Finished Heart-Shaped Box, kudos to Steve's son:0 Gonna give it 3 1/2 stars, fun read without the Sk bad/crazy ending. Seems Joe Hill likes the happy thing and no loose ends, ok with that. Never know who dies in a SK story(part of why I love SK). Only read 1 JH novel so far, so not sure if he has his dad's attitude towards the main peeps in a story.
Now on "Full Dark, No Stars" and "The Collector" - John Folwes
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC

I have yet to read JH, IDK why I'm holding back.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Get on the case JB, I think he's awesome. Heart Shaped Box is an amazing ghost story, and there's always the Locke And Key graphic novels which kick ass
Tell me what you think of that when you've finished, I was recommended it by someone a few months ago, but we were in the pub at the time and it slipped my mind to check it out

I just have way too much shit to read already. I'm starting The Sparrow today, which comes highly recommended by a friend. After that I'm reading World War Z and I'm currently rereading ASOIAF again, so it's a lot on my plate right now.Get on the case JB, I think he's awesome.

I love all those Travis McGee books. At one time, I owned then entire run.

I'm reading 20th Century Ghosts by JH. Picked it up at Hastings for 3 bucks. I'm really enjoying it so far.
People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
I just started reading A Clash of Kings...if it as good as A Game of Thrones, I will be happy.
I have that (20th Century Ghosts), but haven't read it yet! I took a leaf out of your book though Bethany, and introduced my family to ASOIAF - my mum text me from her vacation to say she'd finished A Game Of Thrones in a day! (i thought I was fast...) and added "Thank goodness you gave me the rest of them too!"
I am reading "Secret Window" by Stephen King.
joe hills "gunpowder" is a sweet novella! gonna be a series i think.
Just finished "the five", it was pretty good, even better if you have ever been in a band.
Now im in the middle of cronin's "the passage" very much up my alley, im diggin it!
I discovered the series this summer, thanks to King's On Writing, and have been hooked ever since the Deep Blue Good-by. I thought Nightmare in Pink was a little weaker than the rest but I really enjoy MacDonald's prose.I love all those Travis McGee books. At one time, I owned then entire run.

Also, Pixie is this your first time reading it? I just read that for the first time before I read my last novel and was very surprised at some parts

The Sellswords, Book II: Promise of the Witch-King by R.A. Salvatore. I've decided to do a reread of all his novels leading up to the October release of Neverwinter.

THOMAS JANE AND JASON LEE
Finished rosemary Baby, and now started Let the right one in (in between Game of thrones)
It's much better than the film, Candy. I think you'll enjoy it.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Are you stating this is a negative or a positive? I for one liked the movie except for the ending. I was like, WTF? But the book rocks, and Jason Lee was actually a pretty good Beav.SSDD

Mokona, here is the 1984 thread, in the Book Club - have a look when you've finished reading
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

One of my favorites.
Here's an interesting infographic about Huxley and Orwell, and I think Huxley was right.
