Books scare me the most and The Dark Half is one of King's scariest.

"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
Misery freaked me right out. I keptSpoiler:

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
yeah, misery was a misery to read.
"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."
Finished Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. Pretty good book, and I just started it's sequel A Winter Haunting.

That book easily makes my top 5. I read once that there was plans for a possible film adaptation, but I'll be damned if I remember where or when I read it.

I have finished my reread of BoB's , and think Liseys story is next

Stephen R. Donaldson's Fatal Revenant
- I'm kinda lost in this one, and not liking it right now, which is a first for a Donaldson book. Hopefully it gets better.

I'm reading Salem's Lot. My sister gave me a very nice hardback illustrated version of it at Christmas, and it's taking me forever to read it because I can't stay off this freaking mb.
I've never tried it.
Did try the first 'Gap' book once (forget name), did'nt like it much.
Absolutely LOVE his Chronicles of Thomas Covenant & re-read them regularly.
Just finished re-read of Raymond E.Feist - Krondor:The Betrayal.
Now re-reading R.E.Feist & Janny Wurts - Daughter of the Empire.
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.
Maybe it was your other personality that read it?
Hmmm. Hadn't thought of that.

The Shakespear Secret- J.L. Carrell. My sister gave me this and said it was as good as The Da Vinci Code, she was sadly mistaken.
I'm reading Stolen by Kelley Armstrong, which is the second in the series. I especially like the sarcasm and humor of the author--a great read!
i'm reading Custer, North and South, Gerald's Game, and Different Seasons. Believe it or not, I haven't read Apt Pupil until now.

That's the only one in Different Seasons that I haven't read as well. Let me know how it is.

Currently re-read TDOTT, nearly finished, gonna re-read 'em 'till possibly book 6 ( i read that and number 7 recently) then start Salem's Lot, is it any good?
2:45 am- 11th February 2008- I Finished The Dark Tower
Salem's Lot is awesome. It's especially fun to read it after a Dark Tower run-through.....for obvious reasons.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Finally finished Duma Key. I need to find more reading time in my everyday life, dammit.
Now reading Wild Cards IV: Aces Abroad.
just started No Country For Old Men yesterday. this is gonna be a quick read bc (a) it reads very easily stylistically, and (b) it's quite good!
Yes, that's a damn good one.
Reading 'Wizards First Rule" by Terry Goodkind.
