Have you started it yet? i got mine at a library book sale ($1) but haven't started it. I think I want to wait until I reread The Passage.

Hi John! No, haven't started it as of yet. It's in my TBR pile, along with about ten other books. So little time.......
Just got in the mail Song Of Kali by Dan Simmons that I ordered from thriftbooks.com. It's an ex-library with the usual markings, but not in bad shape. Gonna have to do a re-read soon!
Found an almost-new paperback of Rose Madder at Goodwill today for $1.99! 
I have visited Hickory, NC and I am from the UK!

I scored nothing at the Goodwill bookstore today. I think I will stop by the library shop. Sometimes they have interesting stuff.
Really? Wow that's awesome!! Do you remember any stores or businesses you visited, or any certain sites in particular?
Got a beautiful unread hardback 1st printing of Justin Cronin's first novel 'Mary And O'Neil' today from thriftbooks.com!! It really is in stunning condition!
I posted this in the SK-related purchases thread too, but definitely worth repeating!
Thrifting today, I snagged The Green Mile in paperback and a hardcover of Black House (75% off!) both in good condition for $2.25 including tax!

Woot! Great find! I'm looking for Doctor Sleep and Wind Through the Keyhole - used, of course.I posted this in the SK-related purchases thread too, but definitely worth repeating!

Scored these today at a Goodwill, had to drive over 45 minutes but I got them for 5 bucks so it seemed worth it to me! Wasn't sure if I had any of them or not so I just bought every King book I could find LOL.

All I got was the Christine hardcover I mentioned in another post - I have one at home but this one had a dust jacket and was only 1 dollar. They reorganized their books and it was totally messed up! (They had Danielle Steel in the "Horror" section)
I went to the Goodwill today. But all they had was Duma Key and I already have it. So no score today.
Posted in SK-related thread, but once again-worth repeating!
After work today I quickly stopped at a thrift store. Found first-print paperbacks of Misery, Pet Sematary and Different Seasons (not in very good condition, but still!) and a first edition hardcover of From A Buick 8 in very good condition. All books were a dollar a piece-so SCORE!!

Yes, but it's been awhile! I remember it wasn't one of my favorites, but I still liked it. I didn't own it, so I'm extremely excited! I'm really slogging along on my rereads. Going in order of publication and have been on 'Salem's Lot for way too long. But in my defense, I couldn't find my copy for about a month!

How is your cover to Pet Semetary???? I noticed mine is all to heck, almost seeming like it rotted on me while sitting on the shelf.. I've ran across a few of those 1st prints of PS recently and every one of them either have a missing cover or it's tore all to heck. Kind of weird, anyone ever noticed this or is it probably just coincidence?
