape of his skull.

    “By the way,” I said. “There’s one thing you should probably understand.”
    He stared at me, not blinking. Was he gritting his teeth?
    “Can you hear me?” I yelled.
    He nodded.
    “That’s good,” I said. “Because I want you to know that we’re on our way to Las Vegas to find the American Dream.” I smiled. “That’s why we rented this car. It was the only way to do it. Can you grasp that?”
    He nodded again, but his eyes were nervous.
    “I want you to have all the background,” I said. “Because this is a very ominous assignment—with overtones of extreme personal danger....Hell, I forgot all about this beer; you want one?”
    He shook his head.
    “How about some ether?” I said.
    “What?"
    “Never mind".

    Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
    And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.
    Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass, and so the idea was lost, seemingly for ever.
    This is her story.

    "The Curse of Lono is a book by Hunter S. Thompson describing his experiences in Hawaii in 1980. Originally published in 1983, the book was only in print for a short while. In 2005 it was re-released as a limited edition. Only 1000 copies were produced, each one being signed by the author and artist Ralph Steadman. Due to Steadman's popularity the book contained a large number of his drawings and paintings. The book is now available as a smaller hardcover edition, with no cut off date."

    Crawford saw them suddenly go quiet and respectful and urge each other out in whispers: "Come on, Jess. Let's go out in the yard." And Crawford saw that the atmosphere had changed here in the presence of the dead: that wherever this victim came from, whoever she was, the river had carried her into the country, and while she lay helpless in this room in the country, Clarice Starling had a special relationship to her. Crawford saw that in this place Starling was heir to the granny women, to the wise women, the herb healers, the stalwart country women who have always done the needful, who keep the watch and when the watch is over, wash and dress the country dead.

    "Anyone who clings to the historically untrue — and thoroughly immoral — doctrine that "violence never solves anything" I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

    Yep. Returned home from work, she'd gone batshit insane(r) from "experimenting" (read: excessive overuse) with meth, and she'd carved my entire book collection into chunks with my chef's knives. The one I really, really am pissed about was my signed Chuck Palahniuk collection - it had a bit of advice in my copy of "Invisible Monsters".

    Incipits:

    Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

    What can and doesn't have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be.

    "I couldn't breathe.
    He hesitated-not in the normal way, the human way.
    Not that way a man might hesitate before kissing a woman, to gauge her reaction, to see how much would be recieved. Perhaps her would hesitate to prolong the moment, that ideal moment of anticipation, sometimes better than the kiss itself.
    Edward hesitated to test himself, to see if this was safe, to make sure he was still in control of his need.
    And then his cold, marble lips pressed very softly against mine.
    What neither of us was prepared for was me response.
    Blood boiled under my skin, burned in my lips. My breath came in a wild gasp. My fingers knotted in his hair, clutching him to me. My lips parted as I breathed in his heady scent."

    I can not tell about what happened in Hotin, in the remote country of Russia. Not because I don't remember, but because I won't. It's not worth to talk of horrific murder, of human fear, the bestiality of both sides, it shouldn't be remembered, nor mourned nor celebrated. It is best to forget, to let die mans memory of all that is ugly, and for children not to sing songs about revenge.

    I had better results that way; one perk of working in one of the largest bookstores in the United States - you meet a lot of literate, often-attractive women.

    ...just need to learn how not to vomit whenever I hear some 300-lb. cankle monster ask if I can direct them to the Stephanie Meyer books. Were I to have my way, it'd be on the far end of a rifle range.

    Even people who were not there remembered vividly exactly what happened next. There was the briefest, softest tsst! filtering audibly through the shattering, overwhelming howl of the plane's engines, and then there were just Kid Sampson's two pale, skinny legs, still joined by strings somehow at the bloody truncated hips, standing stock-still on the raft for what seemed a full minute or two before they toppled over backward into the water finally with a faint, echoing splash and turned completely upside down so that only the grotesque toes and the plaster-white soles of Kid Sampson's feet remained in view.

    "Where are you going?" she asks again.
    I make no comment, lost in my own private maze, thinking about other things: warrants, stock offerings, ESOPs, LBOs, IPOs, finances, refinances, debentures, converts, proxy statements, 8-Ks, 10-Qs, zero coupons, PiKs, GNPs, the IMF, hot executive gadgets, billionaires, Kenkichi Nakajima, infinity, Infinity, how fast a luxury car should go, bailouts, junk bonds, whether to cancel my subscription to The Economist, the Christmas Eve when I was fourteen and had raped one of our maids, Inclusivity, envying someone's life, whether someone could survive a fractured skull, waiting in airports, stifling a scream, credit cards and someone's passport and a book of matches from La Côte Basque splattered with blood, surface surface surface, a Rolls is a Rolls is a Rolls. To Evelyn our relationship is yellow and blue, but to me it's a gray place, most of it blacked out, bombed, footage from the film in my head is endless shots of stone and any language heard is utterly foreign, the sound flickering away over new images: blood pouring from automated tellers, women giving birth through their assholes, embryos frozen or scrambled (which is it?), nuclear warheads, billions of dollars, the total destruction of the world, someone gets beaten up, someone else dies, sometimes bloodlessly, more often mostly by rifle shot, assassinations, comas, life played out as a sitcom, a blank canvas that reconfigures itself into a soap opera. It's an isolation ward that serves only to expose my own severely impaired capacity to feel. I am at its center, out of season, and no one ever asks me for any identification. I suddenly imagine Evelyn's skeleton, twisted and crumbling, and this fills me with glee. It takes a long time to answer her question-Where are you going?-but after a sip of the port, then the dry beer, rousing myself, I tell her, at the same time wondering: If I were an actual automaton what difference would there really be?

    Not the first excerpt I wanted to use. There is a chapter where Patrick Bateman is on some unnamed drug as he stumbles through a department store listing quite literally everything he sees. Its a short chapter, but it has always stood out as the strongest chapter I have read in anything. It doesn't have any punctuation beyond commas, so your brain can't stop, it rolls through at lightning speed.

    Catch-22. here's another bit from the same scene...

    But Yossarian understood suddenly why McWatt wouldn't jump, and went running uncontrollably down the whole length of the squadron after McWatt's plane, waving his arms and shouting up at him imploringly to come down, McWatt, come down; but no one seemed to hear, certainly not McWatt, and a great, choking moan tore from Yossarian's throat as McWatt turned again, dipped his wings once in salute, decided oh, well, what the hell, and flew into a mountain.
    Colonel Cathcart was so upset by the deaths of Kid Sampson and McWatt that he raised the missions to sixty-five.
