Thanks for the link, Patrick. I'm going looking for a copy of the book, if I can find it!
For me, I like to read the book first, then listen to the audiobook. I'm the same way with books and movies - I like to read the book first.

yes Patrick, but the author I'm talking about is famous enough on her own, but she chose to produce a couple of books audio only before she goes into print. She has a full audio cast, and will be producing them herself.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I generally listen to one book on audiobook while at work and read one book in print while I am at home.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
same here chris, though like i said, the audiobooks are re-reads.Originally Posted by OchrisO
Just started 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
Finished 1984 by Orwell. Interesting read. Quite different than I expected, and I enjoyed it. The main character was pretty fascinating. As for being prophetic, Orwell was hit and miss. Overall, I enjoyed it.
I'm reading "Serenity Found" Unofficial Essays on Firefly and Serenity.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
I just began reading "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. It's super great so far.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Just finished a reread of Dune and Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. Forgotten how good these books were. Next up is Childern of Dune.
Reread Bag of Bones.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Right now I'm reading Duma Key and I find it to be quite the enjoying experience. It's a little different then some of King's other stuff, but still one of the best books that I have recently had a chance to read.
I just finished Bridge of Sighs, By R. Russo.
A very good book.
I started Wolves of the Calla yesterday
Right now I am reading Duma Key and The Dark Tower 7. When I finish these I am going to start the Dark Tower series again. I love it. I am also going to start Different Seasons.
I am kinda' blown away by how good Duma Key is. I haven't found anything of his that I didn't like, but this is exceptionally good to me. It reads like the best of old King and the best of new King thrown together. I think I love it.
I read the teaser for Duma Key that was at the end of the paperback edition of Blaze. When that sucker comes out in paperback, it's MINE.
And in my reread of The Dark Half, I am realizing that I have NO RECOLLECTION of reading this book the first time. None. Now, I know I did, because as soon as a King book comes out in paperback I read it, but now I wonder why the hell I don't remember this book? I have just enough aha moments to know I DID read it once, but man, it hurts to know I can forget so much in 17 years.
Must be A.G.E. Syndrome.

Daghain, tell me you're not one of those folk that never buy a hard-cover copy of a book? You have some moral (read anal) problem with it? I love The Dark Half, that is one scary motherfucking book.

allhail, I hardly ever buy a hardcover copy of a king book, at leas not new, mostly because they're so fucken expensive.

Thats cause you're a skin-flint motherfucker!

There are other worlds than these.

Nope, I'm just OCD.Daghain, tell me you're not one of those folk that never buy a hard-cover copy of a book? You have some moral (read anal) problem with it? I love The Dark Half, that is one scary motherfucking book.
I started collecting them in paperback, so now they ALL have to be paperback.
Besides, it's easier to carry a paperback copy around.

Skeleton Crew- (The Jaunt)
The Tommyknockers. I decided to find out if it was really so poor. I can confess, after some of later King writings it is very refreshing. I might have to edit my opinion in King's Worst Novel thread.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still working my way through Insomnia.
