    I finished Just After Sunset, and I can honestly say I wish I had not read the last story.

    Jean, you're right, Mute was very good.
    Mute


    Just After Sunset


    Basically, disappointed. Honestly King's new work has not impressed me, I think the last thing I really, really enjoyed was Bag of Bones. Although Everything's Eventual had some high points.

    My older brother recommended it to me, and since then my two other brothers have read it and also loved it. I heard they're making it into a movie with Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana as Claire and Henry, have you heard anything about that?

    As for my avatar, I think it's a hamster on it's back! I found the picture online a few years ago and think it's hilarious! I use it every chance I get. I know, I'm weird haha
    I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.

    I think it's cute.

    I'm reading JAS at home and listening to Twighlight in my car. My daughter bought it for me for Christmas.

    I read the Twilight series last month. It's a super easy read but a pretty average story.
    I like
    Spoiler:
    vampires and werewolves
    so I read them.

    I currently am reading DT3 and I finished The Road on Wednesday. I'm listening to The Talisman.

    Now that's the same problem I have. I've really been wanting to read The Road since it came out, but then I started hearing everyone's stories about how hard it can be to read his books that I keep pushing it to the back of my to-read pile.

    I liked if feve. It certainly takes some getting used to the writing style but it was pretty good. Good enough that I want to check out another novel by McCarthy anyways.

    I like the author's vision of her "monsters." It is better that some other authors that have written in that genre.

    How is the narrator Matt? I listened to a preview on Audible of her but I wasn't sure I'd be able to get used to her voice.

    I intend to keep going. After the movie I'm curious to see what inspired it all--and where it went afterward....
    When I started reading the Golden Compass (the frist time, before I knew a movie was coming) I didn't realize it was part of a 3 part story. I got to the end of the book and it said "End of Book 1" here, I thought it was going to get somewhere when I was wrapping the book up and all I could think was...this little girl better hurry up she sure has a lot to do in...20 pages. I didn't have any idea The Golden Compass was part of a series because the book had found it's way to me through a garage sale or friend or something. And that title was much more well known to me than the rest, and I wasn't even firmilliar with "His Dark Materials" so...yeah! alas I had 2 more books to go. Keep reading, they do get a lot more interesting!

    I think they chose her because she sounds like an emo 17 year old girl.

    It's been okay for me but I am already used to her, she read on another book I listened to.

    As far as young girl romance stories, I'd put Twilight higher than Pride and Prejudice.

    Monts, you should read Code 61 by Donald Harstad, awesome vampire book - totally original take on it

    Either that or you could listen to the audio of me reading you the riot act if you outbid me on Lisey's Story again

    I'm RIGHT AT THE END of 'The Last Watch' by Sergei Lukyanenko. They are easily my favourite non-King books of all time. The films didn't do the books justice to be honest. I love the little comedic elements to the novels, like Anton will have just killed a Higher Vampire and then come out with some witty little remark or his boss will give him some silly little assignment. Plus the fight scenes kick ass

    I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

    Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
