    It took three re-reads.

    It gets better with every read. I just finished it for the 5th (6th?) time. It's like comfort food.

    Stephen Kings tattoo project

    I obviously love the man's work, and have wanted a King related tattoo. After years of contemplation I have finally come up with an idea that I love. I want a stack of SK books on my left leg that goes from my ankle bone up to my knee bone. I have a tattoo there I want covered. The original...

    Jonathan Maberry

    The newest Joe Ledger book "Code Zero" came out, and it's probably the best of the series. His last two Ledger books were good, but this one cranks it back up. Here is the series for those interested: 1. Patient Zero 2. Dragon Factory 3. King Of Plagues 4. Assassin's Code 5. Extinction...

    Reread This Recently...

    Dreamcatcer is top 10 for me. I consumed this one on Audible, and loved the narrator (DeMunn i think) I loved the Derry parts, and I loved the humor. I'll forever be 14 when it comes to fart jokes. I loved the boy's "secret language." because my friends and I had our own. I guess I "got" the...

    For those of you that haven't read the DT, or quit on The Gunslinger...

    Hi all, I'm sad to report I have hit a bump in the road. I got through the "Gunslinger," BLASTED through "Drawing" and "Wastelands" and now... I can't get out of the first 100 pages of "Wiz & Glass." I've stopped and restarted 3 times. I really want to finish this book & this series, but I...

    How the Haven series needs to end

    I was a fan of the Colorado Kid, even though I hadn't read the DT series, and didn't understand some of it. (Starbucks in 1982?) I LOVE the show (flaws, plot holes, wonky writing & all) and understand it's "based" off of the CK short. Besides the guy on the beach & the brothers not a lot is...

    Mr. Mercedes "Ka-Tet"

    I'm gonna post this here, because it fits. I'll throw my review at the bottom for validity. I am 3 books into reading the Dark Tower for the first time. it's been a SLOW PROCESS! I'm not loving it, but I'm pressing forward because some of it has been enlightening. The idea of KA & KA-Tet has...

    How Many Writers At This Party?

    crawling out... I wrote a zombie novel called "Sawkill" & self published it on Amazon. It has been downloaded over 9,000 times in 10 countries. I recently packaged it with some related short stories & called it: "Sawkill Omnibus." My plan is to keep adding to the stories, but not charge more...

    On my 4th time reading Duma, and I just realized...

    I "cast" every book I read in my head, and I'm usually disappointed with the actual casting if/when they do make the movie. The only recent casting I LOVED was "Savages." I though they nailed that one. for Duma I have the following in my head: Edgar: Gil Grissom Wireman: Bruce Campbell I'm...

    On my 4th time reading Duma, and I just realized...

    Elizabeth Eastlake isn't black. For some reason I always assumed she was black while reading this. I caught the "black help" line this time around. It doesn't change the (amazing) story any for me, but I was a bit surprised. I guess I had Abby in my head while reading :)

    Just discovered HAVEN (Spoilers)

    SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED SEASON 4 I loved the door in the middle of the field. Data-chee data-chum As I have not finished the Dark Tower series yet (I'm on book 3) Is the barn a link to the tower? Is the barn THE TOWER? I have to get more of the books under my belt, but that...

Additional books are WAY cheaper than itunes, etc. The usually sell 3 credits for $33 or $11 per book. I have over 50 books in my library. It's how I "read" 90% of my books. Right...

    Jonathan Maberry

    People that know me & know my obsession with King ask me who my second favorite author is. I never really had one until I discovered Jonathan Maberry. I read his "Patient Zero" first & was hooked. His Joe Ledger series is great, especially the audio books read by Ray Porter. (six books so far)...

    Tell Us About Your "first Time"

    August 1991. I was 14. We were on vacation on Cape Cod, MA. My family went to the Cape for vacation every year. This particular year I was not so happy to go. The cottages we usually stayed at had been abandoned by their owner, and let go to ruin. I had made friends with some of the families...

    Pretty Great,huh?

    I always thought "The Stand" would be my favorite King book, but I've listened to this on audio 4 times now. Each time it seems to get better. The first chapter of this book is BY FAR the single best chapter he has ever written. I haven't read The Stand in 3 years or so (It was an annual thing...
