Currently reading The Book of Lost Things, by John Connolly. It comes highly recommended, and so far it's ok.

"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."
yeah, that was the 3rd time I'd read it.Originally Posted by John Blaze
It was my favorite of the series too.You're doing a reread tho, right?
I picked that up awhile ago, but haven't gotten to it yet. Let me know how it is.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
As always with these editions, awesome!

I enjoyed it and would love your thoughts on it once your done
Go read and it let me know what you think, I loved itI picked that up awhile ago, but haven't gotten to it yet. Let me know how it is.
I just started rereading The Shining last night. I figured what better way to get me out of my reading slump than by picking up a great King story. And what better time to read a really good scary book.
I might read it when it when I finish this one Candy.

And you will need a case for it, afterwards...........................

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Finally got a Storm of Swords (steel and snow)
After the Amazon seller telling me it was posted on the 23rd September and it must be Royal Mail with the delay, I get the package this morning, and look at that, there is an invoice dated the 4th October, that little fibbers
Servant of the Shard by R.A. Salvatore. Its like Goodfellas, but with dark elves, cthulhu-esque Mind Flayers, and underworld theif-guilds battling each other for supremacy in the mean desert streets of Calimport.
You had me at "R.A. Salvatore." I really enjoyed the first book of his Dark Elf trilogy, although I still need to read the 2nd and 3rd volumes, despite getting the box set. Too many books, and not enough time. Well, not for someone as slow and easily distracted as i am, anyway.

OK, so I just want to take a minute to say, once again, I guess there's a reason the classics are so classic. I read Les Miserables for the first time ever this week, and I freakin love it. It was such a touching book about the nature of love and how stupid humans can be in their prejudices. Anyways, read it.

Just finished:

:O is that any good, Patrick? It looks kickass.

first time! please share your impressions, it's one of my Top FiveCurrently reading for the first time:
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)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed ROBOPOCALYPSE. It was a fast, easy, engaging read. My only complaint was that it wasn't longer.
I am loving DESPERATION! To me, this is good ol' classic Stephen King. I will finish the book tonight and probably then start THE REGULATORS (also for the first time).first time! please share your impressions, it's one of my Top FiveCurrently reading for the first time:

Aren't they making a Robopacalypse film ? If so, I definitely need to read the book asap. I could definitely use a quick read after the door stoppers that were A Dance with Dragons and Under the Dome.
Also - glad to see you're enjoying Desperation ! Not only is it my favorite King book, it's probably my favorite book of all time
Yeah, it's much faster moving than those other two you mention. It will probably give you a nice breather before heading into War and Peace - or whatever is next on your list.Aren't they making a Robopacalypse film ?

It seems like lately I'm also incapable of reading a book unless it's at least over 700 pages.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
very happy to hear this...
... and this.Not only is it my favorite King book, it's probably my favorite book of all time
Of course, what's the use of them anyway? You install yourself on the sofa with a cup of tea and a doughnut, and whoops - the book has finished, and you have to get up and find another. Total waste of energy.

Substitute the word, "tea," with the words, "coffee" or "beer," and you've got my full agreement.

If so, I'll move on it. I keep forgetting to pick up WWZ also, and that's supposed to hit theaters next year sometime too.
