    Your favorite SK scene type?

    So I am revisiting the Kingverse in The Stand, and it came to me over the weekend that one of the many, many many reasons I keep returning to his “long tale of dark Christianity” are certain scenes. The unraveling of American society is one, of course, and then I realized how much I enjoy the...

    So, who is re-reading?

    The Stand seems a shoe-in for reading material during this extraordinary time, doesn't it? The last time I read it was a couple of years ago, and that was the original 1978 version, which I'd sought out with some difficulty in my library's statewide system. But now the libraries are shut down...

    Would anyone like to settle a debate?

    Over the holidays one of the SK FB groups I'm a part of had a bit of a controversy when someone remarked that sai King does not, in fact, like to be called "sai" King. That he's actually gone on record as stating this. I've never seen such a remark from him and know that "sai" is a term of...

    Nora Roberts..."Year One"

This is the first book by her I have ever read...the library I work in has a large selection of her works and I'm curious about "high output" authors.

    The wheel of ka in real life...

    On this American holiday (wish you all the joy of it), I thought I would share a rather surprising realization that struck me today, as I am enjoying a return to the DT books. One of my other "online gigs" is as a moderator for a website that monitors the threat of nuclear war in the world. We...

    Time for a re-read, I think.

    I can't recall how many years it's been since I read this one, but I was just ambling among my shelves and it caught my eye. No particular reason, but I remember how very powerful the paranoia in the storyline was. It's been too long since I've enjoyed that...time to dive back in!

    It's on my nightstand! I'm so excited!

    My copy of Revival is waiting for me on my nightstand. It arrived yesterday from the SFBC, and I took the liberty of "peeking" through the first few pages... ...and saw the Lovecraft quote! Now I know I'm gonna be in for a hell of a ride! Wheeee!!! ;-D

    Life imitating art!

    And not in a very pleasant way. I had to re-read this article to make sure it wasn't a gag of some kind: Exclusive: Controversial US scientist creates deadly new flu strain for pandemic research - Science - News - The Independent Bring out your dead!
