What are you reading right now?????
Hi Prescott Fry, The SKMB Reading and Discussion Club is working its way through Nightmares and Dreamscapes book. Each Friday, we meet in the written works thread, N&D, with todays date. This Fridays selection is You Know they Got A Hell of a Band.

But if you are referring to Donald Millers creative writing study group, we are reading A Rose for Emily and Silas Marner.

Ok - 9:30 on the dot - am I in the right room.... 'First aid and resuscitation ' ...Damn!

That's the problem with book clubs, the signs on the doors always fall off and get stuck on the wrong door . I'll probably end up discussing the plot line of 'fifty shades of grey' with the janitor in the broom closet!

I tried to read From a Buick 8 but just cannot get into it. For me it's not as gritty or immediate as Christine, and I don't find the characters as real or likeable. Just saying. Love Christine though, that one is a ripper of a classic. Vintage King, and worth re reading several times over!!

Thanks Sheemiee, maybe I will go back to it. I grew up with the older books and I just find the newer ones have a different style. Guess that's the norm for most writers/artists, etc.!
