199350 I kept seeing King's book out at Barnes and Noble. Good to know your take on the graphic novel. I just read his assistant found some book he thought he had lost under his pen name. I guess they're publishing it. I can't keep track of everything he wrote. He's like the Danielle Steel of horror. heh

199350 Okay, you have to add Freakonomics to your to-read list. I'm making everyone I know read it.

I don't know if you like historical fiction, but I've convinced (and NOT Oprah) many people to try Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. So far, I haven't gotten one bad word from any of them. It's my favorite book of all time (well, second only to Little Women, but that's just because I read LW first). It's got plot and characters, sex and intrigue. Good for guys and girls!

Oh and you have to add Persepolis because you read the first. And she's got a third book out now.

Okay, my nerdery is coming out so I'm stopping.

2 more days til Christmas!
