It's about a group of famous dead people who create a club (the Associated Shades) in a house-boat floating on the River Styx (from Greek Mythology). And throughout most of the book, it's just a random collection of dead people insulting each other...kind of like a sitcom. But it's pretty cool, and I'm actually looking forward to reading the sequel. Now, our library doesn't have this book (it was written in 1895), but here's the link to the Project Gutenberg version: A House-Boat on the Styx.

There's also a disney movie, but it's retarded and nothing like the book at all... not like most movies are, but it was way off, ha, at least they got some characters correct...

Dude, Crichton kick ass! Loved Prey, and Jurassic Park, and Sphere, and The Andromida Strain, and Timeline!

I read a Chapter.. the first few pages were cool, then it got into rambling chats.
