What Are You Reading?

[FlakeNoir]

Reread The Green mile. Hadn't really planned to but i picked it up and then it wouldn't let me go. Really godd story. Isn't it strange the way many King stories have to sink their teeth in you as they were some kind of vampires and refuse to let go until you have finished reading the book. Really ruthless they are, they absolutely suck you dry. Other authors it is much easier to take a break in the reading.

I re-read this one at the beginning of the year... wonderful. In the last couple of months I have finished re-reading Rose Madder which I took a short break from to read Revival.
I've now gone back to The Regulators and am enjoying it more than I did when I first picked it up. I think that my 'reading (for pleasure) dry spell' might actually be over, I really hope so--because I have missed it a great deal.

Yeah, Rose Madder... That is one a probably should give a second chance. The other is Insomnia. For some reason when i first red them they didn't capture at all. A long time ago. Like a vampire without teeth they felt like. But they probably deserve a second chance.

I loved Insomnia and struggled through Rose Madder (the first time) for various reasons. The re-read was somewhat easier, probably because I have matured.

I've just finished The Ritual by Adam Nevill. Pretty good, so I'm planning on reading some more of his work.

I'm now deciding what to read next. It's between Insomnia by some guy by the name of King, The Whisperer in Darkness by Lovecraft or A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving (recommended by someone here).

Decision, decisions.

Owen Meany - You won't regret it.

Just finished Dean Koontz's Brother Odd. I think it beat the original Odd Thomas book for me. The humor felt much more natural than in Forever Odd. Loved the setting, characters, everything. Couldn't put it down for the last 150 pages.

I'm starting Odd Hours now.

I struggled through the first half of Insomnia, but then I was completely hooked!

I read the first four books in that series-should really start up again. I thought they were fun!

I like to alternate between re-reading one of Steve's books (almost finished Insomnia again) plus the new ones when they come out and something by Dean Koontz, James Herbert (RIP) or John Saul - maybe another Herbert next before Revival

 

[AchtungBaby]

I have The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft, The Great God Pan, The Bell Jar, Gillian Flynn's works, Tabitha King's Pearl, and the rest of Peter Straub's works that I haven't gotten to yet on my current TBR list. It's going to be a great few months.

 

[Tooly]

Straub is one of those you either love or hate. Some of his I've read multiple times.

I've read all his books, and except for Dark Matter, enjoyed them.

I found Herbert rather uninspiring after Ghosts of Sleath. Everything before though, good stuff!

After years of reading Anne Rice and having a love/hate/like relationship with her, I decided to try a book by her son, Christopher Rice. I am currently reading his latest, The Vines. So far it's OK. Nothing great. It's a southern gothic, so that appealed to me, but his writing is pretty mediocre.

THANK YOU, I have always been under thrilled by Mr. Rice's offerings.

Herbert did release a few duds, but all in all, I quite like his style. The pace is usually good and his stories are very easy to read and not too taxing on the old grey matter.

Insomnia and Rose Madder are two of my favorites. Not typical SK books at all and I love them for that.

I really don't want to finish this book, it's that dull; but I always stick with books. So I'm trudging through.

I have started a reread of TGWLTG now when i have it in english. It is more powerful in original language, The tension is turned on another notch. It is a little different but really it is what i heard him call one of his "innies". He said he wrote Outers, with a lot of characters and Innies with just a few. This is, with perhaps the exception of Geralds Game, the inniest of the Innies.

Kurben, you may have just coined a new term for us!!

Tonight I finished Black House. I liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to. I actually like that it is as different from The Talisman as it is while still being a well-told story. Black House was the one sK novel I feared might succeed in disappointing me. I've been so pleased that that hasn't been the case.
