I sit corrected. That's about as good as my memory gets. At least I hit Shakespeare!I think Hamlet.

The ebook is free on Amazon.I'm reading 'A Tale of Two Cities'. I've been on a Dickens jag for a while now. Just finished 'David Copperfield'. He reminds me of King in how his characters are drawn and how they interface with each other. A heckuva good story teller. I may read 'A Christmas Carol' in time for Christmas, if I'm lucky.

Thought of you while reading Loaded, GNTLGNT. Would love to know how you feel about this one.....Strange Weather......I had read the first piece in it's earlier incarnation.....now most of the way through Loaded.....Joe is a force in his own write, errr, right....
....I'll let you know when I finish up.....it's been a damn fine story so far.....Thought of you while reading Loaded, GNTLGNT. Would love to know how you feel about this one.
The North and South trilogy ebooks are $3.99 at Amazon today. This is not an opinion, but an actual fact.Any opinions on John Jakes?? I've read his North and south trilogy (in swedish translation) many years ago remember liking the first very much but thinking that it started to slow down somewhere in the second part. I've decided to give them a reread in original language. How are his Kent chronicles? What is it? Good? Other Books? Any opinion appreciated.
Thanks, Danie, for the tip!!!! Got it and i also got the first three books in the Kent Chronicles by the same man for the same price. Have always wondered if they were something to try. Now i have the first three books for 4 bucks. Thats a bargain.The North and South trilogy ebooks are $3.99 at Amazon today. This is not an opinion, but an actual fact.

...final opinion?....very good story....it could easily serve as an "anti-gun" treatise, but I never felt Joe was approaching the novella from that standpoint....many things within the tale could serve as metaphors for "Loaded"....Thought of you while reading Loaded, GNTLGNT. Would love to know how you feel about this one.
I really enjoyed Skipping Christmas. It shows Grisham's humorous side, which you don't see too often in his legal thrillers (although the character Lucien, the alcoholic silent partner of Jake, who appears in A Time To Kill and the sequel Sycamore Row adds touches of humor). I never did see the movie version of Skipping Christmas.I am reading “skipping Christmas “ by join Grisham. My first Grisham book. I just started it. The movie Christmas wiht the cranks is based of this book. I like to read Christmas books this time of year. After I read this one I may start joe hills book Nos4r2. It has a Christmas theme. Then after this I may read the Bennie babies bubble. About the cpbennie babie craze of the 1990’s
I enjoyed a long delayed re reading of Firestarter myself. I remembered very little of the story, had written it off as crap and was very surprised.Approaching the end of my Firestarter re-read (about 170 pages to go) and I'm enjoying it even more than I expected. Had been so long since I first read it that I forgot quite a bit.
Next on the list will be Lisey's Story as I haven't read that before and I'm eager to see what I think.
