Just finished Rose Madder last night, and I forget how much I love that story until I read it again. I'm thinking of re-reading Desperation before The Regulators gets here in the mail.

The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Did you like desperation? When I read it I felt it was OK, not great, maybe a bit too filled out. It felt like it was dragging on towards the end. I tried to read the Regulators straight after it but yet more of these characters, even though they're different, was just too much. I never finished it.
I did! I haven't read it or the Regulators in awhile, but I
thought Tak was a pretty awesome villain. Also, if you've read A Wind Through the Keyhole, a very Tak-like something is mentioned. Then you have the little gods, (little foul gods), that are like the opposite of Jake's turtle. Some good stuff in there. Then you start getting into psyche, and it's...crazy. hee hee! And you gotta admit, the cop is uber creepy!
I had the same experience. Never finished it.

Now reading : Catacomb - Roux
I SWEAR that Asylum series disappoint me so much, i'm just trying to finish the third book and i will nto buy the prequel and the novellas, i've wasted enough time and my money for this horrible series, altho there are some interesting characters, they really ended up getting killed
Read One Second After in one day. Thanks for the rec, ghost19 ! It was a pretty darn good apocalypse. I like things that ring true, and aside from Forstchen using too many proper names in dialogue (people almost NEVER say the names of others in natural speech unless they are trying to get attention or clarify who they are talking to) and the poorly written romance, it really did that for me. It rang true, and was very pragmatic for the most part. Made me go to bed with a cry headache last night, too--lol. I tried to read the sequel first, because it became available from the library first, but couldn't get into it. I might try again now that I have the background work done.
Finished my Rose Madder reread a few nights ago. Started Change of Heart by Picoult. This is only the second book by her that I've read. One thing is consistent so far - she gets to the "main event/tragedy" in the first few pages.
Glad you liked it ma'am. I'm still in a reading funk so I haven't gotten around to reading the sequel, I didn't know there was one until you mentioned in your original post but it's on my very large TBR pile.
I thought the thing with the main character's daughter being diabetic if I remember correctly was done pretty well. That's one of those things that would definitely come into play if the proverbial ****e hit the fan, unavailability of insulin due to no refrigeration. That was a pretty sad part of the novel I thought.
Exactly! So few books are realistic about medical issues. Even fewer are realistic about how people act in an emergency, or they make the protagonist a saint who would never DREAM of doing the things you'd actually have to do to survive a catastrophe like the one in the book.
Shoot a looter? Yep, you might have to. Eat something you'd rather not? Yep. Strong arm someone to stay alive? Absolutely.
Humans in general are panicky animals, especially when the lights go out and the water stops flowing from the tap. That was the cool thing about One Second After. I thought the author did a good job on that aspect of the book. Did you say the sequel wasn't quite as good?
Still stuck reading The Shining, unfortunately. But, I did begin to skim through Max Erlich's The Reincarnation of Peter Proud.
I used to be a Koontz fan and then wasn't but I love this series!! Have fun.I'm going on vacation for a week starting on Saturday, so I downloaded a bunch of stuff from the Library including....

Finally finished Freedom of the Mask by McCammon. I was a lot distracted and had trouble concentrating but then was able to buckle down and enjoy! It ended
