Insomnia it is! Thanks everyone!
Started Abandon by Blake Crouch. Started promising. 12 chapters in so far. Thanks for the tip!
David baldacci, just finished the camel club which is the 1st book in a series of 5. I'm half way done with book 2, the collectors. I'm totally hooked and I'm sure I will have the other 3 read by end of month. The characters are his best work.
My sis-in-law just found a 1st printing hardback of Doig's 2nd novel at Goodwill yesterday.
If I remember correctly, Steve sued to have his name taken off of the theater posters and commercials for this movie as it doesn't have anything to do with his story other than the use of the character names.
I was thinking of making that same recommendation for you myself. Although book three is the furthest I've made it in that series as well. I read Insomnia years ago and enjoyed the ever loving heck out of it.Insomnia is essentially a dark Tower novel. I'd go with that one...
I'm just now realizing I only saved a draft of this last night. The decision has been made since then! Good.
Now on a reread of Memoirs of An Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks.
This is one of those fantasy books where I lost myself in the narrator's world, but in this case, the narrator is the imaginary friend of a boy with special needs.
It's an emotional read for me, but I'm curious as to what other "regular" parents (and people who aren't parents) think of the story.

I put this on hold at the library! Sounds like a good one.Just created a new thread for I Let You Go
Now, I'm going to look for Abandon, which has also peaked my interest.
Last week, I re-read Needful Things, and this weekend, I decided to go back and re-read The Dark Half. It's been a while for both.
OK, I'll put this one on my TBR pile, too!
Have you read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime? It's main character is a young boy with Asperger's. It's a good read.
OK, I'll put this one on my TBR pile, too!
I just added it to my wishlist, thanks for the recommendation
I loved Fevre Dream!! Have his latest on my reserve list in library. He can put words together quite nicely.I finished Sacrament by Barker yesterday and am now making steady progress through Fevre Dream by George R R Martin.
Really really different to his Song of Fire and Ice series! So far, so good
I am always on the lookout for a new Baldacci!

I loved that book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.
About a third of the way through Abandon . Also started After Doomsday by Paul Anderson. Starts off with the Earth getting destroyed and then Explores what the people who survived, the people that happened to be on space missions, reacts when they realize they are now the only few hundred remaining of the human race. Not bad so far.
I recently finished Mostly Harmless from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, also read The Island of Dr. Moreau, and I'm currently reading The Stand Uncut. I'm about half way through it pretty good so far.
I liked Fevre Dream quite a bitI finished Sacrament by Barker yesterday and am now making steady progress through Fevre Dream by George R R Martin.

I must be part Borg. I tend to comply with the collective. I started Abandon yesterday lol.
I'm reading The Straw Men by Michael Marshall
About a third of the way through and liking it so far
