Four words for me: Justin Cronin. The Passage. --- To each their own but for me the only writer that could pull that stunt and keep me reading is Stephen King. :)
Re reading 11/22/63. I loved the show, and it really got to me at the end, like the book did the first time but even more. Stayed with me ever since Monday morning and I feel like I have PTSD for Jake and Sadie lol. Figured it was a great time for a re read, with faces to put on the characters...
This brings to mind a chapter in The Tommyknockers.. The power plant man lol. Wasn't the guys name Ted? I enjoyed it myself, even if it did go on and on and on lol. I love his pacing though. Always comes across as so natural and unplanned, for me he is no doubt the greatest storyteller of all...
Wow thank you for posting that!! I had no idea SK wrote it, good stuff!! As for the series, and the finale. WOW. That finale blew me away and has stuck with me all day long nonstop just like the book did. Perfectly done! Bittersweet & heartbreaking but so poignant at the same time. I've enjoyed...
Finishing up a re read of Lisey's Story before I start The Passage. So glad I decided to read Bag of Bones and Lisey's back to back. This is one of my favorite books of all time. Two things right off I really love about books like this.. When King talks about writers. You always wonder how much...
Thank you not_nadine, I missed that thread completely. I do the same with new hardbacks. I usually buy 2, one to read and one to never open. I just bought 3 mass market pbs of 11/22/63. Don't ask me why. I saw them in K Mart and couldn't help it lol. I usually buy 2 of everything new though...
How do you all go about reading & keeping your books in as good of shape as possible? I collect both hardbacks and paperbacks, but I prefer reading paperbacks when I can. My collecting has gotten a bit obsessive so I have multiple copies of most books.. I usually try and read the worst copy of a...
I'll be at the one in Charleston, WV. Can not wait! I nearly passed out from shock when I heard the news lol. Once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I wouldn't miss it for the world. My birthday is in June, so this is like the birthday present of ALL birthday presents this year. When the news...
Absolutely. That book has stayed with me ever since reading it last year, and I have been dying to re read it for awhile now but I wanted to watch the series first. I think it'll be even better next time around. I have never started a book and felt so amazed so quickly. King was at the very top...
Yes it is a trilogy. There are 2 books out already, The Passage and The Twelve. The 3rd and final called City Of Mirrors comes out in May. Late May I believe. I would assume they would need to be read in order but I haven't even started yet. The Twelve doesn't seem to be a huge favorite though...
I'm a bit stuck at the moment lol. Just finished Bag Of Bones & i'm not sure whether I want to re read Lisey's Story next or start The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin so I can be caught up for the 3rd releasing in May. Decisions, decisions! I would like to experience re reading Lisey's right...
The Revenant. Loved every second of it!! Already watched it over a couple times. My favorite movie since No Country For Old Men. Pure excellence in my opinion!!!
Reading Dark Tower Book 7 ( my first journey ) and going to start Sharon Tate A Life by Ed Sanders as soon as it gets here today!! Over the break I finished NOS4A2 ( loved it ) and read Ashley Bell by Koontz.... Which I also LOVED! Excellent work in my opinion, the best work by Koontz I have...
Gotta go with Needful Things. I've read that one countless times over the years and enjoy it just as much every time. There's just something about it that I love. Really smooth writing too. I've always found it creepy and eerie myself. I have a ton of copies of that book too and I like reading a...
I have a bunch of books signed by Joe Hill, Robert Mccammon, Abraham Bolden ( one of JFKs secret service guys) a few true crime books signed. I noticed at Books A Million awhile back while looking for a copy of Natchez Burning by Greg Iles ( King recommendation ) they had some copies signed by...
I really enjoyed this one, have only read it once though and that was last year. I have one book left on my first Dark Tower journey and I've taken a break from it to try and make it last a bit longer lol. I remember tons from The Talisman but somehow don't remember much from this one. So I'm...
I loved every minute of this one, and I'm a 24 year old single guy with no experience in true love and marriage lol. It just clicked for me from page one and I really enjoyed every bit of it.
Wasn't a purchase, but I won a personalized/signed copy of the new Stephen King Companion along with a signed art piece from Chadbourne in a SK group on Facebook. We had to write a post explaining why we wanted to win and a mod picked 5 of us. Then sent our responses to George to read. Was very...
