Re-Reading The Shining getting ready for Dr Sleep...
reality continues to ruin my life
Bears and Dive: I've spoken too soon, more than once, on this story. Into January, I believe it is a great one, I like it better than Rage. It's much more textured, and I think it's almost as funny (in a dark way).
Spoiler:
I'm glad you gave it a chance and are enjoying it. I look forward to your thoughts once you've finished it. There might be a thread somewhere dedicated to discussion of Roadwork; I know I've written a few thoughts about why the story affected me so much.
what dive said, except there's no Roadwork thread. I think you posted during the CRA events.
ETA: there is now:

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and this was one of the first ever OAV's i bought
I won't sound like much of a King fan, but I have finally gotten around to reading Joyland. About halfway done, and I am loving it. It's a very nostalgic piece so far.
No worries on when you read it, we all have busy schedules and lives. Also, sometimes the mood just isn't right yet. Glad you like it, it's one of his better novels. I VERY much enjoyed it and plan a reread before the end of the year.
I have the second one at home, I'll likely get around to reading it over the weekend. Love it so far.
One of the best series of 2012. Gotta get my hands on Vol. 2
OK, just finished JOYLAND in four days - good for me. I loved it. One of King's best. I have always felt King works best in a shorter medium. I must confess that I am a sucker for coming-of-age stories. This is right up there with McCammon's Boys Life, Simmons's Summer of Night, King's own The Body, and dare I say, portions of King's IT. All the nostalgia brings memories of all my "firsts" in life. Makes me want to embrace my inner "Greenie" again! Bravo, Mr. King!
this battle's always interested me and it's also used as the basis of one of the tales that I'm writing
999 anthology
And now this one:
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
I am in that weird non-space between books, and remain unconvinced and uncommitted. What am I currently not reading? Everything. Except a couple comic books.
Stebbins, I heartily approve of your Bachman kick.

This has always been one of my all-time favourite books, but I keep forgetting just how brilliant it is. In some ways, I prefer it to Lord of the Rings, and that's partially to do with how the story is told - the narration is absolutely hysterical to read sometimes.
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.
You are a walking talking Doctor Who encyclopedia to me. - Melike
