    Well...

    ...damn! I got diagnosed with COPD ( Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ). If that is not awesome, I don`t know what is. :( Besides the obvious one, that I have to quit smoking, anyone got some advice on this? Of course, I hope that none of you have it, but if you do, can you share your...

    Harlan Coben

    Any fans here? The first book I ever read by him, years ago, Tell no One, is still in my top five mystery/thriller books of all time. Kinda like Se7en for the movies, unforgettable, you go back to it every so often to relive the magic. Love his Myron Bolitair series, even though it kinda gets...

    Everybody needs a mother...

    Today marks the date when I went back to the old country, two years ago, to visit my sick mother. Before that, I haven`t seen her for nine years, a friggin lifetime. And I wouldn`t have made it without you. Somewhere around that time, Pat in the Hat started a gofundme campaign here ( or somebody...

    Michael Koryta

    Highly recommend, read this guy, folks, if you haven`t, SK calls him a master. Also, John Hart is phenomenal.

    Ummmm....mods, a little help, please?

    Why does it say I don`t have sufficient privileges to post in the Hot Topics section? Any section there, any thread, I don`t have the option to comment, reply or post a new thread. Why is that? I wanted to comment on the Vegas topic, but no option to comment for me there and then I checked the...

    Funny Stories

    The World has been pretty depressing in the last few days and although we are all used to ( IF you can get used to something like this ) bad news and mayhem lately, sometimes there is a breaking point, a person can take only so much. And it seems like I am at that point. So, if you have time...

    Unexpected feeling of happiness....

    I don`t exactly know how to put this in words, but I`ll try: Sometimes, I get a feeling of total happiness and of being in deep peace with everything. There is no special reason for it, nothing changed since yesterday, no raise, no presents, nothing at all...and yet, out of nowhere, happiness...

    Which SK books are true horror?

    Sometimes I wonder why Steve is hailed as the best horror writer there is...or that he is labeled a horror writer at all. If it is horror, then it`s horror that actually can and does happen in real life ( abusive husbands, so, Rose Madder or Dolores, sociopaths on power trips, that would be Dead...

    Discussing the book... Spoilers

    I don`t see an actual thread here for the book, or maybe I`m blind. If some other thread in here is for the book discussion, then feel free to delete this one. So, anyone started it yet? First impressions? I am 80 pages in, a lot of stuff already happened, but it is way to early to tell...

    Grudges

    I mean simple grudges, you know, a fight, a misunderstanding, a little fall-out, nothing big and life changing... Do you hold them at all, or for a very long time or forever? I don`t, I get upset and angry pretty fast, but after five minutes, I`m OK again. It is very easy for me to forgive a...

    Soundtracks for SK movies and others?

    Man, the soundtrack for IT is awesome. When they first showed the kids in school, the background music was The Cult and their song " Love Removal Machine " from their epic album "Electric" and I almost started real headbanging in the theater, but had to stop myself, I didn`t want anyone to think...

    Best Birthday Present?

    Today is Sai King`s birthday ( Happy BD one more time, Sir! ), so it got me thinking about BD presents. Just a few days ago it was my daughter`s 9th birthday ( 9th, that`s right, friends and neighbors, I still remember like it was yesterday when I posted a picture of her here, just a few hours...

    SK blurbs

    When I see a blurb by SK on a book, regardless of who the author is and what genre, I`m not even checking what the book is about, I`m buying it, period. And because of that, my TBR pile is sky-high, `cause he seems to like a lot of authors...and maybe sometimes he also tries to boost their...

    Valentine`s Day confusion...

    Well, I`m confused. This Valentine`s Day thing ( for which I don`t care at all, I love my wife every day, not only on certain dates and I try to make her feel special every chance I get )...since when did it become a "thing" or a "special' day for children? I mean, yesterday my daughter came...

    Beating Alcohol...

    I don`t think I`m an alcoholic. I never-ever drank a beer or had a glass of wine with lunch in my whole life. I don`t really like the taste of alcohol, any alcohol, I just like to be drunk once in a while. I actually don`t drink at all - unless I wan`t to get hammered out of my mind. Like as...

    Happiness...

    It doesn`t happen too often, but sometimes, like tonight, I am completely happy and at peace with myself. No, there is no special reason for it ( apart from, of course, the usual - my wife and kid are healthy and good ), it`s just the same old life, all the bills still need to be paid, I`m more...

    Life

    In any case, from time to time it`s difficult and sad... Yet... this is a beautiful life. Maybe just a dream, but still a nice one. Who are we, what are we? Dust to dust and earth to earth ... and still all this is given to us to see, feel, live. Some have less time than others, but as it has...

    Bob Dylan wins the Nobel Prize?

    Well, wow This has nothing to do with SK...and it has everything to do with SK. I mean, kudos to Dylan, I`m not exactly a fan but he is not bad either...but THE NOBEL PRIZE??? I don`t understand this. And Uncle Steve can`t even get a Pulitzer?... Besides...who says that Bob wrote he best lyrics...

    A little something about John D.

    Hello, my friends. :) Hope you are all well and that life is treating you gently. Over on FB, we are having a little, annual short story contest, nothing fancy, just for fun and it`s named in John`s honor. So, for people who don`t know who he is, I wrote a short introduction and thought maybe...

    Fragments of life atm....

    Sleep was shi**y. Too many worries about my little daughter who has pneumonia, and all the stuff that comes with it. Fever, pain, puking..you name it. Tried to get to sleep, after she finally found some, with a little help from Tool. Somewhat helped. Went to visit my psychiatrist, blasting the...
