What are you currently reading?

[Daghain]

No. I think locking you in a room with no limes until you read the entire Stephen King collection will be sufficient punishment. I'll go get Zone to guard the door.

[iscream22]

Dark Tower 7 and The Essential Noam Chomsky

[fernandito]

No. I think locking you in a room with no limes until you read the entire Stephen King collection will be sufficient punishment. I'll go get Zone to guard the door.

No! Anything BUT THE LIMES!

The only two from that list that I'm really itching to read are IT and The Stand...the rest I'm sure I'll read eventually.

[Erin]

aww man. After reading this thread, i'm dying to do my bajillionth re-read of The Stand.

[jayson]

aww man. After reading this thread, i'm dying to do my bajillionth re-read of The Stand.

I just finished my most recent re-read last week. I swear that book gets better each time I read it.

[Erin]

It does! It's such an amazing book. I think i'll pick it up again after I finish A Game of Thrones. Although, it's shaping up to be such a good book, I may have to go straight into the 2nd book of the series. :orely:

So many good books to read, so little time. :lol:

[jayson]

You're reading the series too?! *props*

How far along are you?

[Erin]

Hehe, there's a benefit. :D

So Jayson, what books do you have lined up to read to baby Ella? I hope you have Goodnight Moon, that was one of my favorites as a little kid. I have really fond memories of my dad reading it to me.

Not far at all, I'm to the part where Jon has his conversation with the dwarf at the big celebration. But I love Martin's writing style and all the different characters and locations are starting to begin to tie together through backstory. I'm really enjoying it so far.

My parents actually bought us a ton of children's books to read to and with her, and yes, I was very happy to see that Goodnight Moon was among them as was Caps for Sale which is one of my fav books ever.

[Erin]

I remember that one! Awesome. :) You're going to be such a cool dad. :rock:

[jayson]

Thanks Erin! :) If I'm half as good as my own dad was/is, she'll be a lucky kid.

[Darkthoughts]

Where The Wild Things Are was always my favourite.

[Girlystevedave]

So...what's on the list?


The Stand
IT
Salem's Lot
Black House
Pet Semetary
Carrie
Firestarter
The Green Mile
Cujo
The Tommyknockers
Bag of Bones
Misery
Dolores Claiborne (only got 150 pages in, couldn't finish it)
Storm of The Century

I know there are more, but these are the only ones that I can remember of the top of my head.

Shall we let the lynching begin?


I haven't read most of those either. :unsure:

Okay, this is my logic though. And I'm being completely serious. Let's face it, SK is not getting any younger. Who knows how many more books he will write in his lifetime. The way I look at it, I've still got plenty of unread books stockpiled that I get to enjoy later on.

:P :P :P

[Girlystevedave]

I've put off reading a lot of those books because I've seen the movies and remember them clearly. Given, the stories are always much better, but I have to completely forget a story in order to read the book. Otherwise, it will be ruined for me. That's why I'm just now reading The Stand.

I just finished reading The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger for the first time. Now I just need to get to Barnes & Noble to pick up The Drawing of Three.

Honestly, I thought it was hard to get through, but I think I heard King say that it starts to pick up during The Drawing of Three.

Thoughts? Opinions?

[Unfound One]

Yes, it will start to pick up. And GO TO BARNES & NOBLE IMMEDIATELY!

If you read it I'd be really curious as to what you thought of it.

I know everyone on the site will probably disagree with me, but I disliked that one more than The Gunslinger, and I had quite a hard time getting thru that one. I don't think it got interesting till The Wastelands.

I think I'm going to listen to Wolves of Calla soon and finish up my dark tower read.

[Ricky]

I plan on reading the whole series. HOPEFULLY, I'll get the next one this weekend. Currently, I'm not sure of how I like it so far.

[fernandito]

The Drawing of The Three is going to reel you in, believe me.

[Unfound One]

I sure hope it does because I really want to like this series. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go on Saturday so you might have to drive me, Unfound One. :)

I absolutely would if you were anywhere near me. DT is totally worth the gas involved. :rolleyes:
And you can call me SJ if you like.

