What are you currently reading?

The sixty pages from The Drawing of the Three that I skipped during my first reread of the book.

wtf, why?

[WeDealInLead]

I like to pick a theme for each month and (loosely) group books/authors. May is "British Invasion". It sounds really lame. Oh well. This is what I have on the go right now:

Neil Gaiman - The Graveyard Book
Douglas Adams - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
William Meikle - Clockwork Dolls
Warren Ellis - Gun Machine
Alan Moore - Voice of the Fire

I had similar sentiments when I saw this post, Feev. Please elaborate Ruthful; which 60 and why did you skip so much of the most influential book in the series?

Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge
I've been in a reading slump lately, so when I passed by this cheap paperback on a shelf at the dollar store, and it caught my attention, I felt compelled to get it just to read something, anything. (I hate not having a book to read at all times.)

I'm glad I did, cause this guy is a damn good writer.

Finished Horns last night. I was very disappointed.

Happens to me all the time. Bargain bins & rummage sales! Pulp & small printers! Lots of fine sleepers are mixed in with the stupid.

Have you read any of his other books? I got maybe halfway thru but it wasn't really grabbing me, so I put it down and have yet to finish it. I love his other books though.

True.
And when you just really want to read something, you'll give almost anything a shot, just for the sake of reading.

Yes, loved HSB and the short stories. Horns started out so great, like an old SK short story...WHAM! Here's some weird shit, deal with it. If he'd stayed with that it could have been great.

[fernandito]

Fuuuuuuuuhhhhh, still haven't read anything by Hill yet.

[Stebbins]

[Mattrick]

The Brother's Karamazov by Dostoevsky...my arm hurts from carrying it. Read 45 pages today...same amount of time Catcher In The Rye in that time.

[fernandito]

I'm sorry.

[Stebbins]

I'm sorry.

That bad IYO?

I figured I should read it before the TV series starts, so I have a basis of comparison. I'm 150 pages in and I'm liking it, thus far. King can sure create a despicable character; I already hate both Rennie men.

[Dan]

I loved UTD and am going to re-read it again this summer.

[Heather19]

Fuuuuuuuuhhhhh, still haven't read anything by Hill yet.

You better get going!


I also loved Under the Dome.

Well I'll weigh in with a final verdict when I am done.

I also have yet to read anything by JH. I had Horns in my hands at the library the other day. But I was anxious to start and finish UTD, and there's so many other books/authors I want to read.

[Ricky]

I really liked Under the Dome too, but I can understand the hate.

And Stebbins, Heart-Shaped Box is a great Joe Hill intro. The short stories are really great, too.

[jhanic]

I wouldn't say it's one of King's best, but it IS very good, IMO.

[Mattrick]

King had an oppourtunity to write something special and I thought he really underutilized his chance. Hopefully the television series will make better use of it.

[Stebbins]

Thanks Ricky. HSB was there too; maybe when I'm ready for a Joe Hill, I'll grab that one.

[Empath of the White]

Back to Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson. I love Malaz.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Lolita, and finishing up Cat's Cradle.
