What are you currently reading?

[jhanic]

A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. It's the first in what is to be a trilogy, recounting his abusive (to put it mildly) childhood. If you want a true horror book, this is the one.

I read this one, too. Some things surprized me about it, though - didn't quite seem to jibe. I knew later that there were some serious doubts about the authenticity of the story, so probably my suspicions weren't totally groundless.

[Ruthful]

That's why I try not to read too many of those memoirs essentially revolving around the author's abusive childhood. Occasionally they're worth reading even when you realize most of the contents is made up, e.g. Running with Scissors.

[razz]

i just began firestarter. is it any good?

[William50]

I read Firestarter. I thought it was an ok book ( but not good enough to read twice).

[Darkthoughts]

Firestarter seems to be one of those love it/hate it ones - personally I loved it :thumbsup:

[Ruthful]

I think Firestarter is great. Rainbird is one of the best villains Stephen King has ever created, in my opinion.

[razz]

thanks. i read it then

[Jean]

Firestarter seems to be one of those love it/hate it ones - personally I loved it :thumbsup:
well, I didn't either love or hate it. I liked it to some extent, but the very thought of re-reading it bores me... maybe in a decade or two I will

[The Lady of Shadows]

i don't think any sai king book should be on the don't read list - except gerald's game. and we all know how i feel about gerald's game. :lol:

there are those on the don't read again list though. but even that changes. i thought the tommyknockers was one of those but i reread it again this summer and fell in love with it. and realized that that poem that has been rolling around in my head for the last 20 years is gard's poem for bobbi. go figure.

[William50]

I thought that the Tommyknockers was a great book. I have read it 4 times in the last 2years.

[obscurejude]

I thought that the Tommyknockers was a great book. I have read it 4 times in the last 2years.

I've never heard that, nor expected to, and particularly from a 14 year old. I'm glad you enjoyed so much William, but you are certainly in the minority.

[Ka-mai]

Gerald's Game made me laugh at first, just at the situation. But it's kind of scary because you know that has to have happened to someone somewhere....

My mom once told me this story of this couple, and the man was dressed as Batman and jumped off the dresser towards the bed, but somehow got caught on the lighting fixture and fell or something... either way, it ended in an embarrassing 911 call. :lol:

I saw the movie of that and I just knew that couldn't be true. "Memoir" or no. It seems like most "memoirs" are total bullshit.

I'm reading American Gods, because you all kept talking about it. :P It's good. I could have sworn Gaiman was gay while I read it, but Matt told me I was wrong. :lol: Guess my literary gaydar is off.

I've re-read it recently, and found it exceptionally good. I don't think I would re-read it every half-year, but I certainly do love it.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne

On the Road is awesome. I'm in the reading of that one.

Dammit, i can't find my copy of Firestarter. so i guess i will re-read Drawing of the Three

[William50]

You lost it?

[William50]

I just bought this book today and it is awsome. I have been reading all day.

no idea where it is :cry:

[Ka-mai]

Eldorado is fantastic.

Ok, so, finished American Gods. Loved it. Morbid little detail I just loved?

At the end when you find out Hinzelmann has been killing kids every year... and then I remembered in the beginning when he asks Shadow to buy the raffle tickets for the klunker on the lake, and it's for a charity, and Shadow says something like "it's a thank you for saving my life" and Hinzelmann goes (in a suddenly serious tone) "No, its for the children".

...

:shock:

:lol: I loved it. Such a tiny detail with such perfect darkness. I freaked when I remembered he said that. Wow. I just can't get over it.

"Ladies Night" by Jack Ketchum

[sarah]

Duma Key on audio is still staring at me with annoyance. I started Chamber of Secrets yesterday.

[fernandito]

I started Chamber of Secrets yesterday.

I'm about 180 pgs. shy of completing A Clash of Kings, so it looks like our schedules will coincide for some PoA fun! :couple:

[Daghain]

Just finished rereading Dolores Claiborne and am reading The Hotel New Hampshire by John Iriving.

[theBeamisHome]

I finished American Gods too..

