Damn, you're devouring the dark tower books, didn't you only finish the gunslinger a few weeks ago? We all know the feeling, once it grips you it's a strong hold. Did you read wind through the keyhole as book 4.5 or save it? If you saved it for book 8 then that's the perfect way to ease yourself out of them.I am, I love it. I actually think I will have withdrawal symptoms when I have finished them though!

I do read fairly quickly, especially when they are so good I can't put it down! I do the same with TV series, I may have a slightly addictive personality...
I'm saving it for book 8
Let me know what you think when done! I really enjoyed this one.I am reading Eyes of the Dragon with my daughter. Not her first Stephen King book, she picked The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon for her first one.
And on the kindle, I am reading Lamb, The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
I am enjoying it! Has made me laugh out loud several times.Let me know what you think when done! I really enjoyed this one.
Is your daughter enjoying her first SK books?
I finished The Gunslinger and Moved onto The Drawing of the Three this morning and was instantly reminded how much better this series gets. Parts of The Gunslinger move so slowly that it is sort of a miracle I stuck it out the first time around but holy hell it is worth it. The Drawing of the Three is all action right from the get-go. I forgot how much I love this airplane sequence (and it is just as nail-biting the second time through).I've decided to start listening to the Dark Tower Series on audio book. I read all the books as they came out (with the exception of the Gunslinger which I was a few years late to) so it has been a while and I'm hoping this refresher will help me finally make it through Wind Through the Keyhole (which until now has failed to keep my attention).
Started The Stuarts by John Miller. An Oxford history professor. He's a bit on the dry side but full of facts not just of the persons, James I, Charles I, Charles II, James II, William III and Mary II and finally Queen Anne. Since Cromwell is in the middle of all that he is handled in chapter called Interregnum. hes also sees a bigger picture. What they managed to do. In the book i recently read about the Tudors i was disappointed in the treatment of Elisabeth because it focused solely on her being blindly in love with Robert Dudley and her problems with succession but she ruled for 45 years and did have policys she instigated on many other areas which wasn't mentioned. Surprising considering that she(the author) did not fall into that trap with her father andd Grandfather (Henry VII and VIII). This book has already said more things about Elisabeth in the first chapter, Inheritance, than that book did.
....is this the Algernon Blackwood novel Doc?.....if so, he's well worth reading more of.....his stories have a tasty buffet of creep factor in them....."The Wendigo" is longer than I thought. It's around 81 pages. As I'm reading, I'm getting hints of Pet Sematary and Deliverance. It's scary, already, and nothing supernatural has occurred. Has anyone here read this story?
I'm going to look for more stories by this writer.
"Stories of lost hunters rose persistently before his memory. The passion and mystery of homeless and wandering men, seduced by the beauty of great forests, swept his soul in a way too vivid to be quite pleasant. He wondered vaguely whether it was the mood of his companion that invited the unwelcome suggestion with such persistence."
I guess it's a novella; my Kindle says it is 81 pages. I think he did write a couple novels, though.....is this the Algernon Blackwood novel Doc?.....if so, he's well worth reading more of.....his stories have a tasty buffet of creep factor in them.....
