    Have you thought about possibly getting kindle? You can change the size of the font to whatever you want. Also the paperwhite isn't lit like a computer screen, so it doesn't give me any eye strain or headaches. It really does visually look like I'm reading a paper page.

    If I want to keep reading, it will come to that eventually. Gosh I will hate giving up reading actual books though. Will still collect!

    I was hesitant at first as well, but honestly it's my preferred way of reading now. It's just so much easier and more convenient. And yes I still do collect books too. I just bought a house last summer and my dream has finally come true. We had an extra room that I've turned into a library. It's my favorite spot.

    A nice edition crafted with thought and love will always improve the experience but, really, the story is the same. I love the full experience (a book is on my lap at this moment): book, cup of tea, cats parked next to me on the couch but I'm also 100% good with having an entire world library in my pocket. It'll do in a pinch. There's no shame in it and the transition period is what you make it.

    I also listen to music digitally in my car even though I have 1200 records.

    Will you definitely have to do that eventually? Are there no visual aid workarounds?

    I can't imagine having to give up reading physical books - I really hope you can avoid that end.

    I know readers recognize how bad it is when you want to read but cannot so thank you all.

    We Sold Our Souls - Grady Hendrix. Really fun so far. I was a metal head in the late 80’s and early 90’s so I may be biased. I like this one much better than Horrorstör, which was a good read.

    Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
    It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
    Brother ARC, Seed ARC

    Brian Lumley - Necroscope

    Found a hardcover for $5. I know this is the first book in a series. Is this one long story or can I stop after Necroscope?

    I don't think I have the mental fortitude to start another series.

    I'm really enjoying it. I also love the ghost stories she wrote. Dark Matter is one of my favorites.

    Finished a couple of short novels in the last two days.

    Dan DeLillo - The Silence. First I was intrigued, then annoyed, then mad that I wasted my time on this.

    Jeffrey Ford - Out of Body. Pretty cool. I didn't see the twist coming. Fans of Brian Keene and Kealan Patrick Burke should like this.

    DNFd Robert Silverberg - Thorns. I didn't mind it but I wasn't getting anything out of it. For the most part, I prefer Silverberg's early fun SF vs the later more philosophical works.

    Currently reading The Left Hand of Darkness, Necroscope, and Night Visions 5 (with Simmons, King and GRRM) and I'm having a blast.

Can never tell with Ellis but it might be that we would not have American Psycho without Stephen King's influence.
    I really liked this book. I saw BEE at an event in NYC and he described it as a "vibe novel", not too concerned with plot. I think that's the best way to approach reading it. The endless repetition of street names in LA reminded me a lot of the constant brand-name dropping in American Psycho

    I'm in the mood for some Bradbury so I'll read Dandelion Wine again.

    And then Farewell Summer in August and Something Wicked in September.

    I like to get seasonal with my reads.

    well i finished Kisscut and loved it but it's not one for everyone nor is it's author either. anyways now i'm reading The Face of Fear (1977) and old Dean Koontz book i counted all the books i've ever actually read by him and the number if you can believe it is fucking #5! this if i actually finish it will be #6! it's not bad so far it's different than what i'm used to from him but that don't really mean much since there's just so much of his i have not read. it's also the Earliest book of his if i finished it i've read. the last one "The Mask (1981) that i read last year holy shit was that awful. that may make a good film if they get someone who writes a good script and it doesn't follow the book or does what the book could not finish it since the book did not feel finished at all. anyways the one i'm on now is pretty good thus far it's not one of his long ones either i'm enjoying it thus far has anyone read it?
