I, too, didn't connect with any of the characters in the book(s). It was weird reading it after seeing, and enjoying, the movie.

There is an older retired couple here in Spokane that refuse to leave their house that they have lived in for 50 years. The city wants to finish building a North/South freeway to connect to I-90. The other houses that are in the path of this freeway have been demolished. It's weird to see this house all by itself in that area.
He's not friggin Saul Bellow.
JDM's first editions were all in PB and probably would not cost that much.
Widow's Point (novella) - Richard & Billy Chizmar
This is a haunted house (or lighthouse in this case) story told using found audio and video footage. Even though that synopsis sounds like something you've probably read before, this story is riveting and a real page turner. You can get this in e-book format or there may still be a few physical copies on the Cemetery Dance site (not sure if it's sold out or not).

Have the ebook-- could not stop reading. Enjoyed the change of writing via the audio/ video. Highly recommend.
I started listing to Ready player one. Dang that book makes me feel old
I was reading through the old posts and see that I called Bev Vincent, Ben.
Sorry about that Bev. BTW, I really enjoyed that interview with Mike Flanagan. Also, I finished the stories and the last story Patchwork Things may be my favorite (Systems is right there too).

He interviewed six people 85 years old or older and was surprised to find they were much happier than people expected them to be.
"An extraordinary look at what it means to grow old and a heartening guide to well-being, Happiness Is a Choice You Make weaves together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the "oldest old"-- those eighty-five and up."
Update Kurben and skimom2:
Finished Beartown by Fredrik Backman. It was pretty good. Much darker than A Man Called Ove and very interesting character development. It's about a small town where hockey is about all they have going for them and how they interact when something bad happens that threatens to topple the town. I would recommend it.

I finished reading Final Girls by Riley Sager a couple days ago. I thought it was a decent thriller. It got rave reviews, so I was honestly expecting more. Still worth a read, though.
I read Cycle of the Werewolf yesterday. Really cool novella that was enhanced by Bernie Wrightson's illustrations. Man, that guy was a great artist.
Starting The Terror by Dan Simmons tonight.

I've made a start on end of watch, I hope there is more of bill and holly in this one than finders keepers.

There definitely is. I thought it was pretty good.
I've been reading Star Wars Lords of the Sith all day earlier today. Book is pretty good
Bernie was in a class by himself. He was a true Artist. His illustrations for Frankenstein are unmatched by any one. Truly magnificent!
Halfway through another re-read of IT during the day. Chose Small Gods (Discworld) for before bed reading.

It's just so rereadable isn't it? I think I've read it and 11.22.63 3 or 4 times each.
