Dont know..... but it helps to sleep badly in periods. Books are a great friend then. And then i dont have the charming duties called children and/or spouse to distract me. I think that might have something to do with it.Kurben, if someone paid me a dollar for every book you read I could probably quit my full time job. Lord, you read a lot of books! How do you find the time?
Finished Starbeast today by Heinlein.
Yes, that one is a keeper. It reminds me of my favorite types of SK stories/novels.I'm currently reading The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. My favorite story so far is Ur
I'm enjoying the book so far. I just started Blockade Billy, which I had read when the limited edition hardcover came out. I did not like it at all then, but I am enjoying it now on a second read. I must admit I did not like The Bone Church at all. I'm not a poetry fan to begin with and this one seemed so pretentiously bad. Did I miss something?
I think not. King is great at many things but not at writing poems in my opinion.
Take advantage of all the time you have, Kurben. Time has its way of evening things out.
I'm really into reading this one now and I love it!!!!!
A great set of stories. I loved, loved, it!
Just finished Wind Through the Keyhole as part of my Tower re-read. (Which I really really enjoyed)
I am reading a different book in between each Tower novel and have started False Memory by Koontz after a strong recommendation from my mother! Only about 50 or so pages in, but so far pretty good

Mr. Splitfoot (Samantha Hunt). Okay so far. She has some interesting turns of phrase, but BOY does she hate Mormons! I know nothing about her, but around here that generally means someone who was raised in the faith (or one of the weird offshoots) and is now bitterly divorced. Makes it hard to appreciate the story when you're wondering/worried about the author (I had the same problem with Revival, to be honest).
To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee (first time)
You're in for a treat. One of my absolute favorites.
Just about finished with Mr. Splitfoot. Weird, not terribly scary (though it's billed as horror), a little over the top with the Mormon thing. It was all right. I can't decide whether to go on to the next review book or take my break and hit it again in early January (This one is due on Jan 4, but the next two aren't due for a couple of weeks after that).
Anyone read something OUTSTANDING lately?

The collection Night at the Fiestas, by Kirsten Valdez Quade. I'm halfway through and with each story my brows raise in astonishment. I'm starting to resemble those people that have bad plastic surgery.
Finally got his "book on writing "
Enjoying as usual ⛄️

Where did you get that cute snowman? I know how to do this: ☺ and this: ♥ but not how to make a snowman!
Has anyone read this Feast of Fear: conversations with Stephen King? Is it any good. (I can't remember if I've ever read it. and I certainly didn't have a copy of it, but I do now!)
That's ringing a very faint bell, like I read it YEARS ago. How old is it?
Not sure?Where did you get that cute snowman? I know how to do this: ☺ and this: ♥ but not how to make a snowman!

I liked it a lot. It may answer some questions for you about Steve.
After finishing two shortstory collections (The Green Hills of Earth and The Menace from Earth by Heinlein) i have started a timetravel novel by Farmer. Times Last Gift. A team of researchers go back to 12000 bc to study the Magdalenien culture (the one that made the cave paintings across europe) in its later phases. They are there to study them but their subjects are human too so they cant help but in different way to help, interfere, influence and connect to these people. And, of course since it is Farmer, he has managed to get a kind of Tarzan figure in the book. He really had a thing about him....
