400 pages into Sleeping Beauties. Gotta be honest, I’m not loving it.
I loved The Alienist. Great read!I'm on the last story of Eudora Welty's The Golden Apples and I'm sad to leave this world. The architecture of this book weaves together seven unique stories that astonishingly connect denizens of a Mississippi town with a single thread of intrigue. What could have been a myopic and sentimental book in the hands of a lesser writer is, instead, a very satisfying read.
After watching The Roosevelts again last night on PBS, I decided to find some books about the young Teddy Roosevelt. Since I've been reading books published in the early 20th century (My Ántonia, The Secret Garden, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and The Virginian), I chose the e-book Bill Sewell's Story of T.R. which details Teddy's and Bill's forming friendship amidst the backdrop of the Maine Wilderness and which was published in 1919. Also, if I needed another reason to read The Alienist, I've found it: it features Theodore Roosevelt helping a detective find a NYC serial killer.
One of my favorites too! Have you read the sequel, Angel of Darkness? It's not quite as good ( that would be hard to do), but I liked it.I loved The Alienist. Great read!
Ditto to what you said. I didn't read anything he wrote after that.One of my favorites too! Have you read the sequel, Angel of Darkness? It's not quite as good ( that would be hard to do), but I liked it.

Are you 'listing' to port?I am listing to The Women in White by Wilkie Collins
Think I'll start Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk tonight. I can't read my copy of Sleeping Beauties (like half of the SKMB is doing right now) because it's signed so have to wait to pick up another copy later.
That is what you have to deal with when you got a signed book.Think I'll start Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk tonight. I can't read my copy of Sleeping Beauties (like half of the SKMB is doing right now) because it's signed so have to wait to pick up another copy later.
sorry I know my spelling bad. will try to be more carefulAre you 'listing' to port?
I've read signed copies of my books before as I am very, very careful with them (no eating Cheetos while reading them!!!) but this book is so big that I don't want to even crack the spine.That is what you have to deal with when you got a signed book.
It's all good! Just giving you some good natured teasing. Feel free to give it right back to me.sorry I know my spelling bad. will try to be more careful
Technically I didn't get a signed one- my bestie bought two tickets for the Missoula event and she told me that if she got a signed copy and I didn't that she would give me the signed one. She's not into horror and I don't think she's ever read a King book so it wouldn't be a big loss to her. Well, she got TWO signed copies with her tickets! So, I gave her my unsigned copy and she gave me one of her signed copies. That's what besties do, right? She said she's going to read the unsigned one. We'll see....You have a signed copy of Sleeping Beauties? Wow, that is awesome man. I mean, I hate you for that, but seriously, that is so cool. I have a signed Clive Barker and my dream is to have a signed King book.
With just alittle icing on top.It's all good! Just giving you some good natured teasing. Feel free to give it right back to me.