[John Blaze]

The Drawing of The Three is going to reel you in, believe me.

Ditto that. When I started the Gunslinger, I had read every other SK book there was, so the Gunslinger was a huge change in style for me, which obviously it should have been, being one of his first books. However, when I got to The Drawing of the Three, it got much much better. That one is Classic King, my favorite!

Actually, I got hooked right from the first volume (once I got past the flashbacks-within-flashbacks, that is, especially in the first chapter). I don't know which edition you read, but I read the revised and expanded edition....

But I can definitely vouch for the second volume being better--easily. :D

[John Blaze]

:lol: hey, whatever tickles your pickle, buddy.

I'm thinking about buying it just to have a complete collection, but I don't think i'll ever read it. IMO it's not cannon.

:lol: hey, whatever tickles your pickle, buddy.

[MonteGss]

Ok...moving on (for there is an appropriate thread for the above discussion in The Baronies)...

For the first time in many, many years...I am reading two books at once. I've put down Hunchback of Notre Dame for the moment to read "easier" fiction in the form of Little Women.

For audiobooks, I am going to be starting IT tomorrow. :)

[Girlystevedave]

I sure hope it does because I really want to like this series.


I felt the same after my first read of The Gunslinger. After reading so much SK, and loving it, I had such excitement/fear about reading The DT books. But as everyone already said: GO GET DRAWING OF THREE ASAP!! It doesn't have the same "feel" as Gunslinger, and you will love it.
And hopefully, after finishing the series, you will have a new appreciation for Gunslinger...(at least I did)

[sarah]

Another series I love that is more late tweens early teens oriented like Harry Potter is, is The Dark is Rising Sequence. Wonderful, wonderful books, I grew up reading them along with the Narnia series, and I still love them.

Have you read: His Dark Materials?


No. Have you read The Dark Is Rising Sequence?

no, i haven't but I'll look into it.

off to the library tomorrow so I'll keep you posted.

[John Blaze]

sure.

is canon spelled with one n? my bad, I hear it alot but don't see it in print.

besides, I'm right and you are wrong. :P

I like that option a lot better.

[Daghain]

Drawing of the Three = awesome! That's the one that sucked me into the entire series - I think you really get to know Roland's personality in that one.

That will always be my favorite.

And yeah, revised - NO. :lol:

Thanks for your opinions everyone. I really appreciate it, as it gives me hope for what lies ahead! With all the positive comments, it looks like I'll have to find some way to get to the bookstore tomorrow. :)

Thanks again guys!

You're welcome.

This past week I've read one of the greatest novels I've ever read. It was The Thorn Birds and it covered the lives and loves of the Cleary family over almost sixty years. It's mostly set in the Austrailian Outback, so of course I had to tell Josh about it lol. It's very Sidney Sheldon (ish) in the way it chronicles a family through multiple generations.

Regarding the readings of the children's books--I tutor reading for first graders at one of the urban schools in Cleveland. I get to read LOTS of kids' books, under the guise of helping the kids! I've just discovered Strega Nona--that's a great read!

John

[Patrick]

John, I've got kids in that age range, what the heck is Strega Nona?



Just finished THE GINGERBREAD GIRL by Stephen King.

[jhanic]

It's a kid's book about a magic pasta pot. Everyone of the kids really liked it. It's written and illustrated by Tomie De Paola. It won the Caldecott Honor Award for the illustrations when it was published in 1979.

John

[Míchéal]

I'm reading 'Once...' by James Herbert....freaky shit

[jayson]

I had not heard of that book John. I will have to look for a copy. Thanks!

[ladysai]

I finally finished "Small Gods", by Terry Pratchett (excellent humor!), and "Consider Phlebas", by Iain M Banks (unique sci-fi).
:)

[Míchéal]

Ladysai what's Consider Phlebas about as I read a Banks book a few years ago and I've been looking for it ever since and that name is familiar, could be it?

[ladysai]

It's basically about a shapechanger who is caught in the middle of an intergalatic war.

