I'm pretty sure I read up to and including Seeds of Yesterday.

You know, I think Stephen hates these books. Lol! I may be wrong but I think I remember somewhere reading he wasn't a fan.
I agree with Mr. King - I tried to read the first one when I was 23 and I had to put it down - I just found it ridiculous (Just my opinion) :m_dizzy:

Can't recall exactly what it was - I think it was a series of improbable events that occurred at the beginning that threw me off - it was just too unbelievable for me.

Indeed he is not a fan. Check out this video:

That was SO good! A video from 82/83? (He says he is 35 in it). It was funny to see so many of the guys on the panel smoking on camera.

I must admit I fast forwarded to the parts where Stephen King is speaking (good thing he wore white). The end was perfect - I hope he never loses that great sense of humour - thanks so much for posting this.

I thought at first it was a white suit a la John Travolta and Grease etc. but that was in the 70s, not the 80s...

Anyway - the teeth were different, the glasses, his hair was so dark back then - he did have a certain boyish charm to him :eyebrow:

Right now I am not reading anything (to get back to the thread topic). I held off on starting "Revival" and still haven't started it yet - that is my next big read :smile:

Read When the Tripods Came by John Christopher. A prequel to his Tripodtrilogy that he wrote about 20 years earlier.
Did you finish reading Boy's Life Kurben? (I might have missed you speaking of this. I haven't finished it yet, shamefully, my reading has come to a standstill. Not at all a reflection on the story.)

I just bought In the night Room by Peter Straub. I also bought The fellowship of the Hand by Edward D Hoch. I'm in the library now, and I had to wait thirty minutes for a computer, so I read the first chapter of The Story of AC/DC: Let There Be Rock by Susan Masino. When I come back in a few days I'll read the next chapter.

No it is still ongoing, really like it but it has been real crazy lately with catching up in work and moms apartment and everything so i took a break. I want to be able to really sink into it.
