Please do! It's really paranoid, wonky, and off-kilter, but that's why I love it. I think it very accurately shows what King's mind-frame was at the time.
I admit that the concept of the story really intrigues me. I think I'd probably enjoy it more than most King fans.
Smucking? Isn't that from Lisey's Story?
It is and you're the first to notice that. I use that a lot!

Hi, Kurben. I would start with A Prayer For Owen Meany.
I just finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Ending was worth the wait. Now I am starting Needful Things.
Happy Friday!!

Did you know that a 'new' story by Steinbeck has been found and is being published (today, supposedly)? From what I've read, it was one he wrote way back in '44 or '45 and it was read on Orson Wells very popular radio show and then just disappeared somehow and was 'lost' in some magazine's files and was just recently discovered. It is the story of a black man in the army. OK, just looked it up. It's called 'With Your Wings' and will be in The Strand magazine!!!!My second favorite author
Readin "The thief of Always" by Clive Barker. Fun and crazy
Started Angels And Demons by Dan Brown two days ago. He sure doesn't put much time into developing his characters like King does. Good story so far, tho.
I did not know that! I'll certainly try to read it
I'm an Irving virgin, too and I've just ordered a copy of this based on your recommendation.
It sounds pretty good.
Be aware: religion plays a HUGE part in this story, if that bothers you. Like I said, it's in my top 3 books ever, but I know you've mentioned that religious content bores you. If so, you may prefer one of the other books between Garp and The Fourth Hand. JSYK

I don't mind overtly religious stories if they are well written and interesting. I like the sound of this book, so I'm really looking forward to reading it.
Reading "The Andromeda Strain" by Michael Crichton. Hadn't read this one in quite a while. Very good book. I've never read anything else from Crichton. Anyone here a fan of M.C.? Any recommendations?
