Morgan, you did a great job in VL's absence. I'm thinking a Friday night was just a tough sell. VL did a great job too and I hope it will come back and thrive. It was a great idea and still is.

(((Morgan))) You're a wonderful book discussion leader. I enjoyed the chats about The Langoliers and Secret Window, Secret Garden tremendously. Even though I hadn't read Secret Window and had only seen the movie, you made the discussion fun
I think attendance for the longer stories has been slight because its easier to interrupt whatever you're currently reading to read a shorter story y'know?
I'm not reading anything else but I'm still only halfway finished with The Library Policeman and like a forth of the way through The Sun Dog cause my brain quit working after getting the flu and my comprehension levels are like nil
BUT my brain is on the mend and I would be horribly disappointed if we never got to discuss Sun Dog so please don't give up on us. 
Maybe after a couple weeks, everyone who wants to discuss Sun Dog will have had a chance to finish it and we can discuss the entire story
Morgan you have done fine at this. Iam still the #1 lurker. I hope to see Vulture back as well. I do hope things are going well for her. I usually don't discuss to many things.But I love to read the discussions you all have.
Hey Morgan! You have done such a great job! It has been increasingly hard for me to make it on Fridays between having other commitments and just having a hard time with the time change. I get up around 5am each morning, and by Friday 9:30 I am sometimes just too beat. But hopefully after a few weeks I will be able to make it again.
I hope that VL is doing ok. I am keeping her and her family in my prayers.

This is lovely!
I am glad that his books were there for you - I find coming here (to the SKMB in general) has helped me in the past - especially recently like in the winter of December 2013 - February 2014.
Let's hope VL makes it back eventually!
You did a wonderful job, morgan, really, you did. 
I have no excuses for my lack of attendance, I am just a complete brat with homework.

Are there anymore discussions in the works I think it sounds fun and I missed out 
Hi Snake9785,Are there anymore discussions in the works I think it sounds fun and I missed out
Not sure if people would like to do this again or not.. I kinda would, but with a new series, like the New Finders Keepers coming out in May, or with The Baazar of Bad Dreams, in November. Is anyone else game?
Count me in. I started out in the original discussion group, but life got in the way. I'm (more) free now.
A Finders Keepers discussion sounds ace.
I'll be getting finders keepers Tuesday. I'd be up for discussion.
VL, please count me in as well! Look forward to it!
Hi Guys... Morgan, you did a wonderful job leading the discussions while I was away.
I miss this reading and discussion group. If there is interest, I'd be willing to discuss some of Sai Kings stories. I'm currently listening to The Wind In The Keyhole.
I need to order the new book of short stories. When would the group like to begin?

I'm really glad you are here again. If we start i try to join as often as i can (the time difference you know)
I think it'll be to complicated to start finder's keeper's this week. Most people will be getting the book this week and probably won't have it finished by Friday, so the participants will have to be constantly dodging spoilers. I'm sure I won't have it finished by Friday, I've started working a second job in the evenings which eats into my R&R time. With that said, I don't really have a suggestion for a good book or story to focus on.
Snake, I hear you. I work two and a half jobs, finding 'down time' is interesting at best. Maybe we could switch the meeting day from Friday evening to Sunday evening?
Would Sunday evenings be more conducive to the group? They work better for me, but I will defer to what works best for the most people.
Agree about Finders Keepers and this Friday. Ordered a copy from a small book shop, hopefully it will come this week. Perhaps we could discuss it a chapter at a time, I am game if others are.
For the next few weeks, why don't we discuss Mr. Mercedes? Let's say the first thirty pages this week, thirty one through sixty two next and in a few months we'll have read all of Mr Mercedes. Then we can read Finders Keepers in the same way to give everyone time to read and digest.

I'm all for it. What time where you thinking of?
Sunday evenings are great for me. I won't be reading along with you guys since I have other books I'm wanting to read after Finders Keepers, but I read Mercedes a year ago and still remember a good deal. Can't wait to start!
Perhaps 8:30 Eastern Standard? I know we (constant readers) are in every time zone. If you can't make it, you could check in before or after?

Sunday sounds good to me. I finished Mr. Mercedes maybe a month ago so I should remember enough. Sunday would probably be fine for me. 8:30 should be fine. Also where will the discussion take place, like on the forum somewhere or a chat room, etc?
