No I haven't yet and this is my first time reading it.Have you read it before? Did you see the miniseries?
I enjoyed The Devil In The White City! It's a good book.Finished The Boy on the Bridge (very interesting!) and started The Devil in the White City
Love The Long Walk! And I think Roadwork is pretty underrated.I read the following samples on my Kindle and hope to order the books in a few weeks. All three are outstanding.
Cutting For Stone- Abraham Verghese
Humboldt's Gift- Saul Bellow
The Ponder Heart- Eudora Welty
I'm still reading Remembrances of Things Past by Marcel Proust.
I'm rereading The Long Walk and Roadwork.
Yeah, I had forgotten what a striking opening paragraph that was in The Long Walk. Throughout the book there is a stomach-churning realism.Love The Long Walk! And I think Roadwork is pretty underrated.
What I found interesting about Roadwork is how little it was talked about, even among King fans. It's not his best, by any means, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.Yeah, I had forgotten what a striking opening paragraph that was in The Long Walk. Throughout the book there is a stomach-churning realism.
And yes, Roadwork is underrated, even by King himself in the 'Why I Was Bachman' section. Maybe he holds it in higher esteem these days, I don't know.
I hope you check in with your progress as you read Christine.
And I'll be sure to check in during my read of Christine. I'm excited to get back to some vintage King.