I liked it, I must say the Gaiman is one of the few authors to actually surprise me with a plot twist.. or just do something i wasn't expecting rather.

[The Lady of Shadows]

went to the bookstore today and couldn't resist the stephen king section (yeah, i know - like there was actually going to be anything there i don't already have :rolleyes:). but i grabbed a copy of the long walk and sat with it with my pretzel and iced tea.

oh my god. i had totally forgotten about the impact of this story. i sat there and cried through the ending. i had forgotten so much of the, fuck, the impact. i had forgotten. . . .

damn. i had just forgotten.

[John_and_Yoko]

STILL reading From a Buick 8, but I fully intend to finish it today. Only have one chapter left to go.

[razz]

i just checked out the Talisman and Insomnia from the library today...and an origami book.

[gsvec]

I have an origami calendar - new sheet every day with instructions on the back.

[razz]

that's what this is. i got it in the library store. it's from 2004 tho, but it works for me.

[razz]

sounds like a fun idea. i'm not the one to start it though

when those kids start helping each other, against all logic, right? when those two sit down and speak God-knows-what language, perfectly understanding each other, when Garraty says, "kill me"? I can't even think about it without a lump in my throat, and last time I read it was about four years ago

[Girlystevedave]

Started The Shining a little while ago...first read. :)

[William50]

Ah, a classic. A GREAT read!

[Girlystevedave]

Yeah..I'm pretty excited.

And William, :thumbsup: on the Edgar Allan Poe book. It's very pretty. :drool: I have a super old one that is falling apart. :lol:

[William50]

Yeah..I'm pretty excited.

And William, :thumbsup: on the Edgar Allan Poe book. It's very pretty. :drool: I have a super old one that is falling apart. :lol:

I have 5 different Edgar Allen Poe books. They all have the same stories in them, but I guess you could call me a collector!

[Girlystevedave]

It's a good thing to collect. :)

[William50]

I believe that everyone collects something. Even if they don't know it.

[ManOfWesternesse]

Finished my current re-read of 'The Great Hunt' - Book 2 of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series last night & started on Book3 'The Dragon Reborn' this morning.

[John_and_Yoko]

FINALLY finished From a Buick 8.

Probably start Desperation and The Regulators next month (considering reading both at the same time).

[jayson]

Probably start Desperation and The Regulators next month (considering reading both at the same time).

I'd read them one at a time to avoid confusion. You'll understand why once you're done.

[sarah]

Started The Shining a little while ago...first read. :)



oooooo post in The Shining thread when you finish. I want to hear all the parts you thought were scary. ><

[what]

Just finished Swine Not?... I guess I'll finally start Twilight now... gotta read what I got before I buy more i guess...

[alinda]

I currently am reading your posts....I believe it's
about time to go to the book store again!
( not that I am not rivited by your posts ...I am!) ;)

[John_and_Yoko]

Probably start Desperation and The Regulators next month (considering reading both at the same time).

I'd read them one at a time to avoid confusion. You'll understand why once you're done.

Oh?

[alinda]

yeah, you'll notice theres a little situation
with peoples names...kind of like :
The names have been changed to protect
the innocent...but not really.
Both really good reads tho' I think!




Edited to include spoiler tag...sorry!:ninja:

Oh?

I suppose I could elaborate a bit more without it being a spoiler or ruining anything for you. In both of these books King uses the same names for many of the characters. They are not the same characters, but the names and some characteristics are the same. If you read the books simultaneously this could prove confusing. If you read them one right after the other (as I did) it shouldn't be an issue.

I kind of wondered if that was it--and you're right, you haven't spoiled anything for me, as I was aware of that already.

The reason I wanted to read both at the same time was to keep what happens in each in my mind so that I can better compare the two in my mind. ;)

But thanks! :)

[jayson]

No prob J&Y. Like I said, I read them back-to-back, Desperation first, and found that it was still fresh in my mind while reading The Regulators. However you decide read them, hope you enjoy them both. I did.

