    Ghost Story is much more than mindless entertainment.

    I will put that on my list, Brice.

    I will warn there are some slow parts in it, but it's well worth reading.

    I'll keep Ghost Story in mind, as well as Houses Without Doors. I've been hearing a lot about the former, but the latter might be good as an introduction to his writing.

    I've always considered Insomnia a Dark Tower book, but without Roland's ka-tet.

    Good call!
    Floating Dragon is a good one, and Shadowlands is one I reread every so often. Straub's early work is much more appealing to me than his most recent stuff.
    Give one or all a try!

    Don't forget it's actually the prequel to The Lord of the Rings. That trilogy (or all four books, if you count The Hobbit) is one of the true classics of literature.

    Erm.... Yes and no.

    The Hobbit was written before The Lord of the Rings, so technically it's not a prequel, more of a "prelude." A prequel indicates that the story set earlier was written later.

    However, The Hobbit was revised (especially in Chapter 5) after The Lord of the Rings was written, so at least in that case, I suppose it effectively became a prequel (of sorts), and that's the only version you can find nowadays....

    Good point J&Y. Additionally, it wasn't intended to be a prelude to anything. Tolkien wrote LotR because of the response to The Hobbit. There was a call for "more stories about Hobbits" and from that, he developed LotR. Ultimately, that's what I love about The Hobbit. It is a great piece of the whole Tolkien story cycle, but it also works perfectly as a stand-alone story. I fell in love with that book when I was a kid, and re-read it annually [usually in September around Bilbo's birthday]

    Yeah, it's amazing.... He didn't plan on publishing The Hobbit, much less writing The Lord of the Rings, but that's what he's most known for....

    What was the series about?

    I'm in the middle of Attonement, by Ian McEwan. Good!

    Atonement is wonderful. The movie, not so much. The book, oh my.
    I want to reread it soon and it has not been long since I read it.

    Right now I am reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. For the first time, kinda embarassing. It is one of those I keep forgetting to pick up.
    But, it is good
