What, doesn’t everyone?
what Troy said; also, Great Expectations is the most similar to a novel in the common meaning of the word; while Nicholas Nicklby (my personal favorite) is, in bears' opinion, the most dickensian

Disappearance at Devil's Rock is very different from AHFOG. It's a great story, though one I'm not sure I'd read again, only because it was a bit disturbing in a very realistic sense. There's images in that book that are still stuck with me today even though it's been a number of years since I read it. That said, I would definitely recommend it.
Cabin at the End of the World was really good as well.

oh, I love it! The Haunting is even better, but then again The Haunting is better than almost anything that is already written or is going to be.
yes, and her short stories too. She is incredible.

Don't worry Jean, I also love The Haunting of Hill House

HoHH is one of the most unnerving books I have ever read. I had seen the first film version of it ages ago but when I read the book, it really creeped me out. I love it. I haven't seen the netflix show yet but I hear it's pretty good.

I really enjoyed the show. Have yet to read the book.

It took me a few tries to watch just because it is so different from the book. But once I realized that and got past the first episode, it really was an amazing series. Genuinely creepy. I wish more horror films took cues from this show. Definitely recommend it, just dont expect the book going in.

Just started it last night. Fun writing style. Some beautiful sentences. I can already see how influential it is. Good stuff so far.

Finished Blaze. Not that great. Was ok at best. At least I can say I read it now.
Started Swan Song by McCammron. My first by him. Hoping it is good. Heard good things about it
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Sorry to hear that about Blaze. I really enjoyed that one.

It's good - one of McCammon's best (together with Boy's life - which is better.)
But it's not as good as some claim it is - like superior to king's The Stand.
Enjoy!!

I liked Blaze okay. It had the feel of an early Bachman book, which is what interested me most about it.
Swan Song is very good - some very original ideas, and the writing is fine. It's also very much a book of its time - I don't mean that as a negative, I read it recently and still enjoyed it - I mean it has a very distinctive voice and style of the 80s epic horror novel. Hard to compare it to The Stand - they are very different novels.

Okay, a few things on the go:
The War of the Worlds reread when I'm out and about and I can squeeze in a chapter.
The Complete Short Stories of Frank Herbert - home reading, might take a while. Nearly 700 pages in negative 5 font size.
City of the Chach - reread because I decided I'm going to finally finish the entire series.
Picking up Rosemary's Baby from the library tomorrow and that's going to be the main read.
Have you read Rosemary's Baby before? If not, you're in for a treat. Great book.

I honestly can't remember. I lost about ten years worth of lists (movies, books, concerts, TV shows). Either way, I like to pick a theme for a month and more or less try to stick with it. I've recently reread two books Suntup published + RB and then I'm going to tackle a few Centipede did.Have you read Rosemary's Baby before? If not, you're in for a treat. Great book.
Not even in the same ballpark, my friendPS: I liked Brother better though Bri

If you don't like it, don't swear off McCammon. I struggled to get through this one although I loved Boy's Life and enjoyed a few of his other books.
I'm finally reading Pet Sematary. I avoided it for years because I had seen the film and wanted to forget all that I knew before I could read it. Then I avoided it because I had a kid and was too scared to read it.
Having said that, about 30 pages in, I decided that I don't really care for The Creeds very much. Are these people supposed to be likable?
Seems to me Louis does not like his own daughter much (cannot blame him on that)! Ha!
Gotta love Jud though!
