    For me it is just The Stand. The only version that is in my local bookstore is a hardcover for like 30 bucks so I cant buy it. (I am too young for a job, so I cant go spending that much on a book. I also can't find it at the library. And I have a friend who owns it but wont let me read it and then return it. I think that is because he knows how much I want it and he thinks I will keep it.

    I'd like to read The Probability Broach, and the rest of that series. I could order it online, but I'd much rather just check it out at the library... unfortunately none of the libraries around here have it.
    Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.

    There is no such book, Jean. Don't believe the wicked lies. The story is meant to be read as you read it.


    Spoiler:
    I think I have a copy you can have. Let's see if the mail experiment works first though.

    I've never read
    children of the corn
    or
    the shining.
    I know, shocking, but I plan on rectifying it eventually.

    I have all the books I really want to read... but I can't find or afford pretty much all of the comics I want.

    My list is pretty long.
    Just glancing at my bookshelf I've got:
    The House Next Door
    The Exorcist
    Rebecca
    Snuff

    and for King stuff:
    The Dead Zone
    Misery
    Dolores Claiborn
    Danse Macabre
    Rage, and Roadwork
    Apt Pupil

    I've also got many others but these would be the ones on the top of my list. I just have to find the time to read them. I also tend to go crazy buying books when I already have so many to read, that they just keep piling up.

    Some other ones that I want to read, but have yet to get would be:
    The Terror by Dan Simmons
    The Twilight series
    Invsible Monsters, Choke, Stranger than Fiction by Chuck P.
    Water for Elephants
    I Am Legend
    The Road

    I could just keep going on and on.
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.

    Alex, I'm reading the Bachman Books right now. I fucking love them. Rage was awesome and I'm half way through The Long Walk which is absolutely terrifying. I'm surprised that I'm enjoying them so much, both are phenomenal and will rank among King's best for me.

    I didn't care for Skeleton Crew. Why not take a break and read something phenomenal? Its like you're settling for skittles when a steak dinner just came in off the grill.
