I read Dune a million years ago, but I still remember thinking that it was the best positive portrayals of a mother-son relationship I'd ever read.

[Malina]

I've just started The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Malina I am almost finished with The Ocean at the End of the Lane, it is really good! Beautifully written and not at all what I expected! Let me know what you think of it! :)

I've got a review of it up there somewhere, said a lot of nice things about the audio version and the book itself. I loved it.

Yes, there is a strong relationship between them. But this is a novel with a combination of many elements: there are intrigues, policy, cultural difference and mistrust between the parts. All on a mysterious world like Arrakis. Read this reminded me the movie of the '80 and the PC games by Virgin Interactive of early '90 (great adventure!).

I read this books months ago and I found it a very nostalgic story, sad but also wonderful. The type of book of Gaiman I prefer, more for adults, rather than Neverwhere or Coraline. If you have read other of his books, you'll appreciate this.

Nick I bet the audio was great! Sorry I can't reply directly, I'm on my phone and it won't let me for some reason!

Gaiman reading Ocean was absolutely sublime. If you have a chance it's so worth listening to even if you've already read it.

Kandice I will definitely have to check it out, I'm a reread we anyways and this is one I definitely wouldn't mind taking in again!

[Jeff]

On the subject of real reads, I'm giving Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem another go.

[[deleted user]]

Oops re-reader haha!

[Nick]

Really got into Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates last night. plowed through about 100 pages. Also listening to the audio book of Gone Girl.

[Jeff]

Nick....I absolutely adore that book. Switters is a wholly original character.

I know; the whole thing is great, and the terrific Robbins humor is still there. Love that.

[Terri]

if I can find the time, I'm about to start Pet Sematary by King

[Tom]

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates was amazing. Loved that one. I am one chapter into NOS4A2 and am excited about this one

NOS, what a great book! If you love King you'll love Hill :)

[Malina]

Just starting Asylum , looks interesting so far

Don't read it alone... with the lights out. I was reading Fierce Invalids last night at midnight with only the light from my iPad glowing. Glad it was Tom Robbins and not Mr. King.

I loved the Series in spite of the romance. It was such fun to read!

That was the first book that I read that introduced me to horror fiction and Stephen King as a kid. It changed my life and I'd still one of my favorites today after repeated readings. I hope you enjoy it too!

[Michael]

Pet Sematary was my first King as well. I wish I could remember how old I was. I was hooked from the start.

I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. The story was good with likable characters. It reminded..."

I think the romance is less...syrupy, for lack of a better word in the rest of the installments. There, but more in the background. I think she just needed to get them hitched in that first one. ;D

[Kirstin]

Just started Misery. So excited to read it!

[Stephen]

Starting Mr. Mercedes.

[Kandice]

Just started Antony and Cleopatra. (for the fourth time!)

[Kelli]

Almost done with Mr. Mercedes. NOS4A2 next.

[Betsy]

I just started THE RED DRAGON, Thomas Harris, the book that turned me on to psychological thrillers in the 80's and.... loving it just as much this time as then. Love the "examination" as to the why behind a serial killer's mind.

I loved this book too! Just finished Silence of the Lambs and looking forward to reading the other 2 next year.

I actually prefer this book to Silence.

[Andrea]

I'm done with Gone Girl. And now I'm gonna enjoy reading your comments in the group read section...

Right now I think I might start The Eyes of the Dragon, you all know the author, and The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever by Alan Sepinwall

[Berend]

Bernhard Hennen - Elfenlicht

[Alice]

I am halfway through Pandemonium 2nd in the Delirium series by Lauren Oliver. Love it!!

Good to hear that. I read 1st book some time ago, and hope to get to #2 soon.

[Amanda]

Today I started Krampus: The Yule Lord, just in time for Christmas!

[E.]

Just finished Sharp Objects. I really liked it. Flynn seems to know damaged socio/psycho -pathic people pretty well, and can even make them desirable.
Just started Anansi Boys.

[E.]

Amanda, I have Krampus on my to-read list but have been hesitant to pick it up. Looking forward to your feedback on that one.

I really enjoyed all of Gillian Flynns novels.
Anansi Boys is great, hope you enjoy it, Gaiman never disappoints, have you read American Gods?

[E.]

No Malina, this is my first Gaiman. I have a copy of American Gods, just picked up this one first.

[Malina]

Oh then don't miss out on it! It's one of his best IMO

[Nick]

Okay, finished Gone Girl, finished my 24th script for the cinequest film festival, finished writing and publishing my new novel Avenging Adelita and - while I have some - will send an autographed copy to anyone who wants one (message me if so). Still enjoying Fierce Invalids, etc. Looking forward to listening to whatever King selection is the new group read.

[Malina]

Wow Nick, you've been busy, congratulations on publishing your new book it looks like a great read!

[Jeff]

Nick
Glad you are enjoying Fierce Invalids....Look forward to reading Avenging Adelita in the new year! I am still reading Gravity's Rainbow, Fool on the Hill by Matt Ruff which is tremendous fun, Skinny Legs and All by Robbins and rereading Chronic City by Lethem.

Thanks Malina; writing is addictive... and it's a good think that it is.

You should read it, Ken. It's pretty good and something different. I think it was written in the 80s.

How is it? I read The Crimson Petal and the White by him and loved it, although it was quite different from this one, after reading the blurb
