I was 'doing my business' this morning and grabbed the wife's conditioner bottle because I could reach it. It wasn't that good a read.
Same here. I started it last night - I am looking forward to the weekend when I can truly read it, without work interfering. I thought of taking it with me, it started out that good.
I would not have been able to put it down, and need to keep my job.
Started and finished. Hang in there, it's worth it!
I just finished a re-read of Heart-Shaped Box. Considering revisiting Horns. I enjoyed that the first time and loved the movie. Also have Double Whammy by Hiaasen in my hands.
...been there and done that....and that...
Finished reading The Terror last night, which was incredible. Next up is The Outsider.
I started The Oustsider the day it was released but just can't seem to get the time to sit down and lose myself in it. Too d*mn many other things from life keep popping up and taking my time!!!
I'm slowly but steadily going through all the books I can get my hands on. I donated my entire collection of Stephen King books to a bookstore in 2001 but recently decided I should catch up quite a bit. I've reread some favorites and given a chance to established classics. Currently I'm reading Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption in Different Seasons. Once I feel "caught up" I intend to experience Clive Barker's work.
It will be there waiting when you are ready. It can sit for so long - But you know the words are calling to you.
I've picked it up and had a hard time putting it down. I'm not ready to get that deep yet. It's that good. Already upset and attached to the characters.
Agreed! I got my copy on Sunday and it's been really hard to put down. Waiting for lunch so I can sneak another few pages!!
I had to take a sleeping pill just to be able to put the Outsider down on sunday evening. I had to sleep or i would have been the brother of the Wreck of The Hesperus. But its good! No doubt about it. I'm 300 pages in and i want to go on and on.
I must say that I don't know whats going on yet. But man, I am taking my time with this one.
I've finished it and I have to say, it's a whole new type of crime fiction. Very hard to put down, so I left it down until I could really sink in. Great characters. But hold on to your hats my friends.
Agghh!! I can't wait!! I am about half through and would be reading it now if it weren't for stupid work! I should've taken a mental health day today!!
While it would be good for your mental health, sometimes delayed gratification can be a good thing.Agghh!! I can't wait!! I am about half through and would be reading it now if it weren't for stupid work! I should've taken a mental health day today!!
Just call me Veruca Salt! I want it now!!
...I am really diggin’ this one!!!...character development is quintessential King as is the plotting....
I know the feeling especially when it comes to Stephen King books.
Lee Child left a good Comment about this Book.
Is it like a Jack Reacher Book ?
Osanafrank, Not like a Jack Reacher book but different than his usual stories.
