I would personally recommend reading them. I went for ages stubbornly refusing to read them because every man and his dog seemed to be doing so, but after I folded like the weak willed sap that I am, I was hooked after reading the first 10 pages or so They get alot better as they as they go on
BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
alright so i'm finally getting around to Lisey's Story. For some reason i'm having a really hard time staying focused when reading this book. Is it worth it for me to push on through?
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

Maerlyn - just to echo SJ, do persevere with Lisey's Story - I thought it was fanatastic, reminiscent of The Talisman...you might see what I mean as you get further into it.
I'm currently reading Everything's Eventual. I read Little Sisters of Eluria first, then I started from the beginning and have so far read Autopsy Room Four and The Man in the Black Suit.
Blaze (of course) and am really liking it.
I finished CHOKE by Chuck Palahniuk. I liked it but I liked SURVIVOR better - until I read the "story behind the story" at the end of CHOKE, that was really touching.
Now reading McSWEENY'S MAMMOTH TREASURY OF THRILLING TALES, edited by Michael Chabon. Great short stories.

I went a little nuts in the bookstore tonight. I bought Blaze, Heart-Shaped Box and a collection of stories by HP Lovecraft (never read him). I figured I would ship Blaze to Will as a surprise, so I am trying to plow through really quickly before 5pm tomorrow when it goes in the box...so I really should be reading and not on this here damn internet!
It's peanut butter jelly time!
I was going to buy heart shaped box today, but didn't in favour of actually buying a father's day gift with my money Let me know if you'd recommend it though!
I've only heard good things about Heart Shaped Box.
Thanks FP - me too...although I can't remember where or from who Neil Gaiman wrote the intro though, so its gotta be pretty hot.
Ok so I started Blaze last night. I'm about 120 pages into it. I'm supposed to be shipping it to my husband 3000 miles away in about 2 hours. No way I can finish it. So should I send him the Heart-Shaped Box instead and just keep bLAZE FOR myself until I finish it? Which is better? I'm pretty invested in Blaze right now, but I know if I ship HSB, I'll never read it. Crap, crap.
It's peanut butter jelly time!
Apparently I'm really not supposed to read Harry Potter. Last night I decided to finally break down and read the first book outloud to Drew. He was excited (although he informed me that it wouldn't be AS exciting because he had already seen the movies), but regardless, we were going to start on this literary journey together. I had the bags packed and ready to go. I go to the bookshelf to grab it, and IT'S GONE! DISAPPEARED! VANISHED! I checked Drew's room, wasn't there, checked my room and a box of books that we've already packed up....GONE GONE GONE.
I wonder if it's a sign...LOL
It's peanut butter jelly time!
I finally got to finish Gates of Fire (Thanks JB!) and am pondering whether to read Fever's Dream or give in and starting the HP series; and if hipocrosy has anything to say about it it will most likely be the latter
I finished McSWEENEY'S MAMMOTH TREASURY OF THRILLING TALES. There are some excellent stories in that book.
I've now started DREAMCATCHER - another on the long list of King books that I have not yet read.

I am currently reading the Dark Tower (well re-reading and I got about 200 pages to go). But after, the next Dune book (Sandworms of Dune, by Brian Herbert), then the final Harry Potter book, and then the latest Tolkien (Children of Huron).

The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Patrick, although a lot of people don't like it, I loved Dreamcatcher, I even named two of my cats after characters from it.
I'm currently reading Lisey's Story. I hate to say it, but I'm having a really hard time getting into it. It just hasn't grabbed me yet like most all of King's other books do. I'm going to finish it, but I hate to say it, if it had been any other author besides King, I'd have set it aside by now. For those of you who have read it, does it just have a slow start and get better or am I just nuts?
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
i had a hard time getting fully into it as well Erin
but, in the end i liked it...
i can't say you'd have the same experience but
there are some neat things that develop.
There are other worlds than these.

Thanks Tamez. It is starting to get a bit more interesting now with the threatning call Lisey got from "Zack McCool".
