What Are You Reading Now? Pt 2.
Kandice wrote: "Anyone reading Gwendy's Button Box?"I just got a copy in the mail today. I think I want to get through The Dead Zone, which is turning out to be far better than I remember it. Maybe in about a week.
I'm reading Tattletale by Sarah J Naughton I was so close to finishing it last night but fell asleep with only a few pages to go, I hate that but it's a good story
Hi!I'm new to the app and new to this chat room. Huge King fan, read a good chunk of his writing. But currently reading The Hobbit for the first time. Really enjoying it so far. Considering it was written in the 30s I'm surprised it reads so modern.
Hi Luke and welcome. The Hobbit is an excellent book like Stephen King I re-read Tolkien every few years. Are you going to follow through and read the Lord of the rings Trilogy?
Kandice wrote: "Anyone reading Gwendy's Button Box?"Haven't bought it yet. If you have read it, how is it?
Just purchased yesterday, read 3 chapters. It's a good read -- moves quickly, has a compelling heroine. Definitely worth a read.

I ended up really like it with the exception of the ending, which isn't all that surprising. Like Andy said, it pulls you in quickly with the appearance of the man in black.
I have begun the Game of Thrones series in audio and I love it so far. I am about 1/2 done with the first book. I love the character development.

Just started THE SPARROW by Mary Dorria Russell... about the Jesuits sending a mission to the first planet with intelligent life to be identified by our astronomers. Takes place in the late 21st century, and we know from the get go that the mission was a disaster. Excellent read.

I have no idea, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Let us know how you feel about the very end. The first time is always...well, something.

Lol, that is the perfect way of putting it.

Or look above the comment box you're typing in where it says (some html is ok). Click on that. The second last item on the list says • spoiler: < spoiler>...< /spoiler>, and gives the code that Kandice just posted. Cut and paste the code after the colon and type your spoiler where the three dots are. Don't copy and paste this because we have to add extra spaces in the string (eg: < spoiler) to write about it otherwise it turns our example into a spoiler.
I've been an audio book addict for about two years now but now I'm actually reading Pet Semetary. It's a must read King for me and there's no unabridged audio version sadly. Can't put it down.
Just started Bentley Little's 'The Mailman'. I've not read any of his before but have a good feeling already that it'll be a good 'un.
I'm reading Nomad by "Alan Partridge". Couldn't be further from the King style. But a great, laugh out loud read.

Jessika wrote: "I'm currently about 150-200 pages into Under the Dome. Really liking it so far!"This is one of King's book, along with IT, I would like to read in this year.
The great number of pages make me think that I need to be in the right mood to read it. It catch you from the first pages? Or at the beginning, the pace is a little slow?
I think Under the Dome opens with a bang and just ramps up from there. In the very first couple of pages the dome descends and then we really meet everyone.
Kandice wrote: "I think Under the Dome opens with a bang and just ramps up from there. In the very first couple of pages the dome descends and then we really meet everyone."UNDER THE DOME: It's as powerful an opening as Mr. Mercedes and almost as strong as the opening of THE STAND. Not quite as heart-stoppingly terrifying as the opening of Cujo, but maybe that only terrifies people who, as kids, had a big scary closet in their bedroom.
It definitely caught me right away--from the scene with the airplane & the woodchuck! And it's very easy to pick up & read for a hundred pages or so at a time. It's been taking me a while to read (I'm about 300 pages in now), but really, that's more because work/life has kept me busier than I would like. It's very addictive--every time you think it's slowing down, something else happens. I'm really loving it!
