He only has the one book, so I don't really "collect" him, but Christopher Beuhlman's debut, "Those Across the River" has recieved some early accolades.

Here's my Amazon review, which links to the...

I dunno...there's just that one Joe Hill thread here, same as there's on McCammon thread.

I don't think they bother anybody, and if there's no action, they'll fade away on their own...but since I...

Thanks Karl. I just emailed customer service again to check on the situation. After more than a week, I'd expect some kind of a communication. Even if it is only a "Thank you for your order"...

I've thought about ordering the 451 s/l, but I dunno...I was never a big fan of the book itself.

I have about 200 signed Easton editions! It's such a crap shoot, of which will be worth something...

Finished Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections and I was impressed...it held up. It doesn't have a "payoff" ending, but the ending works. It finishes strong.

It's not an easy read, and it took me...

Agree 1,000,000%. I don't see ANYONE reading his books and if I do, they are usually on page 10 and looking very confused. It's almost like he is mocking us by having his writing, literally,...

Well, I'm going to finish the book I'm reading now ("The Thing," by Alan Dean Foster!) and then I'm going to read The Corrections cover-to-cover no matter what...so I'll have a valid opinion instead...

Holy crap you do?! Wow - super cool. I have a BA in English and a BA in Comp Lit. How cool! Had no idea.

Yeah - Franzen is still garbage.[/QUOTE]

My MFA and .50 cents still won't get me a cup...

I hate his writing. I hated The Corrections and I am HATING Freedom. It's almost like he is trying SO HARD to be literary. And the media is just eating him up...

Haha....that's...

Franzen's going to be in Portsmouth in a few days....I've tried and failed to get into Corrections, and I did a quick skim of Freedom and wasn't even slightly intrigued...I feel bad, but he just...

Does your new copy have the print error as seen below:

My copy does NOT have that...

Well, I had a gift certificate so I went ahead and bought one of the pre-signed Passage copies...I kind of like it as it has a full signature (still a little scrawled), rather than the quicker 'JC'...

Water Street Books in Exeter, NH has a whole big stack of the bound-in signed editions of The Passage...not limited, but signed on a blank endpiece...

Dunno what they charge for shipping.

I was quite unimpressed by "The Road." Read it, and got a big case of the meh.

But..."Blood Meridian" is great...yes, it's the same writing style, but it feels so much deeper. I would give that a...

Do read McCammon's They Thirst and Boy's Life..
Two excellent books.

Usher's Passing is also very good...he wrote a short story collection "Blue" something that was good too.

Haha...no, my copy is safe and sound...but a broke-ass friend bought one because I told him I'd sell it for him.

I wish I had hardcover copies of the McCammon books, to jump on that offer. But, my...

Did you read them all at once?

I read DaVinci Code, then DFortress, then Deception Point and then Angels.

By the time I got to Angels, I was so exhausted from the formula, that Angels was my...

Really? Deception's actually the one I like the least...but looking back, it was a quick read, which was sort of it's point...but I couldn't get past the Evil NASA plotline (or whatever gov't agency...

I wasn't quoting you, or telling you what you should have said. I was giving an example of a statement that would qualify as a difference of opinion. "I could care less..." is not really an opinion;...
