I was going to get this one from the new selections at our library but I passed it over (online) so I may go order it and put myself on the waiting list.A biography, Steve McQueen, The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon, by Marshall Terrill. Man, what a ride. And I always thought Steve was just a regular guy.
'Salem's Lot.
Have you read THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE yet? Positively the best thing I've read this year (cry pardon to Mr. King, but I can't lie about books). I edit for writers, and there is absolutely nothing I would or could suggest changing about that book.
I read it three times in one weekend, and cried at the beginning (that birthday party!) and the end all three times . It was just a beautifully written, fabulous book.I did and loved it! I actually cried when I got to the end because I didn't want it to finish. Why did it have to be so short? I will definitely read this book again.
Glad to see other people enjoyed it to.
Ok Ur all done....what to read next I wonder?
You won't have to be into politics (of any kind) to love this story.No, actually I havent and its one I always look at and think "eeer...sigh....Kennedy...American politics....ugh" (no offense...I bet ya'll arent too into Kiwi Politics either!) but maybe I should tick it off the list, you think?
Extra sweet for me too. First time read. After reading 100 pages of the Lot and reading The Shining last Sep., it's amazing how much different King's earlier writing is. His earlier works are truly horror, where his newest are closer to mainstream fiction.'Salem's Lot.

Been years since I read Weaveworld. My question is how can it be badly researched if it's a fantasy novel, one that is made up by the author? I'm not criticizing you, just curious about your opinion. I thought it was a pretty good book, but I also don't read alot of fantasy or sci-fi either.I haven't been able to read him since Weaveworld. So, so badly researched, & unbelievable characters.