[The Lady of Shadows]

went to the bookstore again today (yeah, i hang out there). figured what the hell and picked up the running man. read it in one sitting. once again, i had forgotten what that story was truly about. and i never realized all the connections to the dark tower and IT that were in it. i guess because i had forgotten, having read it so long ago.


and jean - what you said about the long walk is so true. and what about the rabbit. oh man. the fucking rabbit.

you know, i read those stories now and i think: how can a person survive with all that inside them? how can a person exist with all that swirling around in their head, all day every day, world without end? and then i realize: they can't and that's why he writes. he'd be in a psychiatric institute if he didn't. he'd have to be.

[razz]

i hate the fact that your able to spend an entire day at a bookstore

[razz]

you know i was thinking of riding my bike up to the GV mall tomorra. there's a new used bookstore right across the street. apparently they gots really good deals

[William50]

Nice. Look for some SK books.

[Míchéal]

I'm reading IT at the minute

[Woofer]

About 10 pages into The Long Walk.


{snip} but you people keep talking about rage and the long walk {/snip}




About 10 pages into The Long Walk.

Oooh, that's my favorite in the book. Let me know how you like it.

Will do. Its so highly recommended by people that I admire. I'm sure it won't disappoint.

Guess what I started this evening? Also, I have finished my previous reading and moved on to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Idiot.




I thought that the Tommyknockers was a great book. I have read it 4 times in the last 2years.

My favorite Edgar Allen Poe is Eldorado.
Just love that poem!

If I didn't know for a fact that I have never had children, William50, I'd swear you're mine!

Alex, I love El Dorado. I recited it for our poetry competition in grammar school.


I believe that everyone collects something. Even if they don't know it.

DEFINITELY read them back-to-back. You'll get a lot more out of them that way. I just finished them a few weeks ago (rereads) and it's hard enough to keep track of who's who one book at a time. :)

ETA: Just got a copy of collected poems by W.H. Auden from Amazon today. Think I'll take that one to work and peruse it over my lunch hour for the next few days.

[Ka-mai]

Finished Anansi Boys last night. Today I started The Complete Hitchhiker's Guide, and I'm also halfway through Zen and the Art of Poker (I think that's the title, anyway).

[razz]

apparently the Genesee Valley mall is too far to bike. so i guess i'm gonna get a ride. this is my mum talking not me

[William50]

My mom is always messing with my plans. Grrrrrr!

[The Lady of Shadows]

i hate the fact that your able to spend an entire day at a bookstore

it wasn't the entire day razzle dazzle, it was only three (3) hours. it's not that long of a novella. i love the bookstore. i live at the bookstore. that's why they're always telling me i should just work there. :lol:

[razz]

i would love to work at a bookstore.

[citiesburnred]

I just finished World War Z (took a while kept getting distracted and only reading like...5 pages a day but really enjoyed it) and just started reading Stalin's Ghost by Martin Cruz Smith

[Tiffany]

Still working through Skeleton Crew. So far my favorite short story is "Survivor Type." Ewww, creeeeepy!
Right now I'm in the middle of "Ballad of the Flexible Bullet." So far, so good.

I've picked up so many books in the past couple weeks that I'm not sure which to start next.

[bluelph24]

Finished Anansi Boys last night. Today I started The Complete Hitchhiker's Guide, and I'm also halfway through Zen and the Art of Poker (I think that's the title, anyway).

i am indescribably jealous of both of you because it's your first time reading it. the all-important towel entry is my favorite part of the whole thing i think.

I have 5 different Edgar Allen Poe books. They all have the same stories in them, but I guess you could call me a collector!

I have a VERY old copy of his complete works with some differences in story titles and minor textual variations. It cost me a dollar or two at an antique store.

awesome. i personally can't wait for the movie in march. have you seen the trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4blSrZvPhU

[fernandito]

Plenty of times :D

I even have it saved onto my phone so that I can watch it whenever I feel the urge to :cyclops:

[William50]

I have never read The Talisman. I have been meaning to but I always end up reading something else.

[William50]

I've heard that there are alot of DT connections in The Talisman.

