I'm about halfway through Just After Sunset now. The Gingerbread Girl is my favourite story so far
Yer bugger!.
It took two attempts though. On my first one I kind of lost interest midway through. I believe it was at the part where Sansa and her friend Jeyne Poole were attending a tourney. A few months later I came back, started from the beginning, and kept reading. Khal Drogo and Daenerys were my favorite characters. I especially liked whenSpoiler:Poetic justice at its finest. I found it refreshing that he managed to create a fantasy without getting bogged down in the usual stereotypes of the genre. (Aside, I hope Joffrey gets everything he deserves.) I felt bad for Sansa when
Spoiler:
I did some research, and it appears that I may be in the same predicament the Tower Junkies were in during the lull betwen WAG and WOTC. George ain't getting any younger!
Just finished Desperation.
Talk about creepy....
Anyway, going to start The Regulators tomorrow.

Well, I was "supposed" to start on JaS after finishing "The Salmon of Doubt"...but, somehow, I've managed to either misplace, or let someone borrow, my copy of JaS
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
Just After Sunset has arrived!!
Also finally got around to getting a copy of Twilight, although I'm not sure how quickly I'll get to reading it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Started The Regulators yesterday--it's a FAST read....
I'm just about to read the Green Mile again. Man i love that book.

as the infection spread, the gathered community gazed in wonder and terror as yet another beloved member was brought low by this terrifying and atrocious phenomenom.
I know, I know, but I just couldn't resist seeing what all the fuss was about.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I love Lord of the Flies.
Desperation scared the hell out of me..
so did the Regulators, but not as bad.
i'm fighting the urge to read Twilight.
Read two stories from Just After Sunset in B&N and wasn't too pressed to buy it from what i read.
Just finished The Library Policeman
Starting Duma Key.
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
So...you didn't read N, did you?I love Lord of the Flies.

Currently, I am reading Wizards and Glass. It's my least favorite of the DT series, but it's till very good.
Just curious, but why is it your least favorite of the DT series?
John
Least? W&G might be my favorite. Which would be your favorite?

you know guys... there are lots of thread dedicated to those books, and specifically to the question of which is whose most or least favorite, and why.
::cough cough::
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)

Thanks for putting us back on track, bear!

Just finished Blaze. I thought it was good. Nice change from the abstract writing that King has done of late.
I think I am going to read "A Christmas Carol" next. It has been hanging around on my shelf for awhile. And Christmas is coming up so.......
I'm over 3/4 of the way through The Regulators and plan to finish the whole thing tomorrow.
I'm actually reading Fellowship of the Ring right now. I think I'm like the only person here, or anywhere for that matter who hasn't yet read the Lord of the Rings series or seen the movies. I think the series is freaking awesome so far, can't believe I've missed out on this all these years, lol. =P
