Thanks Dustin I am halfway into the book the writing lacks a little polish compared to some of his recent books I read but the plot is still very interesting.I am having difficulty putting it down.

[Kathryn]

Black House by King and Straub.

I'm currently reading Shadow Creek by Joy Fielding

[Linda]

I finished And The Mountains Echoed. I'm now finishing Make Them Cry.

[Lorraine]

I'm currently 20% into the second Game of Thrones book A Clash of Kings. Very daunting when the book is almost 1000 pages.

[Scott]

I finished NOS4A2. It was excellent. I think I still like Horns better.

Now I'm reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

You're welcome, Aditya. That's the only Baldacci novel I've read, so I had nothing to compare it to.. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I can be a little intimidating, but speaking personally (I'm currently re-reading the series, roughly 145 pages into A Clash of Kings,) the pages flow very easily. I hope you find it that way, as well, Lorraine.:)

I finished it a couple of days ago a very good & entertaining read as fast paced a book as I ever read.If you liked it you may want to check out the few series he has written like King & Maxwell or Camel Club (which I hear is good though I am yet to read it).

[Jason]

I'm about 800 pages into Under the Dome in preparation for the upcoming television show. Looking forward to it. The book is kicking some serious ass, imo. A ton of fun to read. I only hope that the television series doesn't ruin it.

I have read The Innocent, The Hit, and Zero Day by David Baldacci and loved them. I have quickly become a Baldacci fan. I have a couple of the King and Maxwell books to read sometime in the near future.

I am yet to read any of them though I hope to get to them sooner rather than later.I have not read that many of Baldacci's books maybe 5 or 6 but whatever I had read I had liked.
The one I really liked was The Sixth Man which was incidentally the first Baldacci book I read.

The Sixth Man is actually one of the books that I have on the shelf but haven't gotten to yet. Glad to hear that you liked it. Just not enough time in the day for me to read everything that I would like. I'll get to it, though.

[★ Liane ★]

The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen

[Jacob]

I finished in Friday and it was brilliant. Thinking of either or next

[Daniel]

Just started monstrous sequel to Patrick Rothfuss "the name of the wind", "the wise man's fear". So far so good, but a lot can change in 1k pages.

[Adam]

Finished Pressure. Great read! Now I think I will start Currency Of Souls. Looking forward to it. Love Kealan Patrick Burke.

I hope you enjoy it.I have the same problem too many books but not enough time to go through them all.I have been meaning to read Ted Dekker's books for months now but still had not been able to start them.

I have read Adam by Ted Dekker, which is a book about good vs. evil, and I thought it was really good. I also have The Bride Collector but I haven't gotten to it.

[Scott]

I finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I really enjoyed the story. Now I'm going to read Joyland.

[Courtney]

Watchers by Koontz.

[Elena]

"the waste lands". by the king. right after TS Eliot's "the waste land"

[Adam]

I'm reading right now, Jacob. It's alright so far. Kind of a dry read for me, though. I'm glad it is a short book.

[Dustin]

I'll be wrapping up The Catcher in the Rye later today, then resuming A Clash of Kings.:)

[[deleted user]]

Figured I'd finally take a crack at Clive Barker, especially since I have a month's worth of free time in my hands, and his debut novel The Damnation Game seemed like a nice place to start. His prose is actually really good and I was very involved with the story from the very first page. Very evocative first chapter.

I'm about halfway through Ghosts of Sleath it's good so far. I liked Moon but he has better ones.

Just started Joyland. It's brilliant so far.

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading The Heist just after finishing Dolores Claiborne, which was very good.

[[deleted user]]

I just finished The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice and I am starting on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carre.

[Scott]

I finished Joyland last week. I thought it was excellent. Now I'm reading The King of Plagues.

[Vashti]

I'm reading Women Behaving Badly by Alana Munro. So far I'm really enjoying it.

[Aditya]

I started off with It . I had heard some great things about it but seeing it is over 1000 pages I think at some point of time it is going to become a tedious & boring read.

I had read a couple of hundred of books but am yet to encounter one where the author had managed to hold the interest of his readers beyond 650 pages at most.Hope It can be the first one.

Hi, Aditya!

Maybe it's just me, but I highly doubt you'll ever find IT to be tedious and boring. It's a wonderful story from start to finish. I couldn't put it down.

[Dustin]

Currently, I'm halfway through my re-read of A Clash of Kings, and really enjoying Jess Walter's first short story collection, We Live in Water:.

[Linda]

I'm currently reading A Child Torn innocence Lost.

Hello Dustin.
I have just completed Part 1 of the book (there are 5 parts) & so far it is good.I don't usually read such long novels but I decided if there was any one author who can make such a length book remotely interesting for me it has to be King.It has started strongly, hope it remains so till the end.

It is great to know you got the time to reread some of your favorites because with so many new books being added to my shelves I doubt I will reread anything in the near future.

[Dustin]

Hi, Aditya!

I agree that if any author can keep you interested through a thousand plus page book, King can and does, IMO. I'm happy to hear that it's going well for you so far. IT definitely remained strong from start to finish for me.

I adore re-reads!

IT is my favourite King book. Didn't drag at all for me. Classic!

About to complete the second part of the book (reading has been slow due to other stuff) & it has not yet grated on my nerves so I think the length won't be too much of an issue.The book describing two timelines helps the pace.

King still should have cut down on some description which feels too long but as long as the story moves forward & there are not any chapters where nothing of note happens I am fine with a bit of extra sentences/information albeit unneeded.

[Costas]

I agree with Dustin. I have found that Stephen King is one of the few authors that can keep me interested while reading a very long book.
Right now, I'm finishing Imajica , and it felt excruciatingly long! It did get a little better on the second half though.
