I have never been a big fan of short stories, I prefer a good chunky novel myself.I think these are some of the best short stories I've ever read. Or maybe I'm just in the right mood for them. But they are all positively perfect. Am I the only short story fanatic on here? I just can't get enough.
After that great review, I'm going to be on the lookout for The Book Thief MadBoJangles .
Really hope you like The Book Thief
Digging some killer Jim Starlin comics from the 70s and 80s. Found a buncha his stuff in the fifty cents box at the Geekshop. Captain Marvel was a trip. And his Dreadstar stuff is incredible--got the first fifteen issues dirt cheap. Thems good funny books.
IF I can get through In the Night Room (which so far feels very disjointed), I'll give these a try! Thanks!
Danie- did you change your hair color?
Must be the lighting then. It looks different to me. Still sexy!!
Dim lighting is best here. : )
Reading a Marvel Two-In-One special edition with Thing, Spidey, the Avengers, Captain Marvel and Warlock vs Thanos. Jim Starlin classic from '77. At one point we see Ben Grimm reading Salem's Lot! Cool beans.
I read a lot of mangas .....I am reading right now Overlord part 4..went from manga to 283 pages...and hardcover...still good plus few other mangas....has for audio book not sure...either be IT or the Lady in white for the next one
Reread Mr. Mercedes so it was fresh in my head for watching the show.
Now am reading Mystery Walk by McCammon.

I have been in this terrible reading black hole. I just have not been able to pick up and finish a book in months. MONTHS!
So, I got a book that I knew would draw me along. It's nonfiction and fun.
GIANT OF THE SENATE -- By Al Franken.
Not only is this book smart and witty, it really shows what someone who cares about the country thinks about the game of politics and how hard he works to try to get things done. He takes this job very seriously, but, he can still keep his integrity and humor too. And, it shows how these senators who just totally oppose everything about the other side can respectfully fight, vote for and against things, and come out at the end of the day not making it personal. Oh, I'm sure some do, but real grown up adults don't. We can all take a lesson from that.
I really recommend this. It's about politics, but it is also about the human condition, with some wicked smart humor thrown in.

How is it so far? I've considered adding it to my list.
....I just finished a read of the Blue Air Compressor, out of an old copy of Heavy Metal magazine.....it was.......odd.....felt to me like something King wrote when he was still an addict....
I am enjoying it!
I have Mystery Walk, Baal and Bethany's Sin all still to read sat on my bookshelf.
Yet to read a McCammon that I didn't enjoy, even the Night Boat had a cheesey goodness to it
