Just started The Halloween Mask: And Other Strange Tales byDavid Stuart Davies

[Andrew✌️]

I've finished Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a nice story about Lincoln and one of the most important parts of American History, with a touch of supernatural.
After that, I read A Brewing Storm and A Raging Storm.
These appear written by Richard Castle, the main character in the series "Castle", so I was curious to read them, even though I don't know who really wrote them. :)
In the series, Castle is famous just for writing Storm's adventures.

I am currently reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. I have read less than a hundred pages so my opinion at this time may change. My opinion right now is that this story is not very good. At least not when comparing this book to his other books. I feel that some of the stuff he puts in it is unnecessary and the only reason he put it in there is for the shock value.
I have said that my opinion may change because I have read other King books that started slow but turned out to be great. I hope that this is the case, because there are two more books in the trilogy.

Don't let it stay there for too long :) It's definitely worth reading.

It's nice to read the original story, though I have some issues with the book, like its pretentiousness is really getting me :)

I thought that might be the case and that's part of what kept me from it all these years. Maybe I'll listen to an audiobook version of it.

I've never read Frankenstein either. Always thought that it was poorly written, better as a concept than as an actual novel, although I see that it's required reading in some high school classes now. BTW back at my old Jesuit high school alma mater The Shining and On Writing are now required too.

[Emanuela]

I've just finished It (and I really really liked it, I'm already missing The Losers' Club...) and now I'm about to start Città in fiamme (City on Fire) by Garth Risk Hallberg.

[Kenneth]

Finished Salvage by Duncan Ralston. Not a bad first novel. A hallucinating ghost story set in a small town in Ontario that was flooded with the construction of a hydroelectric damn 30 years ago.

Enjoyed your review, Ken. Thanks.

I decided to try a Clive Barker, so I'm going with Weaveworld . Seems to have gotten some pretty good reviews and sounds pretty cool.

[Kandice]

I have a Nook so buy NookBooks exclusively, but finally downloaded the Kindle app (on my Nook!) because a title was only available as an ebook through Kindle. For giggles I looked up Stephen King books and there seem to be Kindle ebooks that I have never heard of otherwise.

Is this true? Does anyone know for sure? If so, I have a lot of catching up to do!

An author can choose to go exclusively with Kindle, but I can't imagine that King would ever do that. They do pull out a lot of short stories and publish them as individual books, (audible does that) maybe that's what you are seeing. Otherwise, I don't know.

Currently half-way through Ivanhoe

I'm reading From a Buick 8, an incredible story by Stephen King, similar to Christine, but I like more. Today I read Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth, an original Batman adventure, but not one of my favorite.
I'm continuing with You're Never Weird on the Internet.

Wow! Maybe Christine is kind of dated in its story and style... dated in the worst kind of way (late 20th-century camp). For me, it's one of King's very best, and I have to tell you I honestly believe Buick 8 is one if his worst. Maybe it's the love story in Christine that I thought was great. Nothing like that in Buick 8. But to be fair I've only read Buick 1ce. So maybe I'll give it another look some day soon.

Just started Weirder Shadows Over Innsmouth

I liked Christine, definitely more complex of this, with many different elements. Buick 8 is more intriguing, simple, at least till now. There is a mystery and a story in the story, told by the team of policemen. I hope it continues in the same way.

I've always found it interesting people's takes on King's works. Some will swear by a certain story of his, while others will swear at it. I'm in the same boat. I absolutely love Tommyknockers, while many hate it with a passion. The moral of the story is that King has a little something that touches us all.

I thought Tommyknockers was great.

[Terri]

reading in anticipation for the 3rd book again. love it, I don't want it to end.

[Sofia]

currently reading and ( I have to read Maias for school and it's really boring because I don't want to read it due to the fact that the major topic doesn't really appeal to me(

[Gavin]

Reading Swan Song

[Robert]

Just finished Natalie Babbitt's "Tuck Everlasting".

Beautiful, moving experience! I don't how this one escaped me for so long.

Can anyone suggest any other works of similar thematic style ?

[Kenneth]

Gavin wrote: "Reading Swan Song"

Absolutely love Swan Song. I've read it many times and easily one of my Top 3 of all time. How are you liking it?

[Kenneth]

Finished Midnight Rain by James Newman. Great first novel by Newman.

I just started reading The Listeners by Christopher Pike. I'd read a lot of Pike's young adult stuff back when I was a teenager, so it'll be interesting to see how his adult stuff fares.

[sasha]

I am in the process of reading Niceville. So far it's okay. I have a lot of time to read and write at work. Sometimes I get engrossed in it, other times not.

[Anastasia]

I'm waiting for my order which is "Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe" Has anyone read it? (In the meantime I'm reading the prequel of Maze Runner)

[Rhian]

Finished I am pilgrim yesterday now what a book that was

[Amy]

I've been wanting to read this for awhile, Rhian. Was supposed to be a small group read and was put on hold for now. Glad to hear you liked it so much!

[Rhian]

Amy it was fantastic you're in for a treat

Oh, quite a bit. I always like "okay, one more chapter" for like 10 chapters.

[Dylan]

Just started reading IT last night. This is my first time reading it so I'm pretty excited.

[Nick]

I liked Swan Song very much, but I had some reservations, believe it or not. I feel into the trap of comparing it with The Stand. Probably a big mistake. My review with all its spoilers is at

And while we're at it, here's my review of The Road

Great review! I really like The Road. I own Swan Song but I haven't read it yet. I am not sure when I will get to it. I just reread The Stand and The Passage and I plan on rereading The Twelve soon in anticipation of The City of Mirrors. I'm going to be busy!

I try to pick up one of his books every time I am at a local bookstore, if they have any I have not read.

It's a pretty interesting book, I haven't read one like it.

[Kandice]

I think I liked Timeline so much because he didn't romanticize the period. It was gritty and "real."

[VanillaSky]

Just started Joyland. I'm also reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and Kin by Kealan Patrick Burke.

I agree, I am getting into the latter half of the book and it is pretty gritty.
