    Excellent! my opinion is stop after you read Chapter House.
    Don't worry I intend too. At this stage I think I'm turning in a sandworm myself Haven't heard any good reports about the books his son Brian and Kevin J Anderson wrote after Franks death so I think I'll give them a skip.
    heh I read all of them just because I was curious. the Brian and KJA books go off the track a bit and Sandworms of Dune has a crapy ending to the whole thing. And of course, I hear Paul of Dune mini is coming out soon.

    This is REALLY weird about the Don Robertson book.

    Spoiler:
    I don't think I've ever read a book about a mass murderer who's done no killing (except for a dog and nazis during wartime) at 200 pages into the book. The book is only 261 pages. Almost as strange...the murderer is elderly. It is an excellent and well written book too.

    it is depressing, but it is still very good, and her sense of humor and power of observation are spectacular. I read it maybe three or four times, glad you're enjoying it!

    Matt, just thumbed through that myself over the weekend. I really enjoyed Everything's Eventual (short story). I forgot how cool Dinky was. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    Its been oh I don't know a day since I opened Blaze,
    and the are only a few pages left.I have so far enjoyed this book.
    Spoiler:
    The police /FBI have Blaze surounded in the field behind HH
    and, like all good King reads I put the book down for a while not wanting it to end just yet.Next I think I'll tuck into an undetermined Anne Rice
    that I got today in the mail ( a gift from John Blaze )There are several titles that I've yet to read its been along time since I've read any AR. I am very much looking forward to the trip down memory lane with my old favs The Mayfair Witches, or maybe a vampire tale.......

    Finished A Winter Haunting by Dan Simmons. Didn't really care for this one. It got a little interesting near the end, but not enough to save the story for me. Actually I wish I just read Summer of Night, and never picked this one up. I didn't care for how he had the characters turn out as adults.

    Now I'm onto The Dark Half, per the suggestion of several people here. So far I'm really enjoying it.
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.

    YAY!

    it's always been one of my favorites, and i hadn't been able to find a copy. She bought it for me at a used bookstore.

    I my wife.

    I'm only about 30 pages in...no real opinion on it so far. It isn't boring me but I'm not excited about it. Yet.