[Unfound One]

Not so many in the Talisman, but definitely in Black House!
I highly recommend both William. :thumbsup:
Alex - how far into the Talisman are you?

[Daghain]

Oh, I am heartbroken. I LOVE The Talisman! :cry:

[Unfound One]

:couple:

[Girlystevedave]

Finished The Shining last night.....I think I may start The Long walk. :orely:

[Brice]

Yes, you should.

I just finished DT VI and am starting DTVII. :D

[Disincarnate]

I'm reading Hell House by Richard Matheson right now. Pretty standard haunted house novel so far. I like it.

I just finished the first Anita Blake novel by Laurell K. Hamilton the other day too. Hooray for trashy sci-fi vampire romance! Not extraordinary literature, but a great read nonetheless.

[Disincarnate]

Ha. First post on this board and I double post. Sweeet. Sorry.

[William50]

I have finished The Green Mile and I am now reading Insomnia. I loved the Green Mile by the way. :thumbsup:

[William50]

I have both of those but I haven't gotten around to them yet.
I think the talisman is going to take me a while.

Why? Is it hard to read or just long?

[William50]

Maybe you should set it aside and read something else.

[Jon]

I think you will find that book worth your time.

[Jean]

reading Duma Key now, about 50 pages into it and so far loving it about 50 times more than Lisey Story at the same stage... at least I learned about the main character something other than how underwear sticks in the crack of their ass...

[Girlystevedave]

Finished The Shining last night.....I think I may start The Long walk. :orely:

Let me know when you finish the long walk.
I hear other people talk about it and I feel like I didn't read the same book.
I must be missing something!
Talk to me about it when you finish it, please.


Yes, you should.



I lied. I'm not gonna read The Long Walk yet. Instead I picked up The Chronicles of Narnia today and started it. I think The Shining gave me enough suspense for a while...and The Hobbit just fueled my desire for something more magical and fantasy filled. We'll see how it goes. :)



I'm finding it rather dull.
I don't even like the main character, Jack.

The Talisman is one of my favorite books, but I found myself really bored with the story up to a certain point, then BAM! I was hooked. I do hope that it picks up for you.
Otherwise, maybe you should put it aside for another day.

[Ruthful]

Lonesome Dove is probably the best piece of literature, outside of Tom Wolfe and Charles Mingus's memoir, which I read for my major. I have the other three novels in that series on my bookshelf, but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.

Yes, it's probably my favorite autobiography written by a musician. Although, I hear that Slash's memoir is pretty wicked.

Hoping to start Prisoner of Azkaban within the next few days. :)

Just finished Swan Song. Now I'm reading A Game of Thrones, about 200 pages in and I've had to force myself to read it sometimes hoping it would pick up and I would get into it, but it hasn't really happened so far.

Also interested in trying Palahniuk, read like half of Fight Club when my friend left it at my place one day, didn't finish it before he picked it up, gotta borrow it and finish it:p Anyone got suggestions on another book of his to start with?

[jayson]

Yes, it's probably my favorite autobiography written by a musician.

It's right up there for me as well along with "The Real Frank Zappa Book" by FZ.

i had to take a short hiatus from my X-Wing Rogue Squadron book due to my puppy confusing it for a chew toy. :doh: I bought another one.

Hi Alex. I just got a feeling of Déjà vu.

Don't worry, I'm not stalking you!

What are you reading right now? I know you've said, But I can't remember what it was.
I'm still on The Talisman.:thumbsup:

Right now I am reading Insomnia. The first time I read it I didn't really like it, so maybe if I read it again I will enjoy it more.

[William50]

I think you should read it, but only because it has some DT connections. It is one of those love it or hate it books.

[William50]

After reading the DT series, it is really fun to see a connection in a book. Gets me all excited! :excited:

[fernandito]

Now I'm reading A Game of Thrones, about 200 pages in and I've had to force myself to read it sometimes hoping it would pick up and I would get into it, but it hasn't really happened so far.


