No, then i had to bump myself too..... It was just a way to keep the thread relatively high. Since some started to create a thread for every book he read all other threads sink under the horizon which make it easier to forget them. Earlier they just posted in what have you been reading thread. If you see what i mean....?Are you trying to tell me to hurry up with Swan Song?
I'm planning to get back to Swan song soon, then perhaps Mine.....
I'm glad to hear that... you must be feeling a little better.
I do. I have know, at least, the urge to read again. That usually means that i'll start anyday now....I'm glad to hear that... you must be feeling a little better.
Not yet. I've been stuck in the middle for a few weeks. Life has been too busy for reading.
I just passed the halfway mark last night. I'm not 'feeling' this book at all. McCammon's using a different diction in this one- there's been a few times I've had to go back a re-read a sentence (one of them I had to do it four times!) before it made sense to me. It's strange.......
Yep, finished reading The Border a couple weeks ago and am now reading Finders Keepers.
So far, I like Going South. McCammon is building characters like he did in Boy's Life, and I far prefer that to narrative driven books like They Thirst (not that I didn't like that one, but I prefer character driven stories). I was a little worried, because I burned out on Vietnam-referential books a while ago. He's kept it in check here, though, or at least let it drive action rather than introspection.
I have. Loved it. Gave it 5 stars on my blog.
I liked it a lot. Like reading Swan, Ushers Passing and Boy's Life it left certain images in my mind. I guess kind of like the setting mixed with the personalities. There were certainly many scenes of blood and gore, but the positive aspects were what stayed with me.
I've been on a Mccammon-break but have started Swan Song again. Are just past page 400 and not even halfway. It is good but lacks, so far, the magic that inhibited Boys Life. From what i've read so far it is his absolutely best book.
I took a chance on "Stinger" and that is a good one. Not quite finished but very entertaining. It's basically "The Man Who Fell to Earth" meets "The Thing" meets "Under the Dome" meets "Tremors" meets "West Side Story."
Never heard of it. It definitely sounds worth checking out. Thanks for the heads up. mal.
McCammon has some awful and outdated book covers. Nice to see them being done right in some of the reissues. Here is the one for Stinger:
