Got my copy of Blue World by Robert McCammon in the mail today. Read it years ago when it was first published. The Subterranean Press edition has three new stories in it, so I'll start with those!
Dana, you need to post in this thread!
Greetings! | The StephenKing.com Message Board
Yep, the movie comes out in September...right around the corner. The previews look good. I'm really enjoying the book, it's a good read.
Was rather tired yesterday so started an easy read. An oldie. Where Eagles Dare by Alistair MacLean. It is not exactly the best book but it was what the occasion called for.
Missed this one when it was new but picked up a copy of Eat Pray Love at the thrift store and has been on my TBR pile for a while. Needed a change of pace after the last few books and curious as to how it compares to the movie. It's bringing back memories of my trip to Italy and wishing I could go back again.
I read Eat, Pray. Love back to back with Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh (Charles Lindbergh's wife). They are great companion pieces, so much so that I bought them both for my mom that year for Mother's Day. Enjoy!
I get so far behind in this thread, sometimes it's too hard to catch up. Sigh!
I am starting Girl on a Train this week, then per many suggestions on here, I have to narrow down my next few. Happy reading all!

Thanks--I'll check that one out!
I just finished 'Head Full of Ghosts'.
I have a question for anyone else who's read it...
I have a question for anyone else who's read it...
Was it ever revealed what the metal object was that Marjorie threw on the night of the exorcism? Was it the jar with the powder?
Finished "A Head Full of Ghosts" last night. Solid book all the way thru. Good read, definitely.
I was really into it...do you happen to know the answer to my question above?
I can't say that I know the answer. Trying to remember....
I don't know that the answer was ever revealed, it just seemed important at the time, in that scene.
Definitely. Whole plot line just kept you off balance. I'm still not 100% sure what happened...
The Duplicated Man by James Blish and Robert Lowdnes
Peter Pan 
I realized the last time I was in the library that I've never read Barrie's original story, just the Disney version. So LilMan and I are reading it together, a couple of chapters a night. It's very funny! Some of the jokes go right over Nick's head, but I've laughed quite a few times. Peter is a much different character than presented by Disney, and so is Tink.

Shirley Jackson responding to criticism . . .
Side note . . .I can't prove this is the real deal, but either way I think it's cool.

Quarry's Vote (aka Primary Target) - Max Allan Collins
Back to my favorite anti-hero, Quarry. This book was published in 1987 after a 10 year layoff of the Quarry series. After this, there was nearly a 20 year layoff until the next one when Hard Case Crime published the old books and sparked a renewed interest in Quarry. I discovered this series through the Hard Case Crime books. I'm glad that Stephen King published a couple of Hard Case Crime books because it led to me exploring the other Hard Case Crime books and I have discovered many excellent books from this publisher.
