bears themselves are shocked! To shock us both deeper, they haven't read The Tale of Two Cities, either. Or Hard Times.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go! Read NOW! I'm pretty sure I finished all of Dicken's stories back in elementary school. There are some I like more or less, but none I don't love.Thank you! I will!

I've decided not to die until I finish EVERY book.
I have only read a few by each author so I'm not authority on them but I'll say this: Hide Me among the Graves took me 3 months to read. It's a loose sequel to Stress of her Regard but I found that out afterwards and I don't think I missed anything. Powers has that ability to transport you right where the story is if you go slow at it and don't skim. Each sentence has an image in it. I'm not good with words so I can't describe it well. It's a vampire book (more or less, don't let that scare you) set in Victorian England (don't let that scare you either) but it reads like someone from that era wrote it, not someone who researched that era and then wrote about it. Or at least someone who time-travelled there. It's very convincing.Thank you! I will!

I think you've described it perfectly. At least bears really really want to read it NOW.
I want to be able to sleep with only half a brain, like a dolphin, then I can read nonstop. Why aren't bears made this way?..

Me too. :sigh:
(Can't really add anything meaningful to the topic of discussion - have been reading only the January issue of Forbes Russia for the entire week, and still have not finished it. No time at all!)
If you are going through hell - keep going
understandable...

Three stories in. I loved the introduction by one of King's (and my own) influences, John D. MacDonald. I also enjoyed King's forward as well.
Did someone call me?
Stebbins, if this is your first time reading Night Shift, you're in for a treat. No-nonsense no-excuses horror stories. True classics of the genre.
Lol, I didn't even know where that picture was from till right now.
It is my first time reading NS, I'm looking forward to the rest of it
World War Z
The Horror Hall of Fame: The Stoker Winners
Nice.
Just finished reading Gillian Flynn's 2nd book Dark Places! Very good murder mystery!
Update: Just finished "The Boogeyman" story in Night Shift. This story contains a therapist named Dr. Harper; my favorite story I have written thus far is about a therapist named Dr. Harper!! That shit bugged me out, I just had to share it.
Ok...a few things.....
1/3 of the way into Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys....and I had to stop. Just couldn't get into it.
Started a new one by David Levithan titled EVERY DAY. Interesting so far. A bit juvenile, but definitely a compelling premise.
Anyone ever read Stephanie Meyer's THE HOST??? Didn't much care for twilight crap...but this book is a stand-alone, adult, awesome book, IMO.

reality continues to ruin my life
Glad to see someone else didn't like Anansi Boys. Have you read anything else by Gaiman? And, out of curiosity, what was your main problem with the book?