[Míchéal]

Does it start off on a pirate spaceship? And is there a cool card game tournament too?

[ladysai]

That's the one. :)

[Míchéal]

woohoo, thanks for the info, i gotta read it again.

[ladysai]

No problem.:)
If you liked "Consider Phlebas", you'd also like "Player of Games",by Banks. It's a good one, too.

Notwithstanding the fact that he plagiarized huge swaths of that novel from "The African" I still think Roots-and even Queen-is a great book. Alex Haley, IMO, was one of the best journalists in his day. I don't know how familiar you are with his Playboy interviews, but you should try to find them if you haven't already read them. The one with George Lincoln Rockwell, and with Sammy Davis Jr., will blow your mind.

Yep! AND contribute to the discussion as well! :D


This is awesome... :harrier: I understand most of what you feel. The reason I say most is because I believe we all feel our own way about it.

I think so too--otherwise why are there threads with polls? ;)


J and Y:

Welcome to the club. :)

Say thankya! Proud to be a member! :D

[Patrick]

Congrats, J&Y!


Currently reading Koontz's fourth and most recent Odd Thomas book, ODD HOURS.

[John_and_Yoko]

Congrats, J&Y!

Thank you! :D

Gonna take a break from the King for awhile (no more than a week), but when I do go back to him I was thinking of starting with It.

[Unfound One]

J&Y - have you read Insomnia yet?

[John_and_Yoko]

J&Y - have you read Insomnia yet?

I have indeed--and it's my favorite non-Dark Tower book of Stephen King's! :D

Besides The Dark Tower, I have read The Shining, "Night Shift," The Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, The Talisman, "The Little Sisters of Eluria," 'Salem's Lot, Insomnia, Hearts in Atlantis, Black House, and "Everything's Eventual."

[Unfound One]

It's my favorite so far as well, but I have a very limited SK repertoire...
I'm currently about 100 pages from finishing The Talisman. :excited:

How are you finding it? I didn't particularly care for it all that much when I read it, though it did have its moments.

[fernandito]

Reading IT...

That scene where the Uris wife unlocks the door to the bathroom to find her husband dead was intense.

[Heather19]

How far into It are you Feev?

It's that's a good choice J & Y, you'll love it.

[John_and_Yoko]

How far into It are you Feev?

It's that's a good choice J & Y, you'll love it.

I'm sure I will. :)

I think I've already had a bit of a taste of It in The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower, and MAN, talk about lulling you into a false sense of security....

Not to mention that I've seen references to It in Insomnia, which I loved....

Like I said, going to take a bit of a break, but that'll be my next Stephen King book. :)

[fernandito]

How far into It are you Feev?


About 100 or so pages in. :)

[Heather19]

You're getting close to when it flashes back to the kids. Those are my favorite parts of the story.

i'm kinda jealous of you guys getting to read these for the first time. both were such good books and make for fun re-reads.

Yeah, what Jayson said. Reading those books for the first time was such a magical experience.

I'm really enjoying it. All of the concepts are blowing my mind. I'm nearly done with it, but I keep getting interrupted!
I miss Wolf though, I wish he was still around. :(

[The Lady of Shadows]

Right now I'm most of my way through Prince Caspian. The magic hasn't gone away for me.

i am stunned at the hidden depths of you. just stunned. :couple:

Do you two know each other?


not in person. but don't forget i've been lurking here since launch day as a guest so actually, i guess, i know all of you in some ways. why?

[John_and_Yoko]

Just started reading IT. Yeah, I just get impatient sometimes....

Loved that book. I think it was the first one I got truly emotionally involved in.

[The Lady of Shadows]

right here and now!!!!!!!!

i love wolf.


well, i have now decided that i'm going to reread the dark tower from beginning to end again. since my ipod is out being repaired (and will be gone for two to three weeks **sob**), and i'm in one of those depression moods so none of my new books sound interesting, i'm going to cling to an old and treasured friend. so nobody tell me how it ends :)

[Unfound One]

Will this be your first re-read turtlesong?

