Ray Bradbury - Dinosaur Tales
I love that book, Frik!
I've yet to finish The Talisman so i can't say if it's a good one or a bad one to be fair. but i love The Tommy Knockers the only downside to that book is that it takes to damn long for shit to happen. it takes forever for Gardner To get to Bobby and once he does the book for me anyways starts to have shit happen. but The Regulators have you read that one before? it's shit utter shit i've read that one i think 2 or 3 times and why so many times? i was given it a 2nd chance and it's a horrible book. now Desperation i loved when i 1st read it and it was a fast read for me. but i than read The Regulators which i read next and though the characters are the same damn near except some characters lived and some died in each book.
that was really the only cool thing about it, well that and the Original Art Cover that connected to The Regulators
Loved The Regulators, did not care for Desperation...

Finally finished The Regulators last night. Probably my least favorite King book. I'm amazed that some people liked it. For me it was slow and boring and I felt disconnect from the characters. Most of the time I was confused as to who was doing what and what was going on. Oh well, at least it's done. Onto the next.
Finished Lovedeath by Dan Simmons. AMAZING collection, I loved all of the stories. Started in on Expiration Date by Tim Powers...
"God punishes us for what we cannot imagine." - Stephen King, Duma Key
I just started The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Short stories never seem to quench my thirst like a novel, but we'll see.
Boo me then, too. Desperation was a let down.

Reading The Procidence Rider
Listening to The Stand, again
I thought Roadwork was fantastic. Definitely felt a strong connection to the character in that one.

I love The Talisman. Perhaps because it was amongst my first King books and because I was young the first time I read it.
On topic, currently reading: Old Man's War, by John Scalzi.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
John Scalzi is adamant about not having read Joe Haldeman's The Forever War before writing Old Man's War. That's a pretty bold claim, considering the title, plot, and characters. Everything really. Still, it's a great story.
Reading now: Reassuring Tales by T.E.D. Klein.
Reading "Way Station" by Clifford D. Simak.
Simak has been one of my favorites for a long, long time. I mourn his passing.

Just finished Connie Willis' DOOMSDAY BOOK, my first re-read in many years. Brilliant. Up next is the new Guy Gavriel Kay, CHILDREN OF EARTH AND SKY.
Anyone have a "end of the world" Book they love? Just about killed the Passage in a few days. Loved it....
