Started Wuthering Heights. Fancied a tale of heartbreak, depression and the darker sides of love. (That, plus I've had that fucking Kate Bush song in my head and it's made me curious about what the story's actually like.) I hope this one delivers as promised.

Started Duma Key. Never read it but have heard positive things about it.

Frederik Pohl & C.M. Kornbluth - The Space Merchants

[Stebbins]

I'm on page 84, and loving it.

I think it's so serendipitous that I have recently got in to Donald Westlake's (who's alter ego is Richard Stark) work, and this book is dedicated to the man. I also think King kind of adapted his style to be more Westlake-like because of this. The prose is so pretty. Finally (concerning this vein), I believe that Mr. Easterbrook is a nod to Westlake, too (remove the -er and you East and brook).

The story, so far, is so well told and stitched together so tightly, I believe it could crack my top 5 of King books.

I think you're onto something.

Also, Subie: let us know what you think of Duma Key, it is also high up-- currently number 3, I believe-- on my list of King works.

Just wanted to add another Westlake connection I found in Joyland, since I just came across it:

Spoiler:

Donald Westlake died on New Year's Eve; Easterbrook dies New Year's Day

Good detective work.

I'm not speeding throught it since I've been jumping between it and The Walking Dead graphic novels.

I just read the A face In The Crowd ebook.

I recently received a copy of The Dome, so I think I'll start that before the TV series starts. I somehow failed to read it before.

Next up is Afterlife or Joyland.

I finished The Boys From Brazil by Ira Levin and am going to start The Mammoth Book of the Best of Best New Horror. I was able to find a paperback brand new for $3. Now I don't have to risk damaging my S/L copy.