Stick with it Oy - it gets much better as it goes on, many others here would vouch for it. I had trouble getting into it a first also, but luckily I decied to stick with it - I just finished the second book and I have to say I'm pretty much addicted. You won't regret it.

[William50]

I know what you mean!
But Skeleton Crew was a real disapointment.
I had to ask Turtlesong what the connections were in it, I would never have guessed on my own!


I enjoyed Skeleton Crew, but I read it before I read the DT so I wasn't looking for connections like I am now. I may just read it again.

[William50]

You have not seen it yet? It is a great movie! It was nice and creepy.

[William50]

I saw it in the movie theater. The size of the screen makes it better. :) You should rent it on DVD. At least I think it's on DVD.

[Daghain]

Read Haunted. Just don't do it while you're eating, especially if you're more than halfway through. Just sayin'. :)


The Big Sleep - Chandler

Great book!

And, JB, The Thorn Birds is an excellent book. I think you'll enjoy it. :)

[Unfound One]

I just finished IT and I'm a fucking wreck.

[John Blaze]

And, JB, The Thorn Birds is an excellent book. I think you'll enjoy it. :)

it's a reread, so yeah :D

[darktowerseeker]

I've started Duma Key. I was shocked in the beginning by the character's last name. I wasn't expecting a DT connection that early on.

[Jean]

wait till you are shocked by his email address

[KaLikeAWheel]

I just finished IT and I'm a fucking wreck.

"IT" had that effect on me too... :panic:but then again, I absolutely HATE spiders and am completely creeped out by clowns, and both conditions existed before I read "IT"!

[Jean]

I am about one third into Duma Key, and I don't like it -




... I fucking love it! Hell, I adore it, every word of it!

[William50]

You scared me for a second there. :)

[Jean]

that was intended http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wink-1.gif

[William50]

I never get tired of those bear smileys. :rolleyes:

[Erin]

Yay Jean! I thought Duma Key was amazing!

[Girlystevedave]

I am about one third into Duma Key, and I don't like it -




...

You got me excited for a second there.

[fernandito]

That makes two of us.

[William50]

I have not yet heard a a bad comment about Duma Key.

[Girlystevedave]

Do you want to hear one? :evil:

Why You Should Read Kafka Before You Waste Your Life, by James Hawes

[William50]

Do you want to hear one? :evil:

Yeah, let's see what ya got! :lol:

[Heather19]

Right now I am reading Insomnia. The first time I read it I didn't really like it, so maybe if I read it again I will enjoy it more.

Let me know how that goes for you. I've been wondering if I should revisit that one someday since it gets so much love around here, but I don't know if I want to subject myself to that possible torture again.


I am about one third into Duma Key, and I don't like it -




... I fucking love it! Hell, I adore it, every word of it!

You had me so scared for a min there Jean. I had only scrolled down enough to see the first line you wrote and I was devastated.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I loved that book.

[Girlystevedave]

Do you want to hear one? :evil:

Yeah, let's see what ya got! :lol:

I couldn't really say anything bad. I don't wanna ruin it for someone who may enjoy it.

[William50]

I don't suggest reading it. I am not enjoying it again. I guess reading about an old dude is not my thing. :) Although it is cool to hear about the Crimson king.

[Darkthoughts]

I'm reading Interworld by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves, and it is AWESOME!

The concept is really great. It imagines that the universe is an arc, kinda like a rainbow. Towards one end all the worlds are based and run on magic, and on the other, science.
There are two agencies, HEX (magic) and Binary (science) who are corrupt and are each trying to gain universal domination - Interworld is like a gunslinger outfit, trying to keep a balance between the two.

Buy it and read it :thumbsup:

[The Lady of Shadows]

The Talisman.

My only comment so far: Jack is dumb, even amazingly capable of dealing with the unknown, the unexpected, and the terrifying especially for a twelve year old.

there you go alex. i fixed that post for you. :P


ETA: just started up high in the trees by kiara brinkman.

