....it's a cross between a thriller and sci-fi IMO....not one of my favorites because it needed trimmed by a few thousand words.....

Just received an ARC of Joe Hill's upcoming novella collection. Wheeeee! I'll be reading it next.
i've read this one, but i sure can't remember what happened specifically in it right now. the ending didn't bother me, i know that much. but for me i guess it wasn't one of his more memorable. i'll have to reread it at some point
oh and, in addition to reading the two books at home, i'm keeping Horns by joe hill in my car for reading if i'm out and about and stop for food or something. so far, an interesting start
Nice! Looking forward to that one. I pre-ordered a signed copy. Can't wait to read your thoughts on it.
Yes, John Jakes. I hadn't heard of Excalibur until I saw it at the secondhand store. I really liked the North and South trilogy, and most of his The Americans series--the historical ones, anyway. Once he got to the more modern times, I lost interest.
I will definitely look for those at my local library or on Thriftbooks!
Finished Monte Verita (The Mountain of Truth). More of a novella than a short story, about 75 pages. But is has that haunting atmospheric eerie feel too it thats so typical of much of her work. I once thought that she was a typical One-Hit-Wonder. It was Rebecca and nothing else but i have started to find out how wrong i am. Next in this collection is a story called The Apple Tree. It is about a deceased wife that haunts her husband in the shape of an apple tree.... Sounds loony but we'll see if she can work her magic again.
I read this for the first time about six months ago and passed it on to my mom. She still talks about it all.the.time. We loved Einstein so much. She keeps reading books and saying, the only problem with this book is...it's just not Einstein!
You're sooooo lucky!! Not sure how a person receives ARCs, but you are such an avid reader - you deserve it! Enjoy!
Decided to read Cujo... it's been yearsssssss since I read it.
Carpe Jugulum, another Discworld book.
I finally started End of Watch.
I'm only a few pages in.

Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus. Comes in handy when you're writing stuff.
I got a splendid but short memory. There is a non SK book I've been reading: Bukowski - a Life by Neeli Cherkovski. A biography of the great novelist and poet.
Finished The Apple Tree and The Little Photographer. That tree certainly was one of the baddest trees in literature (outside Tolkien).
I finished Until I Find You and I started Empire Falls by Richard Russo and The Ridge by Michael Koryta.
So.....until I find you at Empire Falls on the ridge?
Yeah, man...way up yonder, see?So.....until I find you at Empire Falls on the ridge?
