Ummmm....... Hi?

[Jackal.S.Rogue]

Name's Jackal. Don't really like introducing myself but anyway... I like reading Stephen King books though I tend to stick to the novellas since I'm not patient enough to read one of the really long novels (keep thinking about reading IT but it's over 1000 pages) I watch every movie adaption I can find, even own a few Dreamcatcher, Tommyknockers, The Langoliers. I also like writing and drawing and being a smart *ss and that's about as interesting as I get. If you're still reading you're more patient then I am,

Welcome!

Being a smartass is a prerequisite for a lot of threads on these boards. You may just fit in nicely!

You really should read "IT", you won't be sorry just spellbound.

Welcome to the SKMB! When I refer to myself as a smartass I'm half right. I encourage you not to assume you can't finish one of the longer novels.

.....ummmmm, zzzzzzzzzzz.......

The longer books always intimidated me as a kid. I had "The Stand" and "IT" sitting on the shelves for years before I finally cracked them open.

Welcome to the board! Try audiobooks. Maybe that would help your problem in reading long books.

 

[doowopgirl]

Welcome. I think your introduction was just right. Short and to the point.

Welcome to the Board Mate. Yes, some of Sai King's books are real door stoppers. I enjoy all his work. Short storey collection is great as well; (Skeleton Crew/Night Shift/Everything Eventual/Full Dark, No Stars/Just after Sun Set). Read a storey, put book down and go do something. Come back to read another storey between business. I do the same with thick books, read a chapter and wander off before coming back for another chapter.

That's what my ex said on our honeymoon. And on our third date, come to think of it.

Welcome to the board

When I was younger I wouldn't have approached a book of any type the size of IT or UTD, or any number of sK's. I had too much nervous energy; also, I've wondered that I don't have a bit of some kind of attention deficit disorder (though I admit to a tendency to self-diagnose as well as -medicate), since I find myself rereading sentences/paragraphs to be sure I get what I'm reading.

I go back over things like that as well. It was worse when I was in school, before exams I would go over everything multiple times and keep wondering if there was something I missed. I can't really complain about the results, I did graduate, but I ask myself those same kinds of questions about why I second guess everything.