[William50]

I hope somebody writes a book (or two) to go along with the LostBoys movies.
But I finished insomnia and I still didn't really like it, so I'm going to read the Green Mile again. :)

[Ruthful]

Joe Hill's collection of short stories has been on my local library's shelves for months, yet I've resisted the temptation to pick it up. I've never felt compelled to even crack a book by Stephen King's wife, notwithstanding the shared surname. Today I finally succombed to the avalanche of praise heaped upon his work by you folks, whose taste in literary matters is usually sound, and borrowed it for the next three weeks.

Now I don't really want to read it!
I will anyway, since I bought it.

Currently, I'm still reading The Talisman.
It made me very angry today.
Intolerance and stupidity tend to do that to me.


I must ask: Why did it make you angry?

I personally haven't been able to get into Tabby's writing(I've onlt tried with her early stuff though). Joe hill is unquestionably phenomenal though.

I'm not really into the whole mystery genre. Plus, the photos she did for his novels' book jackets never really inspired much confidence in me in terms of her artistic talent.

[theBeamisHome]

i'm currently working on Neverwhere

[Unfound One]

Since I finished IT, I'm not currently reading anything! :panic:

Should I start The Shining, Bag of Bones, Tommyknockers, or The Green Mile? I've got them all here, but I just don't know.
Anyone?

[Daghain]

Green Mile. EXCELLENT book. :)

[theBeamisHome]

Bag of Bones!!

[jayson]

I'd vote for The Shining myself.

[theBeamisHome]

Basically any one of them except the Tommyknockers... unless you want to save the best for last...

I love the Green Mile.... makes me cry, movie and book... i really cried reading it.

[Ruthful]

When You Are Engulfed In Flames, by David Sedaris

Alrighty, The Green Mile it is.

[Daghain]

:clap:

Good choice!

[William50]

Alrighty, The Green Mile it is.

Oh yeah. Of of my favorites!! :dance:

[jhanic]

My vote would be for Green Mile, with Bag of Bones a close second. Neither has any real relationship to the DT series. Sometimes you just need a break! Both are GREAT stories!

Please let us know what you think of it when your done. I've never read anything by Tabby, her books just don't seem to interest me, but Joe Hill is great. And you can tell just by reading it that he's related to King, it has the same kinda feel to it.

[Brainslinger]

I'm currently reading Viking: Odinn's Child by Tim Severin.

Sort of historical Viking story (well it wouldn't be about florists with that title would it) with a bit of supernatural mixed in. I took a bit of a chance on in it, not knowing the author, and because I've read other viking novels before and I thought it might just be more of the same. (Although I've liked the ones I've read, mostly.) I'm enjoying this though.

[John Blaze]

Alrighty, The Green Mile it is.


I knew you were as smart as you are beautiful!

good choice.

[The Lady of Shadows]

alex - so you mean the stupidity about what they did to wolf and how they treated him? that i can totally related to and understand completely. if you are where i think you are then you are where i had to put the book down and cry and cry and cry.

oh, and your question about why jack didn't just take the bus? you can't really decide when to get off a cross-country bus like you can when you're hitching. plus, it's not like he had the money for a ticket. and i wonder what a bus would have turned into in the territories?

[obscurejude]

Started reading Running Man. Is Road Work any good? I don't really have a desire to read it, but I will if its highly recommended, at least give it a shot.

[Ruthful]

I enjoyed it. It has the same fast-paced type of narrative of the other stories.

[jayson]

I enjoyed Road Work as well.

[razz]

i found firestarter! it was in a shoebax halfway under my bed covered i golf clubs and origami fish. i shall resume reading it after i listen to "LT's Theory on Pets"

[Shamey]

do you have a habit of stuffing piles of golf clubs and origami fish under your bed?

[alinda]

I'm likeing it alot, and have met the rainbird :evil:

[Lord_Vertigo]

Aside from what I'm reading for classes (yes, even in the summertime) ...

My wife and I just started Dark Tower III. I read it to her out loud at night.

Norman Cantor's "Civilization of the Middle Ages"

I'd dearly love to pick up either Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter at some point. Preferably when the weather turns wet and gloomy again, and the coffeepot is constantly full.

