I put "Mostly Harmless" on hold to read "Dr. Sleep". As a big fan of "the Shining" I am enjoying this book very much!!! Love the tie-ins and references not to mention the sort of, similarities/ironies between the two books.

Finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, and Joyland by SK. I enjoyed Joyland more than I expected!
Now about halfway through The Terror by Dan Simmons.
The last story in that collection is online:

This is my third read through but this man was so incredibly complex that I sometimes refuse to believe that one man alone could have lived that life.
They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they did.

post in Simmons thread when you've finished! I am totally crazy about this book, and would love to talk about it again and again.
currently reading: Doctor Sleep (at last)

And then I think its time for a re-read of IT

As did I, just now. I really, really enjoyed this book!!!! Back to "Mostly Harmless".

Hope you voted for it in the Top 100 poll up now.
I'm rereading The Catcher in the Rye because everyone says how great it is and I'm trying very hard to like it, but... I can't.

Yes love, and I never could, either; we've already discussed it here, remember? If you have something to add after the reread (whether or not your opinion changes), just post there.

Just started Doctor Sleep...and its fantastic so far!
I vaguely remember, I'll have to go back and find what I said so I don't repeat myself. But right now, this book is bringing me down so hard it's insane. It's sooooo depressing. He hates everything, and is obviously some sort of mentally ill (even if it's just being a teenager, which I fully believe can be a form of mental illness brought on by hormonal changes). But I tried twice, which is more than I give a lot of books, so at least when people disagree with me I'll have full conviction in my opinion. Sometimes when that happens I think, "wow, I must not have read it right, I'm such an idiot." But this... I'm pretty sure on this.Yes love, and I never could, either; we've already discussed it here, remember?

Another book we agree on completely....
Is Doctor Sleep worth it? I haven't liked a lot of King's most recent work, but I'm curious. If enough people tell me it's decent I'll start rereading The Shining in preparation.

Sarah, frankly, I didn't like anything about it. But if it is one of the rare books we disagree about, I'll be only happy for both you and Sai King...
