I'm a bit surprised at how much I'm enjoying 'The Hatching'. About 3/4 of the way through, and I can't put it down.

Reading two novels at the same time, which is something I've never done before - about halfway through 'The Woman In Black', which is excellent so far. The atmosphere is amazing, and the characters...

Hey Zelig, I have 'Used & Rare', but haven't read it yet. 'The Man Who Loved Books Too Much' is a fantastic read. Haven't heard of 'The House of 20,000 Books', will check it out.
Lincoln.

Finished "'salems Lot", which was fantastic (of course!)

Been flicking through various collections and anthologies, but nothing really working for me. So, decided to try a couple of classics, that...

You're in for a real treat, peripheral - 'The Beautiful Thing...' is a great collection. Contains one of my all time favourite stories - the incredible "The Men From Porlock".
Lincoln.

Oh yeah, 'The House Next Door' is one of my absolute favourites - definitely top 5, for me. Brought to my attention by SK in 'Danse Macabre', of course!

I tend to do that, when I discover a new-to-me author that I really like.

Just on 'Slade House' again, it reminds me a lot of 'House of Leaves' - not in the crazy structure or anything, but how it...

...Aaaaaaand I couldn't help myself - just ordered the slipcased UK signed/limited of 'The Bone Clocks'.

I've read The Bone Clocks by Mitchell and liked it a lot. I'm excited to read more. I bought signed copies of both Slade House and The Bone Clocks when Barnes & Noble had their signed books sales in...

Reading 'Slade House', by David Mitchell. A haunted house story, with a similiar structure to the Charles L Grant linked novella collections. Very well written, very stylish. Wouldn't call it...

Finished 'The Passage', which was fantastic. Would like to jump straight into 'The Twelve', but some shorter fiction in between is in order, I think. So, back to '20th Century Ghosts', by Joe Hill....

About 550 pages into 'The Passage', and absolutely loving it. Feels like I'm approaching the end of the middle act, which I believe has copped some criticism. Could it have been shorter?...possibly,...

Ah, Basbanes and Sanders, two of my favorite bibliophiles. I always get excited when I see Ken Sanders (and Ken Gloss) on Antiques Roadshow. :)

Another great "book about books" is Book Row: An...

Thanks zelig, will put it on the list. 'Used and Rare' is another one I have, but haven't read yet.

Finished the first 'act' of The Passage - what an extraordinary build up, just superb. I know...

Finished 'It', and it is definitely one of my all time favorites. I first read it when I was only a few years older than the kids, and this time I'm a few years older than the grown ups. Definitely...

'Julia' is great, I read it for the first time late last year. Though you probably wouldn't pick it as Straub if you didn't know. Centipede Press is meant to be doing a signed/limited, but haven't...

Still powering through 'It'. Don't have a lot of consistent reading time at the moment, but I'm managing to read big chunks, a few times a week. Funny to come across Stringer Dedham, from Straub's...

Approaching the halfway point of 'It', and absolutely loving it. I'm particularly enjoying the 'Derry Interludes', and it was cool to see Dick Hallorann, of 'The Shining' get a mention.

Finished 'The Totem', by David Morell, and thought it was very, very good. Action packed, which contrasted with the Charles Grant I've been reading lately. Personally, I prefer the slow build of...

Yes mate, I do. Great forum.
I'm picking up a 'reading copy' of 'It', today - very keen to re-read, after 30 odd years.
