I found a book at my library called, "Kong Reborn" by Russell Blackford. I saw this and I read the back, this is what it said,

At the Dawn of the new millennium, New York City spruced up to celebrate with the party of the century. Even the city's famous skyscrapers got their first cleaning in many, many decades. it was there, at the windswept heights of the Empire State Building's soaring towers, that the discovery of a lifetime was made. The dried pool of black, tarry material proved to be none other than a giant drop of blood from the only creature ever to have scaled New York's tallest building: It was the blood of Kong.

Several years later, Jack Denham, grandson of entrepreneur Carl Denham, came into possession of some of this material. And he knew what to do with it, for Jack was a trained scientist and an expert in genetic manipulation. His company had already created a new form of wheat to feed the world's starving masses, and a new bio-organism that eats oil spills from broken tankers. Now, Jack and his team are ready to clone the King.

Against enormous odds, a second Kong is born in the heart of Manhattan. But once the news is out, Jack's main competitor, mega-tycoon Chariton Hemming, claims that Kong is his, and the law seems to be on Hemming's side. Hemming and Jack strike a devil's bargain, Jack can keep Kong, but he must take Hemming to mysterious Skull Island, where the giant ape was born, and where Hemming can take advantage of the island's ancient flora and fauna for new genetic experiments. However, Kong turns out not to be the only giant the island has spawned, nor the only monster from prehistoric times that has survived.

That's the entire back, It sounds interesting to me when I read that there was another giant on the island. I think it would be cool. I haven't gotten too far, but I am trying to finish it.

Just finished C.S. Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet, which I got for Christmas. It was an incredible read and I can't wait to get my hands on the other two in the Space Trilogy. I'll be starting on The Last of the Mohicans (another Christmas gift) before too long. I know the movie was fantastic, so I'll see if I can enjoy the book as much.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

If 1/3rd of this stuff actually happened to Thompson then I wonder how he managed to survive... good stuff.

Just finished William Peter Blatty's Legion which was pretty cool. It was adapted into Exorcist III in 1990 and the changes for the film are well done for the most part. The philosophical angle, however, obviously proved too difficult to translate to the silver screen and remained scrapped. I really like the novel's low-key ending which on film would have been too anti-climactic for the audience who clamored for something bigger, resulting in the over-the-top exorcism.