[William50]

Ah, Lord of the Rings. My favorite non-DT book series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

[fernandito]

I'd dearly love to pick up either Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter at some point.

Definitely hit up Harry Potter as soon as you get the chance! :thumbsup:

Of course it wasn't much of a surprise. I know you don't care much for LotR.

Just finished my reread of Watchmen. I"m going to try and read IT again, and if/when I finish, I'm going to start Prisoner of Azkaban.

[Daghain]

I think you would like Road Work. Definitely give it a try.

Just finished The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving and am starting a reread of Dreamcatcher. I'm also reading Selected Poems of W. H. Auden.

[Heather19]

I"m going to try and read IT again

I hope you enjoy it this time!

[Tiffany]

I just got finished with I Am Legend and loved the story but was a bit disappointed with the book. Doesn't sound like that makes much sense but when I picked up this 317 page book, I thought I was in for a great long story.
Turns out, only 160 pages of it was actually I Am Legend. The rest are short stories and while the ones I read were good, the book says I Am Legend on the front...not I Am Legend and other stories.

Anyway, now I'm on The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

I felt that way when I bought it too.

[Unfound One]

Feev Feev Feev!
PLEASE start IT again...
It's so worth it.

Oh, I forgot, along with starting Green Mile last night, I've been listening to The Gunslinger in my car. The original version, and it's my first time to read/hear the original. It's quite different so far...

[Jean]

Feev Feev Feev!

just got house of leaves: the remastered full-color edition in the mail.

ummmm? i'm confused. i just paged through it and parts of it are upside down and in boxes? there's boxes of foreign languages? there are parts crossed out in what looks like red pen? some of the pages only have five or six lines all the way at the bottom?

what in the hell did i get myself into here?

:scared:

[Hannah]

just finished The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah (after a good nonfic i like to read fluffy fiction). I'm moving on to Rant By Chuck P., as I still haven't read that one yet, although I've been meaning to.

[Erin]

It's so good! Actually it replaced Choke as my favorite Chucky P. book.

I think next i'm going to read "Snuff". Have you checked it out yet, Hannah?

[Hannah]

I haven't yet. I haven't even bought it. I totally missed his book signing in Denver too. :cry:

I will. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything but negative stuff about it. :(

Currently reading Jane Eyre, which I'm ashamed to admit I'm reading for the first time :blush: And I'm really enjoying it.

It's the sort of book I'd have skimmed over when I was younger, because the narrative is so descriptive, but I'm taking time with it and appreciating it.

[William50]

Technology scares me! :excited:

About to start Desperation and The Regulators.

I loved The Regulators, but didn't enjoy Desperation as much. Not because of the quality of writing - but the initial content freaked me out...I guess its a Mum thing ;)

[Ka-mai]

I just read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time, Matt's been wanting me to read it for ages.

I liked the overall ideas, but I thought it got a teensy bit preachy/wordy. Also, pretty much every sentence is a simile or metaphor, and that got irritating.

Other than that, very good.

the first time! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_shocked.gif one of the books that I've been reading since I remember myself. I re-read it a few years ago, because, you see, I couldn't even tell whether it was good or bad - I knew it too well, it was like part of me, - and I found out that it was kickass! Also, it was the first time I read it in English - it was amazing, the same book you know by heart, and at the same time not the same book... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

That's typical Bradbury, he always over does the prose! My favourite stories of his are Something Wicked This Way Comes and the short story A Miracle Of Rare Device - you should check 'em out :thumbsup:

:blush: I know!! :D It's terrible that I hadn't read it sooner. My middle sister is a fiend for the classics and I think I was of the notion, when I was younger, that if she liked them they must all be sentimental claptrap - because she's very romantic :lol: But I apologise to both my sister and the authors of the multitude of classics I'm too ashamed to tell you I haven't read :D

I'll definitely be looking into some other graphic novels now. :D

And also, finishing it makes me so so so so excited for the movie! Dayum. It's gonna be intense.
