only don't read a lot by him in a row, he starts getting so annoying... something has to be inserted in betweenOriginally Posted by BedOfRoses
Thanks, AH! I plan to read more of his books, and I'll definitely look for Lullaby. We own Snuff so might try that one next.You should try some of his other books if you have not. I would suggest Lullaby next.I just finished Fight Club...wow, what an interesting read. I loved the pace of the book and recommend it to all (guys and gals!).

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just finished Odd Thomas (at last) and I could go back to another book I had started before but couldn't finish. It's Senor Kon-Tiki and it's about Thor Heyerdahl's adventurous life.
Roland would have understood.
i'm listening to the Gunslinger... didn't realize i had the first three books on my computer.

I just bought the third book of the Inderitance Serise, Brisigr. Loving it so far!

I just started "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo".
To be honest, I'm having a hard time getting into it.
Anyone else read it?
According to the cover - it's an INTERNATIONAL SENSATION !
Edited to Add : Looks like Bev Vincent read it back in Feb... any comment?
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

I just finished the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Cobin then a quick re-read of Fahrenheit 451 and now in the middle of the last in the series of Dave Robicheaux books by James Lee Burke. Next up is Hart's Hope by Orson Scott Card. After that I need to find a new author.
Insert witty comment here.
I'm finally reading Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I read Dolan's Cadillac last night and enjoyed it. When I was younger I wasn't too keen on reading short stories by King, I tend to like them now though.so far to the collection.
Cool Monte.
I've always been a big fan of the short story collections, and I think that's a really good one.
Yeah, I'm usually a sucker for long, drawn out stories/novels.
Now that I'm older I enjoy the quick reads. I think I will open up 20th Century Ghosts after this one.
i think i love all the short story compilations.. i really liked N&D... i just got a nice new free copy of Everything's Eventual... it can replace the one Keylo decided to used as a dog toy

Just finished Startled by His Furry Shorts by Louise Rennison and am now reading Love is a Many Trousered Thing by the same author.
After this one I plan a reread of Eyes of the Dragon.

finished Heart-Shaped Box by Hill, now reading Fight Club by Palahniuk. Both fell rather short of expectations.

That's too bad. I really liked Heart-Shaped Box. Haven't read Fight Club yet but I really liked Haunted, so it's definitely on my list.

Everybody seemed to like HSBox, and I can't imagine why. I hope to go on with this discussion in Joe Hill thread later. (Palahniuk thread, too)

I liked it a lot. I think the ending could have been better, but overall I did like the story.
Palahniuk just appeals to my gross-out factor. About 2/3 of the way through Haunted, I could not eat while reading the book. And I do not get grossed out easily.

Currently reading The Shining (for the second time).
Brushing up for an essay I want to write comparing and contrasting the book with the Kubrick film.
Duma Key finally! im excited!

just finished listening to the langoliers read by willem defoe. oh my fucking god how fucking annoying can someone get. was dinah or whatever her name was really that simpering, sniveling brat in the short story? and the voice he chose for bethany made me want to tear my hair out.
i really like willem defoe but for gan's sake that was a fucking horrible reading.
listening to the woods by harlan coben now. and just got a nice big package from b&n (ball and the cross, the living dead, tethered) to add to my ever growing list of books to read.
maybe you should make a "what are you listening to, audiobook" thread!
I just finished Eyes of the dragon, then Firestarter. It wasn't bad. I kinda liked it! Now i'm starting Desperation, then the Regulators, then I'll take another shot at finishing Misery, then I am America (and so can you!). Then rose Madder, and maybe try to get my hands o nthe Last Eragon book, cuz like Harry Potter, i'm curious of how it ends.
i keep forgetting there is an audiobook thread. but i count listening to audiobooks as reading. don't you? are you kicking me out of this thread just because i can't concentrate on a book right now razzle dazzle?
okay, i'm off because razzle dazzle says i have to make a new thread. . . .
personally, listening doesn't seem the same as reading, though LT's theory of pets was pretty damn good. But if you think it's the same, it must be so.
I think you might have wanted to read that for clarity before you posted.
