Fiftey Shades of Grey - it was time for a little smut

is that the book that supposedly started as Twilight fanfic? I've been hearing a lot about it.

I have no idea... I don't think so, there isn't anything Twilight about it. Light BDSM

All my friends keep asking if I've read this. It's driving me nuts. So, is it worth picking up? I usually like my smut with a touch of the supernatural!

So have you read the Anita Blake series? Or Meridith Gentry series...Both are by Laurell K. Hamilton...when i first started reading them i was like wow...

[Brice]

Actually it is a miracle I remember my name....and on one memorable occasion I literally did not. My memory is legendarily bad. The exception being books.

I find it difficult to focus on just one book at a time. I need distractions.

Blimey, I've never forgotten my own name!

In reply to your second point; I'm the exact opposite. I lose myself in one story at a time and live that story until the end. The best authors are the ones where you never want the story to end.

Oh, I lose myself too, but I'm the sort that needs a radio or tv blaring, people shouting, dogs barking, traffic noises.

And that is accounted for by inhuman amounts of intoxicating substances. Imagine a cop asking for your name and you having to pull out your id to tell him cause you don't know. This is where I was at.

So happy you are on the rebound and good to go!!! You're a good man, Mr. Brice!!!

I officially hate everyone who has read, is reading, or is about to read WTtK in the next future

[Brice]

This time I will have to accept bear's hate.

Thank you, Bill!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Man, I'm glad I finished it yesterday. So since I am neither reading nor intending to read it in the near future, we're good right?

Brice, I salute you.

I have been quite plastered as the English would say, but I have never forgotten my own name, obviously I am doing it wrong!

And no, I need quiet when I read. The information would just not sink in else!

I read the first Anita Blake but stopped. I'm more of a J.R. Ward girl.

[John Blaze]

Has anyone read the Kim Harrison The Hollows series? Rachel Morgan? I hear it and Anita Blake are very similar, and I'm not sure which ones to read.

I really like The Hollows series after the first book - it just seemed a bit hard to get into at first. There is a lot of background you have to read about to figure what's going on.

[frik]

It has been on my shelves for a couple of months, so Dan Simmons' latest is next:

Thanks for the info, Becca. What caught my eye was all the titles being plays on classic Western movie titles.

[becca69]

That's what caught my eye too.

Stephen King - Duma Key
Bentley Little - The Mailman
Tim Curran - Graveworm

trying to work my way through wind through the key hole

[fernandito]

I'm loving Wind Through the Keyhole.

[John Blaze]

I liked it well enough. I read that and Abe Lincoln Vamp Hunter this week, I liked them both. Nothing very substantial, though.

I'm reading The Joy Luck Club, just because I never have read the whole thing. I'm gonna pick up the Rachel Morgan series here soon.

[candy]

I'm loving Wind Through the Keyhole.

I'm struggling to be honest, I am enjoying the story within the story within the story? If thats the right amount?

I will finish it then go to the thread

I feel the same way. I'm almost done with it...but I started the day it came out. I should have been able to read it in one sitting. But I just didn't love first story,

Spoiler:

with the skinwalker.

I'll have to finish and discuss it fully in the thread, as you mentioned.

[Ricky]

Yeah,

Spoiler:

the Skinwalker thing didn't really do it for me. I feel like the concept was awesome, but was kind of wasted and used as a plot point in order to get to the actual Wind Through the Keyhole story.

I ordered Catching Fire from B&N and am waiting for it to get here.

[John Blaze]

I loved the Tim Stoutheart story, the rest was just filler, to me. Maybe sai King should read Tales of Dunk and Egg and get an idea, it's kind of what he was trying to do, I think.

[fernandito]

I just got to the Tim Southeart portion last night, only about one or two pages in.

I'm loving Roland's story so far, to be honest. Perhaps I'm being a bit biased, but I'm fascinated with anything Roland pre-Gunslinger. It's great being able to read his thought processes and his doubts through his own perspective, knowing the man he'll eventually become. Lurve it.

I'll give my full assessment once I'm finished. Do we have a thread dedicated to WTTK discussion?

[Ricky]

We do. I think it's called "General TWTTK Discussion" or something like that. It's in The Oracle (I think?)

EDIT: Nope, not the Oracle. Here it is:
