Alive is this it, do you think?
Yes. The man on the right looks familiar. I saw the movie on television...but I thought it was longer ago than @1993. And they were Uruguayan...not Argentinian. Maybe the plane crashed in Argentina?
1993 is a lot longer "ago" than we sometimes realise, I think...
It was an Uruguayan flight, more info' here on Wiki.
Almost finished The Romanov Cross by Masello where I have learned about the origin of the Iditarod, and its heroes, Togo and Balto, the last days of the Romanovs' and Rasputin, lots of history and spooky stuff!! Great book and there are more of his out there!!
Robin Cook
I am curious, does anyone here read Robin Cook? If so, what do you think of him? I read Coma way back in the 70s and I remember it as being shocking back then because organ harvesting seemed so far-fetched. Anyway, the guy has tons of books and movie adaptations (I've seen a couple of those) and I've never read one other than Coma. I can't remember anyone here talking about him either. Does anyone have an opinion?

I also read Coma and thought it was a good book. I know I've read a couple others, but can't think what they were. I have this impression though, that what I read after Coma didn't match up and I quit reading him.
Currently reading Just After Sunset by SK!
Has anyone read Dracula:The Undead, co-written by Dacre Stoker (Bram's great-grand nephew or something?)? I saw it in a clearance bin (hardcover) for $3 and didn't buy it. Don't know if I missed a good read.
I read it a couple three years ago. An okay story...there are a couple things that happen that stretch my willing suspension of disbelief...an incident in a park where a number of people are moving in and out. Don't recall exact details...but it took me out of the story, as did another incident. But...other than those two...I think it was two...other than those things it was an okay read. I dunno...for $3 seems like a win...better yet if you could get it for less. I'd have to visit Goodreads to see if my "review" says anything worth noting. Maybe check out The Howling? Possibly a campy horror story...but it came out in the late 70s.
It was okay. Nothing great about it. The authors certainly brought alot of sex into it. If I were you, I would find a copy of The Hunger by Whitley Strieber and read that instead. Much better written.
Thanks guys! I don't feel I missed out now. It's too bad it wasn't better since Dacre is a descendant of Bram's. Pretty cool lineage (unless you're riding coattails!).
I finished the extended version of 'The Stand.' 
Happy Dance..now I don't have to lug around that big azz book (Not Complaining)... Next... an listening to

Darn it! - don't keep us in suspense! (Spit it out girl - you can do it!)I finished the extended version of 'The Stand.'
Sorry Guys the tablet froze.. Wolves of the Calla... part way through. Need one to read read though. Maybe I'll finish 'Zen in the Art of Writing' by Ray Bradbury ...Darn it! - don't keep us in suspense! (Spit it out girl - you can do it!)
I really liked Bradbury's Zen.
Long time away from the thread, but happy to be back. No time for reading when you're nursing your other half back from open heart surgery! At 6 weeks post-op, life is slowly returning to normal, and I just finished my first book since surgery day. A friend gave me "Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker" by Jennifer Chiaverini to read several months ago. I wish I could just learn to say no when friends say "Oh, I have this great book you need to read...", but I'm always afraid I might miss out on something good, so I go ahead and take it, and then I feel obligated to finish it before I return it. Not that there was anything wrong with the story. It's just that I have so many books of my own choosing in my "TBR" pile! This was a pretty quick read, though, when I finally had the time to get back into some intermittent reading, and I usually enjoy historical fiction. I always knew Mary Lincoln as a tragic figure in history, but never knew the story of her dressmaker, which was equally tragic. It seems to me that loyalty should always be rewarded, but hers certainly wasn't. If one could find a copy of her book, "Behind the Scenes", it might be an interesting follow-up read. Not sure what to pick up next, but I hope I'm back here sooner rather than later!
I remember an earlier film also. I think it was this one.
Survive! (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I bought that when it came out, not a bad story.
Oh, skootie, been where you are. ((((skootie))))
