Also finished re-reading Mr. Mercedes and plan to revise my earlier negative review soon. Just started The Fireman by Joe Hill.

Andy Davidson (theandydavidson) Reading GET IN TROUBLE by Kelly Link. Fantastic stories that blend the mundane with the surreal. Playful and frightening and magical, all at once. Great stuff.

Katie Owens | 3 comments I'm reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. It's not the greatest book I've ever read but it's pretty good. If my high school English teachers knew I was reading all the books I was assigned after I faked my way through so many essays they would not be happy.

The Way of Kings

I'm about 2/3 through. It has multiple excellent stories woven together. At first, I didn't like it (I thought the fantasy was much too fantastical), but now I am loving it.

If you enjoy that one I highly recommend reading Words of Radiance also. Those are two of my favorite books.

I am about halfway done with Misery and I am really enjoying it so far.

I love that book. It's so timely despite taking place decades ago. The spirit of the story never changes.

Gabriel (geleven) Pet Sematary (Stephen King)

I was encouraged several times to dig into it, so we'll see how it goes.

I honestly wasn't a fan of it and I love his books so it was disappointing that I couldn't get into it.

I thought Rule's book was really great AND terrifying. I read it because I was a little uncertain about King's portrayal of Brady in Mr. Mercedes. I think it helped clarify King's character for me, But you are right, Tanya Marie, King didn't do it nearly as well. I also listened to the audiobook and thought that it was very well done and especially frightening.

I had completely forgotten about this thread until your comment, Nick! Stephen King did a great job for fiction but that just pales in comparison to the real thing that Rule lays out in her book on Bundy. I more recently read Mr. Mercedes and there's no doubt in my mind that he has read and re-read Rule when constructing his antagonist.
I'm glad you enjoyed Rule. She also wrote a fantastic novel on The Green River Killer called Green River, Running Red. Worth looking into!
