Dave there a must, but read some of his older works first. Cujo Pet Semetary The shining. There are links to a lot of his books in the Dark Tower series. It isn't necessary to read the older works first but it makes it more interesting as you will then have a clue of what's going on. It won't hurt the understanding or ruin the story it is just helpful is all.

Erin, I read The Muse by Jessie Burton last year, and it was surprisingly, better than I expected. I haven't read The Miniaturist yet, but I own it, and I've heard some people prefer it over The Muse.

I completely agree. It makes the Stephen Universe, just that. Mostly everything tied together one way or the other. So interesting and always fun to get those easter eggs. :)

I started the first book in November and I wasn't very convinced of it; but I continued 'cause I had them all too. The second one bewitched me and, now, with the fourth I practically dn't sleep anymore. It was a long time since a series took me so bad.

This is my first book by her. So far I think the book is just OK, the writing is good but I don't care much for the characters.

Yep; that's how it was when I initially read it over 20+ years ago. I really hated the first book; but by book 3, I was like an addict of all things Dark Tower.

Yep; it's quite the same. I think I didn't understand and didn't like the first one. But then the second was so good and now the books are just running away. I have nearly finish the 4th.

So glad you ended up liking the series. Woot!

The last book broke my heart....

Haunting of Hill House. Enjoyable but very old fashioned and totally different from the recent TV series.

Year One

[Wise Cat]

I'll be finishing up https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... soon and starting the sequel, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

They are part of the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare, a prequel to The Mortal Instruments.

I see the book title doesn't show but the whole link does. I don't know how people get that to show up right, and if that's the way we are supposed to post a book we are reading?

Clockwork Angel is what I'm finishing up; Clockwork Prince is the sequel I'll be starting today or tomorrow.

Just finished Old Man's War, which was really good. Gave it 4 stars

I have really been enjoying the continuation of The Dark Tower graphic novel series, with The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three - The Prisoner and The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three - House of Cards. This entire series is fantastic.

It has been a reread for me, as well, since I was a teen. The ending gets interpreted by everyone so differently. I wonder if he ever stopped running.... ???

It's an amazing book, written by someone who knew the guy personally.

I Wonder if he died earlier and is a corpse still running. Or, if he died, still running.

In enjoying it so far.

What I think is almost miraculous is that The author worked with Ted Bundy on a suicide prevention hotline and they stayed friends, even when all that killing began, even though he knew that she was a former police officer who wrote police procedural novels. How's that, a murder novelist and a serial killer friends for years. Of course, she didn't know through most of that time that he was the killer. The book was referred to me by a friend in this group after I questioned Brady Heartsfield's psychology in Mr. Mercedes.
