Real books for lyfe, muthaphukkkas!
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a kindly kindle lit my way
as fitting as a thimble
I am a drunken bear today
Unable to read anyway,
but loving my new kindle!
there was a big bear of nowhere
who got a new kindle for his prayer
he drank till he was
all tangled in his paws
then he said, oh Lord, it's unfair

Well at least now you will be able to read King's newest stuff as soon as it's out, Jean. So that's certainly a plus. On the flipside, paper books are the shit.
Finished WTTK.
Where do I go now?
I brought twelve King books but don't know which to start first!
They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they did.

What did you get, and have you previously read any of them?

I'm on the third leg of my reread so far. Kind of worried about what will happen when I get to the end of Books IV and V though. Such bad memories.
:/
well, to reply to both of you fine gentlemen, I got these:
Duma Key
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Misery
Insomnia
Cell
The Regulators
Lisey's Story
Pet Sematary
Skeleton Crew
The Eyes Of The Dragon
Hearts In Atlantis
Salem's lot
I've never read any of these...
...Please forgive me!

Thank ya Jean.
Pet Sematary it is then, although I do slightly remember the T.V. film...
...a scalpel springs to mind.

I've been breaking up the longer novels with the short story collections or shorter books in general and have been happy with it. Of course, to each their own. You should really get a copy of IT, also. It's a spectacular book.
Thinking of trying something very different. Anyone read Koji Suzuki's Ring books? Yes, the novels the Japanese and the American Ring movies were based on. There are three novels, Ring, Spiral, and Loop, and a collection called Birthday. I vaguely remember seeing the first Ring in theaters and being scared shitless, but that's all I've experienced of the franchise. I wonder what the source books are like.
Finished the first book of the 50 Shades of Grey series! It was poorly written and repetitive! The sex scenes was meh and for the life of me I do not get the big deal about this book until someone said it was started off as a Twilight fanfic! Guess that's why it's popular. Now it's going to be a movie. E L James is making some serious money off her horrible written series.
I picked up 50 Shades of Grey today (in the store, I did NOT buy it ) just to see what all the hype is about and from what I read, it is very poorly written. Almost embarrassing.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