[The Lady of Shadows]

nope.

i reread each preceeding novel when the next one came out. during the hiatus years i reread the series up to that point. when the final one was published, i reread the entire sequence.

since then i've reread the entire series four times (about once a year).

i'm kind of an addict. :rolleyes:

[Unfound One]

Hey, we're here for ya. :)

[Brice]

I'm reading The Catcher In The Rye and DTV.

[razz]

i finally started Dreamcatcher again. i think the movie finally motivated me to finish it this time.

[Heather19]

I'm not sure how much you read before, but don't expect it to be anything like the film.

[razz]

so far it's the same. the first time i read up to the crash. right now i'm about to where mr. gray is possessing Jonesy, and is going towards the crash to encounter Pete. i think i stopped on Friday just as he was about to reach him.

[The Lady of Shadows]

i'm really going to have to reread dreamcatcher. right after i finished the dark tower.

btw razz, can you tell that i'm stalking you today? :huglove:

[fernandito]

I've noticed that it's hard for me to keep going forward with novels while I have unfinished graphic novels/comics lying around...

I need to look at all those pretty pictures! :drool:

[razz]

sorry, but i have to assume you either hate me for some reason and are plotting my death even as you speak friendly like to me, or...

[razz]

but if it's not that, then i am truly touched that you took the time out of your busy life to stalk me.
:wub:

Oh no Feev! Aren't you reading It? You should be totally engrossed in the book that you don't want to put it down. I hope you're still enjoying it.

[steph]

I finished Fast Food Nation nite before last.

Each and every person should read it. A truly fascinating and informative book.
I was wishing it was not a library copy, so I could hi-lite and make notes.
I may have to buy a copy

Don't worry, I haven't put IT off to the side or anything of the sort :couple:

[blackrose22]

The Songs Of Distant Earth - Arthur C Clarke. Another enjoyable read from the sci fi master. Not his greatest book ever but still great to read.

[Unfound One]

I finished The Talisman yesterday on the plane (absolutely loved it) and resumed my first time read of Black House. I'm finally past the bird's eye view part and I'm starting to get into it...

[Frunobulax]

Re-reading "On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History...." by Nietzsche, reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke as well. The second is a great page turner, already more than 1/4 through this 700+ pager after 3 days of reading for barely and hour each time. After these, it's on to "Mason & Dixon" by Pynchon.

[fernandito]

The Songs Of Distant Earth - Arthur C Clarke. Another enjoyable read from the sci fi master. Not his greatest book ever but still great to read.

Big Clarke fan, Rose?

Have you read A Space Odyssey and it's numerous sequels?

[alinda]

I'm several pages into my new book, Whispers.
Followed by Weed Species, if I can figgure out
how to read it without breaking the binding! :unsure:

The Songs Of Distant Earth - Arthur C Clarke. Another enjoyable read from the sci fi master. Not his greatest book ever but still great to read.

Big Clarke fan, Rose?

Yes I love his work. I've read quite a few of his books over the years and enjoyed them immensely. It's been a while since I read the last book in the Space Odyssey series (3001) and love each of them but thought 2061 was not as good as the other books in that series (2001 still the best of them).
Really loved his Rama books and must give them another go as its been years since I first read them. I've just started reading another one of his books The Light Of Other Days (co-writing with Stephen Baxter) which so far is better then The Songs OF Distant Earth. Also going to read after The Light... , The Trigger (co-writing Michael Kube McDowell) and Time's Eye again co-writing with Stephen Baxter. Got these of my brother who said he has some more Clarke books if I want to borrow them. So I've got plenty to get through in the next couple of weeks.

[Ricky]

Oh God, I feel like an idiot. I'm reading the second DT book now, and for as long as I've been reading it, I just found out that it's called The Drawing of THE Three. :doh:

WOW. Don't feel bad, I do stuff like that all the time. I just finished reading that book for my 4th time. Not in a row of course. It still has not gotten old.

