Definitely do so, it's interesting to read them close together (although it can be kinda confusing at first). But you'll be able to pick up on all the connections that way.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Now reading Under The Dome. I'm hooked after the first chapter, but only because I like airplanes.

C.S. Lewis was quite an interesting person. Great read, at least for me
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."

Tak!
I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on, I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone
Candles Burning By Tabitha King & Michael McDowell
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat" -Theodore Roosevelt
How is Tabitha's writing? I haven't read anything by her yet.
Finished The Dark Tower at 6:03AM on December 21, 2009.
The man in black fled across the desert,
and the gunslinger followed.
I'm only up to chapter six but so far it's pretty good.
Kind of reminds me of some of SK's work.

Do you not suppose that she has been qreatly affected
and or influenced by living so long with Sai King?
I imagine it would be really difficult for her work to be
light, or say be a romance writer if you see what I mean...
And on topic now....I am not currently reading a book
I too seem to be experiencing a blockage of some kind.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD

Tabby has always been a writer. She's put out several books.How is Tabitha's writing? I haven't read anything by her yet.
I've been reading Skinny legs and all, by Tom Robbins (which is pretty crazy so far, Robbins is insane), and the Tale of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski. I just finished Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk and Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy (two of the most effed up books I've ever read, but both good). Oh, and I just started reading Shadowland by Peter Straub, never read anything of his besides The Talisman, and he had The Master workin with him on that one.
Oh and Desperation IS so great, one of my favs, too, and the Regulators. King is such a damn genius, mixing those two the way he did.
The last few chapters of The Green Mile. Then, I'm not sure, something else King.
Random PM's are loved!

I agree. It's like the Grimm Fairy tales. You've either heard a version or you've seen the Disney version, but you forget that there is the unabridged original that has more depth.I don't know if this is the case with you or not, I'm just speaking in general, but perhaps it's something to do with a certain mindset about such stories--people get bombarded with references to it (because it's become a part of our modern mythology) so that they feel like they KNOW the story even if they've never actually read it or had it read to them at all.
Certainly it feels that way with Peter Pan--it wasn't until my adulthood that I even bothered to read the book, and then the script of the play....
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I finished Horns last night and am now a way into Straub's A Dark Matter. Quite a difference in writing styles!

Just finished "The Two Towers" and was going to read "Under The Dome" next, but I'm so caught up in Middle Earth just now I've got to nip off to the library for "The Return of the King".
