What Are You Reading?

[HollyGolightly]

My reading has gotten bunged up again. I WILL endeavour to clear that up as there is so much new stuff out at the moment. King, Irving, Galbraith, Kellermans (father and son), the list goes on.....

Irving has something new? I must google!
Oh mercy, that sounds good.

Except when I hear the name Juan Diego I always think of:


And this is new too:

OK, I'll quit playing with images, but I do love Irving and Allende too. It's an exciting season for us book nerds, eh?

When i was in the store to buy my copy i first did not see it. Then i saw that it had a totally different cover. Not as good, i thought, as the one shown here. It looked like this. I've seen better covers.....

I won't get to start in on The Bazaar of Bad Dreams until Christmas. Just like last year with Revival, my wife is giving me a copy as a gift. I've been told I'm hard to buy for, so I had to have something on my list. I don't like the waiting, but I know she enjoys giving them to me as gifts.

I have a funny feeling that if I do not get my copy soon, my hubby will ask me what book I want for Christmas.

Not sure if I can wait that long - December 25th is a long way off!

@all you guys mentioning the introduction to Bazzaar... I really need to find this book, I want to read that!

Flake,
It's just two sentences at the end of a very short introduction.
It will remind you what life's all about.
How can he convey so much in so few words?
It really is amazing.

I am really looking forward to reading that... he is one of a kind.

Please let me know what you think of F & F.

I am a little over 200 pages in, and I just don't know what I've got here!

Been reading newspaper articles mostly. So many good writing among the media. A lot of horrible ones too but...

 

[urrutiap]

also currently Im reading the big paperback collection of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.

I'm not sure I can wait that long either. All these comments are making it even tougher!

About halfway through Dean Koontz's Velocity. Great thriller so far!

Also started a reread of Harry Potter.

I know I have that book somewhere but haven't read it yet. I remember the yellow cover.

It's a great pedal-to-the-metal story. No awkward humor or dogs, which means it's a great Koontz novel!

Bought The Bazaar of Bad Dreams on Saturday and read all the introductions to the stories. Also bought William Goldman's The Princess Bride which was sitting on the shelf almost next to King's book. Never read it. Looks good. I saw the movie. I liked how King used to give blood and got good price because he has a rare blood type.

The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies. The book is even better because you get a lot of backstory that is not in the movie. Enjoy!

I don't have BoBD yet. It may be a Christmas gift.

I just finished a book called Something must be done about Prince Edward County by Kristin Green. It's about a Virginia community that closed it's public schools and opened an all-white private academy after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling for desegregation. The author is going to be at our book club on Wed night and her grandparents were supporters, which she struggled with. I am really looking forward to this discussion.

Just finished "From a Buick ." Wasn't too crazy about it. Now on to "Rose Madder."

 

[Grant87]

Finished The Dead Zone on Saturday. I'd been in a reading slump for a couple weeks and hadn't picked it up at all. A bit different from his other novels of the 70's, but I really liked it. It was much deeper emotionally than I ever expected. Getting ready to start Firestarter next.

 

[Kurben]

Started a little reread of World War Z by Max Brooks.

 

[EMARX]

I finished The Wine of Angels, by Phil Rickman. It's the first of the Merrily Watkins mysteries. It's a cool mix of murder, supernatural elements, and humour. And there are plenty more in the series.

Bound By Water, for review. Meh so far, but at least it's short. Then I can go back to Double Feature.
