Also I just ordered The Black House, is it a continuation to the Talisman?"I loved the talisman, have to go back and read Black House as it has been years since I read it and not want to make any mistakes with Sai Kings books.

I just finished Centennial by James Michener, and it has taken its place as the best book I have ever read. I am amazed that he could put together such a huge story.

Rachel wrote: "I finished the Talisman, what an epic adventure. The ending made me cry happy tears. Anyone else enjoy the book? Also I just ordered The Black House, is it a continuation to the Talisman?"I will be honest, I did not enjoy the second half/final third as much as the beginning. I thought the first half was amazing and then after a certain section of the book (the school), I felt it slowly lost steam, and the climax left a lot to be desired. I still haven't read Black House but I own it and am looking forward to doing so (plus I believe many find it to be better than The Talisman? I could be mistaken).
Currently reading The Stand for the first time! I'm loving it so far!

I'm not much of a crier but there were a few moments in that book that really got me. I started Black House a few days ago but I'm having a difficult time getting into it. Hopefully that changes!
I'm reading the Hunger Games and this world is unnerving and bleak. I'm just getting into the story and I'm guessing that Katniss will be a shooting star that we all can look up to... When I'm done; my next venture will have to be the Running Man....
Half way through Follett's World Without End.
Dragon reborn Robert Jordan colony Anne rivers siddon 11th hour James Patterson MURDER house James Patterson snagged Carol Higgins Clark ransom canyon Jodi thomas bizarre of bad dreams Stephen king the stand Stephen king tigers claw Dale Brown
Smoke and Summons by Charlie N. Holmberg. Very weird and intense.
The Punisher: Back to the War OmnibusA collection of the Punisher's early guest appearances in other books. It's funny how he kind of looks like Spock early on.

Not the same time thought :) But i have allways one book that i read and one that i listen, i can listen books while working and at home i read (some times i listen audiobooks at home in bed if i cant sleep and i dont want to put the light on to read, because my wife is sleeping)

I'm currently reading Red Dragon. A good thriller, with very detailed investigations procedure. I read The Silence of the Lambs before this one and I'm happy to see an equal pace in this book.

I miss that story....

The North Central Positronics device called Daria is run with a code called Directive 19 which stops IT giving certain information to the user. Overriding the commands causes the device to stop working.... And you don't want to do that....
After finishing a book last night, I'll be reading some manga as a quick buffer before I get back into the Area X trilogy with Authority (I have the whole trilogy in one book and I read the first one last year, so I've been meaning to finish up for quite a while).
Desperation is a wild ride, Kathryn. I hope you enjoy it!
