"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."

And I agree with everyone about Fevre Dream. One of the best books I've read in a long time. You'll love it JB
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
a friend of mine suggested an early PKD novel to me and it turns out it's one of the funniest novels I've ever read, it's practically like a bleaker Futurama
Love the cover.

Besides re-reading The Waste lands for the 3rd time I'm also giving Odd Thomas a 2nd time around. I wan't to check out the others in the series too if I can ever find the time.
Reading Needful Things by you know very well whom.
Roland would have understood.
I liked Needful Things. It is interesting to watch the evolution of the characters. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the end.

Needful Things is awesome. I didn't even know there was a movie.

I will come back as soon as I finish it.
And it's a surprisingly good one.

Needful Things was indeed good.
Most recent reads for me:-
Horns - Joe hill. - not bad, but not quite as good as Heart Shaped Box ?
Fallen Angels - Niven, Pournelle & Flynn. (a re-read, last read 10+ years ago)
Now reading:-
A Gift From earth - Larry Niven. (again a re-read at 10+ years)
I'm trying to read Duma Key again.
I'm around page 150, but I am having so much trouble getting into it.
Last time I tried, I made it to page 120.
I really want to get through this book, but damn!
help?
don't despair, Cujo, help is coming:
Duma Key is one of the best King books, goddamit!!!
...hope it helped...

Trouble getting into it? I found it to hook you from the first few pages. But that's just me.
I loved both Needful Things and Duma Key. Both are excellent, IMHO.

I had the same problem with Insomnia. It took me 150-200 pages to get into that one, but at some point, I just got hooked and couldn't put the book down.
I got halfway through The Golden Notebook and gave up for that very reason.
Yes, it was very enjoyable - I especially enjoyed seeing Ace Merril againReading Needful Things by you know very well whom.
I couldn't really choose between the two, i thought they were both 10/10
Needful Things is in my top 5 King books ever. I absolutely loved every page of it. I too haven't heard too many positive remarks about it, so I hope that you enjoy the book as much as you did the movie.Reading Needful Things by you know very well whom.
The movie isn't my favorite, but M.V.S. was amazing as M. Gaunt.
