Strangely enough, I've just ordered a copy of his autobiography.
Hitch is enjoying a bit of a renaissance in my house at the moment.
Oh, dang. I've never seen this shot--I love it. Classy.I love this shot!
Like I said in the newb section, I'm reading Revival. Just finished Prince Lestat, which I think is the best in the Vampire Chronicles since The Vampire Lestat.
Also reading Save Yourself by Kelly Braffet, which has the most compelling first chapter I've encountered in quite some time, and The Casquette Girls by Alys Arden. Juggle juggle juggle.
Read it ASAP! You won't regret it.
Reading This River Awakens by Steven Erikson. (Not a Malazan story)
Reading "the man from Constantinople" by Jose Rodrigues dos Santos.
Trust me when I say this: it will be the shortest long book you've ever read!
The Stand just flew by for me, I read it in two days. It's an easy read because of it's tendency to fascinate.
This. I'm always shocked when I reach the end--it flies by.
My favorite (and safest) one
I finished a YA book about Typhoid Mary (Deadly) today (my daughter has been bugging me to read it for a while) and started The Redeemer (Jo Nesbo). Deadly was pretty darned good! I enjoyed Anthony Bourdain's NF book about her, and this one was good, solid historical fiction. I'm going to have to put off The Redeemer until I read the first two books in the series--I got through the first five chapters, but backstory kept spoiling plot points of the first books, therefore I'll just wait until I can check out the first books . Now I'm sorting through the TBR pile for something new.
Hey, that reminds me: would anyone in the US be interested in a HB copy of Night Shift (bookclub edition, dust jacket), Dead Zone (book club, no jacket) or TWTTK? I got a new copy of TWTTK yesterday, so I have an extra. Very good condition, dust jacket, ex-library copy. No charge--I just would like to see them go to good homes

I think something happened to my NightShift. Maybe me. Lol. I would have to do some research though.
I buying Revival tomorrow, currently I'm reading some stories from Pulp Fiction: The Dames, edited by Otto Penzler.
I've started a reread of Tommyknockers. Have only read it in swedish and was not impressed but figured i owed the english version a shot. So far it is better than i remembered but we'll see. Still... It sure could have needed another editing. Some words and sentences just seems unnecessary. Might be just me though... But i read in an interview somewhere that it wasn't king's fave either.
I think The Tommyknockers plain embarrasses ole Stevie. Me? It's one of my personal faves.
Tommyknockers is truly the ugly duckling of King's books. Sigh....
Good question--don't remember ever hearing that asked before and don't know the answer so would have to ask and get back to you.
I love this shot!
I'm pretty sure that was taken in Dallas at the Book Repository.
