What Are You Reading Now? Pt 2. Showing 3,501-3,550 of 10,433

[Nick]

Reading Pet Cemetery and listening to Innocence by Dean Koontz. So far I'm liking it far more than Sole Survivor by Koontz. I especially like the reader. He does a great job.

[Andrew✌️]

I've finished The Shining, one the best story written by King. Today I started Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft, first book of the series. It remains all in the family. :)
A nice graphic novel, with a part of mistery and superantural.

[Gavin]

I'm currently halfway through The Exorcist

I read it some months ago. I liked the story, that is more that the mere exorcism.
I manly liked the study of the man and his doubts, and in the same, the human side of the characters.

[Jeff]

Currently reading
Laura Warholic or the Sexual Intellectual by Alexander Theroux
And slowly weeding my way through:
The Recognitions by Gaddis
Sewer, Gas and Electric by Ruff
Oblivion by Wallace
The Royal Family by Vollmann

Just finished the Crying of Lot 49 by Pynchon, my 5th book by him in the last year and I loved it! Between college and a new full time job I haven't had much time to read for fun.

[JoAnne]

Now reading Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel. Confession: this is not the zombie-based story I thought I was picking up from local library. Ha on me. Then to my surprise, I find this Thomas Cromwell is one scary politician.

JoAnne if you like the books you must check out the series. The BBC did "Wolfhall" the first book in the series and I think they're doing the rest as well. Totally riveting.

[Gavin]

I'm currently reading American Psycho

Gavin, I have never read AMERICAN PSYCHO but I see it on every list of top thriller books. After you finish it, would you please tell me your thoughts about this book. Is it really scary? Is it more a psych thriller, getting into the killer's head? What exactly is it that gives this book its reputation?Thanks!

Possibly among the worst movies I ever saw, too surreal for my choice. Hope you enjoy the book but it has to be strikingly different from the movie to be my cup of tea.

[Tom]

It is one of the best written, intellegent books you will hate with a passion

[Sara the Librarian]

I'm reading Twilight: Life and Death because I am a sadomasochist...someone please....please help me...........

I disagree with all of this except the "hating it with a passion part" ;)

I read it too...O_o

[Kandice]

I thought the novel American Psycho was great, but the movie was a bit much, With a book you can take a break, look away, whatever, but the movie is just so in your face nasty.

[Sara the Librarian]

I had the exact opposite reaction. I found so thoroughly disturbing that any metaphor or deeper symbolism was totally lost on me. With the film I suddenly got the whole concept of the materialistic 80s, dehumanizing corporations etc.

I'll try.

[Kristen]

I am reading 11/22/63 at the moment. And I have to say that I absolutely love this book!

[Terri]

i just finnished "Needful Things" and all i can i say, I'm disappointed with the whole book.

I really didn't care for it either, Terri. There were some good scenes, but all in all I found it pretty disappointing.

[Amy]

I'm grateful that between Needful Things and Misery, I took out Misery than instead.

Lots of other people liked Needful Things though... as usual.

[Susan]

I wasn't impressed with Needful Things either. The idea was good, the execution quite poor. Don't know why so many people like it. Maybe I should reread it.

Just started Duma Key. Heard lots and lots of positives about this book. Hopefully it will be as good as people say.

One of my favorites... the father daughter relationship is wonderful.

[Erin]

[Andrew✌️]

I'm reading Snow White Must Die. Not the first book of the series, but the stories seem independent. A good mystery.

[Kelsey]

I'm currently on The Martian. I'll admit the movie made me want to read it - usually sci fi isn't really my cup of tea in book form, but the first person narrative makes it an entertaining, fun, and kind of easy to read. I also like how Weir interweaves the first person narrative on Mars with the third person point of view of operations here on earth.

[Nick]

Just finished Pet Sematary and published a long, self indulgent, but otherwise insightful review. :-) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Rhian]

Read the amityville horror again over Halloween and was disappointed not to be terrified, now reading Salt by Colin F Barnes and loving it so far

[José]

I'm halfway through The Bazaar of Bad Dreams and so far the stories are great. The only one I didn't like was Premium Harmony but the others are really good.

[Cody]

I as well am halfway through Bazaar, and these stories are pretty creepy! Also started reading John Irving's new book, Avenue of Mysteries, and while its a slow start, it's rather enjoyable.

[E.]

I just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go. Pretty good story.
About halfway through If You Find Me. Also pretty good.
Both of these books are making me want to go camping...

It is good so far.

[Rhian]

Salt was a fantastic 5★ book, now onto pretty little things by jilliane hoffman

[Andrew✌️]

I'm reading Abaddon, a sci-fi novel, with a good story and a little bit of mistery. And Se vi pare che questo mondo sia brutto, an assay by Philip Dick. I don't know if there is an english version or if it's a collection published by this editor.

[Gavin]

Made through the prequels, and finally got to Crisis on Infinite Earths

[Messier110]

Just finished Mr. Mercedes, and decided to pick up 'Salem's Lot. After that, I have It in the mail

I really shouldn't say that you're about to take a major step up in the quality of your King reading, but you are. Stepping up to two of his very best.

[Erin]

[Ron]

Reading and loving every minute of it.

[Nick]

Ron wrote: "Reading and loving every minute of it."

One of my very favorite books.

[E.]

Mine too

[Nick]

Listening to The Lake by Richard Laymon, and reading by Lori Schafer... a sexy autobiographical romance... what can I say. Her books are great.

[Ron]

My favorite Laymon book was probably The Stake.

This will be my 4th serving of King's work. I started with the Stand, then tried 11/22/63. I loved 11/22/63, It was probably my favorite book that I have read this year. Mr. Mercedes was ok, I didnt quite get why it fell in to the mystery genre. But then figured I'd give one of the works that put him on the map a try. Im about a quarter in to Salems Lot, and it definitely has a different feel than the other three.

[Nick]

11/22/63 is one of my favorites too... and one that I like to recommend to non-horror King fans.

[Nick]

Ron wrote: "My favorite Laymon book was probably The Stake."

I'll check it out after I get through a few more books on my stack.

[Kenneth]

Just finished chewing on a re-read of a 7 course meal called The Stand by Stephen King. A classic, yet I still prefer Robert McCammon's Swan Song . I know, I know. Blasphemy to all of you King purists. But I call em the way I see em.

After that big meal, I needed a couple of easier ones to consume. So, I ripped through Tommy Rotten: A Halloween Tale by Adam Light and Thumbprint: A Story by Joe Hill which I thought were just a couple of so-so offerings.
