I agree with you completely. I was trying to think when the last time I read Interview was and I think I was in 8th grade, so that's closer to 35 years since the first and last time I read it. Too young to appreciate the lovely writing and pacing in this book, apparently. The last one I really enjoyed was Q of the D. I muscled through Body Thief and tried to get through Armand but didn't make it. After Q of the D, she was more into the gay erotica. Nothing wrong with that it's just not interesting to me because she let the stories slide into...well, you said it best: pulp.

Started a book for review today that I'm enjoying very much! Wonderful writing, properly salty protagonist, no schmaltz. This one is a last minute thing--just got the book today and the review is due the 16--so I'm glad it's an entertaining book

Too much schmaltz and I get all ver clempt. I need more schmaltz like I need a loch in kop. I could PLOTZ already.
I set McCammon's, Stinger aside and started Insomnia. I was messing around in the Insomnia thread and got a hankering to read it again I couldn't resist. I'm glad I did. I'm loving it more every time I read it. Ralph is a bit of a hero to me. I started reading it Saturday and I'm about a third of the way through. I'll pick up Stinger again as soon as I finish.
I'm beginning to wonder what's happening to the alien riddled town in the McCammon story. If I could read two books at once I would. I just can't. I hear tell that there are people who do.
I can read a non-fiction and a fiction, but not two of the same kind. I wonder what that's about. I wonder if I should care LOL.

A lot of books about Kindle publishing. Polishing up my word book....
I'm reading Jane Rochester by Kimberly A. Bennett. It's a "dirty" sequel to Jane Eyre. You can tell it's written by a modern writer and should probably be called "Fifty Shades of Jane". The typos and the weird translation makes it really strange but despite all this I'm like a deer caught in the headlights. I must finish it now, I'm so bad at abandoning books.
You're very welcome!Thanks! That's a great site
I just realized I watched the movie a few months ago. I liked the movie. It was different than most of the movies that are just variations of the same ol' same ol'

#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
Glad I bought this book!
Not a big fan of the vampire books but I had heard this one was a keeper
I sometimes confuse what I'm reading with tv shows I'm watching lol. I loved that show Defiance on Syfy and I had to keep reminding myself that its characters were NOT characters in whatever I was currently reading.
Ralph is my favorite good-guy hero too
He's actually the only SK hero I would trust with my life. If I were in danger and had to throw a rope to any of SK's characters in order to save myself, I would trust Ralph to catch the rope. I think I'll reread Insomnia too 
Lol,I hate when that happens! It seems like a trend now.Dang it! I finished that book I was reading last night and discovered it's the first book of five in a series. I liked it ok but not well enough to read four more books to find out how it ends
If any of y'all have read the Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer, will you pretty please let me know how it ends?
The one by Anne Rivers Siddons.I didnt know there was a movie.I will have to check it out and see if it matches the book.
I used to feel that way too, so I get it. I think now that I'm getting to be of a certain age, I feel more like I'm wasting my time reading a book I'm not enjoying. I'm thinking it's a so many stories, so little time, sort of thing.
I loved that book, and think Atropos is one of Mr. King's creepiest characters--to me, maybe worse than Pennywise.I sometimes confuse what I'm reading with tv shows I'm watching lol.

Publishers like series. They figure it's auto-sales if the first one is any good. I'm not a huge fan of them, myself.
Yeah, I know, but a bit of trash only makes me appreciate the good books even more. Besides, it was a short one and I'm nearly done.
Has anyone here read Jude Devereaux?
