Looks like a nice set, Pablo.
Currently reading for the first time: NEEDFUL THINGS, by Stephen King
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
I've finally succumbed to peer pressure.
"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."
Way to go, G!

Would I be evil if I said I have no desire whatsoever to read Game of Thrones?
Ditto Pablo.

Not necessarily, for some people high-fantasy just isn't their bag.
In it's defense, it places emphasis on the characters instead of the standard HF tropes we've all come to expect from the genre. Not to say it doesn't have them, but the characters are always at the forefront.
Ditto Pablo and Matt. I never could get on the hard fantasy bandwagon.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Cloud Atlas. But I'm just not seeing how they can make it into a movie.
I'm really looking forward to that too.

Needful things is one of the first King books I've owned and the only one I own that I have not read yet. Wait, scratch that, I haven't read From a Buick 8, neither have screamed at me to read them.

I know - with Tom Hanks or somebody. But I'm just not seeing how they can do it. They may have done it - and I might see the film, but the book just doesn't seem to lend itself to an adaption. I'm only about 2/3 through so maybe something will happen at the end to change that for me.
