The 'what To Read Next?' Thread

[blunthead]

OK so it was on the old board, and bound to come back here at some point, can start it up again by asking for oppinions?

I have just finished the dark tower series (minus WTTKH) and I'm looking for my next book, I kind of whittled it down to Cell, Firestarter and Joyland. I would rather have a quick start (I know Cell starts pretty quick), I seem to be drawn to and touched by young characters like Ellie in Pet Sematary, the Losers, Dinah in the Langoliers, Trisha from Tom Gordon etc (I know firestarter has Charlie), and I don't want an overly long book (I know joyland is short). Any suggestions? My fave 3 are IT, 11/22/63 and The Stand if that helps.

And of course, anyone else looking for help with this age old question, feel free to ask here.

I just finished Keyhole, and since yer still in Mid-World mindset, and since Keyhole's relatively short, I say consider reading that one. It's wonderful.

Thanks blunt, since I wrote that post I have read joyland and Dr sleep. I started firestarter recently but I'm only a few pages in. I do still have a few dark tower embers glowing, I probably always will. I'll probably read keyhole next, or I might even start that and go back to firestarter, either way they will be my next 2, followed by desperation, regulators and the talisman - in no particular order.

Depends on time, place & purpose.

At this time of year, I've got the post-Chanukah blues (no disrespect to 25th December intended), so Lee Child's Jack Reacher books do the business nicely.
Thrills, spills & characters you can really get behind.

If there's a film you love & it was based a novel, find the novel - always be prepared for surprises though, good & bad.

And, of course, if there's an SK you haven't read yet, read that or reread that SK you last read 10 years ago. . .