[The Lady of Shadows]

just finished the new john sandford - phantom prey (have i mentioned that lucas davenport rocks??)

got a new book of short stories called voyeurs of death by shaun jeffrey. i forget now who recommended it to me but when i looked it up at horror mall it looked pretty good so i thought what the hell. i absolutely hate it. i've only ever returned two books to b&n before (both on a subject that i refuse to read about) but this one is going back.

and i finished the gunslinger. damn, it just gets better and better doesn't it? on to the drawing of the three.

I really want to start reading the Space Odyssey series - I'm a pretty big fan of the movie(s), but I have trouble reading books based on movies that I already saw because the surprise element is gone.

If you liked 2001 you would probably enjoy the Foundation Series by: Issaac Asimov it's a great tale, no movie (Yet, unfortunately) and its 5 or 6 reasonably sized books long. Keep ya busy for a while. Oldy but a Goody:thumbsup:

Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town. I don't remember the author but so far, so good.

Thin Red Line.

not as good as I thought it would be, and I'm a person who loves war books, specially ww2

[stboling]

I was wondering if anyone here has ever read Ross MacDonald? I have about 6 of his books and am currently re-reading them. I hear a lot about John MacDonald, but no Ross. I just think he's great.

[Jean]

I read him! I like him, rather; and I love his wife, Margaret Millar.

[stboling]

Yay! I'm glad you like him. I knew that he was married to Margaret Millar, but have never read any of her books.

[Jean]

I would advise them, really, she is into psychotic people and misguided sectants... what else could a reader wish for?

[stboling]

That's my only criteria for good readin':clap: I will have to check the library.

[educatedlady]

I just started to read Gunslinger again and I am also reading Touch me I'm Sick.

[MrsSmeej]

I've been on a Stephen re-read binge for a while now. In the past two months I've revisited all of the Dark Tower books, Insomnia, Desperation, The Regulators, The Tommyknockers, The Dark Half, The Stand (uncut), On Writing, 'Salem's Lot, The Talisman, Duma Key, and just finished Black House. Hmmmm... Perhaps I've become a bit obsessive? Maybe I'd better head back to the library and check out something new. They must miss me over there by now.

[Matt]

:lol:

I think a good re read is in order about once a year.

Right now, I am listening to Dean Koontz--Frankenstein, Book Two. Its an okay series.

Everything's Eventual at home.

[jhanic]

I just finished my reread of Insomnia, and plan to reread either Bag of Bones or Duma Key. Or I may reread Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, followed by Deathly Hallows. I'm curious as to the character in Order who was played by that actor that got stabbed to death in the UK last week. I don't remember him. Still trying to decide which I want.

That can be true a lot of the time but not always. Some film adaptations can be very different to the book like King/Bachmans The Running Man. The film was so different from the story in the book. But do try and read the Space Odyssey books as they are marvelous stories in their own right. If not the Odyssey books then I highly recommend the Rama series books Clarke wrote (three of which were written with Gentry Lee) as they are some of Clarke's best stories ever. I think you would really enjoy them.

have any of you guys ever read anything by tim o'brien? i read the things they carried and i can't get it out of my head. there were parts where i was crying so hard i couldn't breath. then parts where i was laughing out loud and suddenly realized i had my hand over my mouth because it was just so wrong to be laughing. . . .

i haven't read anything that haunting in years.

Also, I'm kind of surprised that Pennywise has been seen already at all, though at least he hasn't been explained away yet....

Just wait, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. You're at the point where it's back to the kids right? So things should be picking up now.

Now all this talk of It is really making me what to go back and read it again.

[obscurejude]

I started reading Duma Key last night.

[fernandito]

Just wait, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. You're at the point where it's back to the kids right? So things should be picking up now.


Yeah, school just got out for Hanscom & Co.

[blackrose22]

Just finished The Light Of Other Days by Arthur Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Really enjoyed this one. Not sure what I'll read next.

[razz]

oh, Duma Key is Brilliant! I read it four times...back when we had transport...

sorry, couldn't resist doctor who spinoff.

[William50]

I just finished a collection of short stories by HP Lovecraft. I been doing alot of short storie reading lately and I am feeling the need for a novel. I will either begin Duma Key or maybe Desperation by SK.

[razz]

the day duma key came out, i sat in wallmart for 4 hours reading it before they threw me out.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I just read a bunch of dresden files books and now I am reading missing in action by Peter David

dresden files is a book series?

[LadyHitchhiker]

They're by Jim Butcher...

Still reading Insomnia and-after a bit of a break-World War Z.

[John_and_Yoko]

Just finished the First Interlude of IT--I start the 1958 segment next, and hope I find it as good as others have indicated.

[Jean]

have just started The Children of Men by P.D.James, which I unexpectedly found at Alexander's

[fernandito]

Taking a break from IT to start A Clash of Kings.

[razz]

just finished Dreamcatcher. What should I read next?

[jayson]

just finished Dreamcatcher. What should I read next?

Have you read The Talisman and Black House yet? If not, you should.

[razz]

i couldn't read black house when i tried. I have no copy of Talisman, neither does the Library.

and that neither is pronounced Nyther, not neether.

[jayson]

i'd suggest giving Black House another go. it may take a bit to unfold, but once it does, it's an exceptionally good book. i think once the story really gets going it feels a lot more like King and a lot less like Straub [which is one of the things i think makes the beginning seem slow]. you could always order The Talisman online. i love that book.

I agree. I didn't care for The Talisman when I read it, and so I was disappointed in Black House for about the first half, but the second half MORE than made up for it, and now Black House is second only to Insomnia on my list of favorite non-Dark Tower books by Stephen King.

[Shamey]

I'm struggling to get into Star Wars X-Wing: Rogue Squadron. I think it might just be taking a while for the author to get to the point and my ADD isn't having it.

[John_and_Yoko]

Just finished Chapter 4 of IT, and WOW, that was a speedy read....

I'm actually disappointed that I have to turn in soon, because I want to keep reading....

Anyway, should be able to pick up the pace from here on in, eh? :)

[what]

Halfway through the long walk... and starting Swine Not? by Jimmy Buffett!

[alinda]

My new book (thanks Turtlesong) Ghost Story
written by Peter Straub, intro by Stephen King. :D

[jhanic]

What's World War Z? I've never heard of it.

John

[Brice]

That's an excellent story, Linda.

[fernandito]

Got about 50-60 pgs into Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets yesterday. :dance:

[mia/susannah]

I just finished my rereread of Christine last night. I am now starting my rereread of Salem's Lot. I hope I get the books that were given to me from the big give soon. I am so looking forward to these books. Thanks everyone

[blackrose22]

Icehenge - Kim Stanley Robinson. Not as good as his epic Mars trilogy but still a riveting read anyway.

[fernandito]

I usually read no more than 2 books (tops!) at a time, but those covers are just so damn shiny and tempting! :lol: So right now I'm spreading my time over IT, the 2nd Harry Potter book, and A Clash of Kings.

[razz]

i decided to Read "Down the Road" again, now I'm working on City of the Dead. Down the road is short. I read it during the school day. but it's definitely worth a read.

[Shamey]

What's World War Z? I've never heard of it.

John

World War Z is excellent. It's an oral history of life after the war against the zombies. Mostly from a military point of view.

I think there's been a couple other members here that have mentioned this book, and from what I remember they said it was pretty good. Is this a stand alone novel, or is it part of a series?

It definately does pick up pace. That's when I really got into the story, and from then on I didn't want to put it down. I think that's one of the fastest books I've read because I was just so into it.



Halfway through the long walk... and starting Swine Not? by Jimmy Buffett!

I love The Long Walk. It's second only to IT.

[Girlystevedave]

Is The Long Walk that good? I've still yet to read it.

[Heather19]

It is, I would definately recommend checking it out.

[Girlystevedave]

Perhaps when I come out of my reading funk, I will. I already own it, just not sure why I haven't read it yet. Hell, I just read Rage for the first time this year.

[Heather19]

I still have yet to read that one? How was it?

I'd read it again if that means anything.

prob my fav of the Bachman stories.
