[Scott]

I'm finishing up the series by reading The Dark Tower.

[Dung Beetle]

I'm trying hard to get hold of The Marbury Lens, but my library is having some uncharacteristic difficulties with my interlibrary loan!

I’m slowly working on Flashman at the Charge, by George MacDonald Fraser. My one New Year’s resolution was to take time for reading every day, but it’s gone to hell already.

I hear ya. I have the same problem. Feels like the day is way too short.

[Bondama]

God, DB - I remember absolutely LOVING the
Flashman" books!! -- Wonderful, exciting historical fiction, indeed!

This is AWESOME, Scott!

[Kathy]

I try to plan what I'm reading, but it usually tends to blow up in my face! lol. No matter what I plan on reading, I find another book yelling at me "Read me now! Read me now! You know you want to!" lol.

I've been wanting to read Swan Song. I've heard such great things about McCammon! :)

[Dustin]

Ohhh, Kathy! You have not read Swan Song? You've just GOT TO! And McCammon is a great writer, Btw!

[Maya]

Finished reading Alone By Lisa Gardner i really enjoyed this book i might give her other books a try

I've definitely heard that! I think I foresee some shuffling of books on my TBR pile around in my near future! lol

[Barbara]

Reading Full Dark, No Stars hardcover and War of the Worlds and Last Light on Kindle. Got the Kindle as a gift at Christmas and all my stuff on there now is freebie downloads. Still loving paper-in-hand reading too much, but adapting. :-)

[Kathy]

I know what you mean, Barbara! Nothing will ever replace actual bound books for me, but my Kindle is very convenient in between! :)

Be sure to let me know what you think, Kathy!

[Kathy]

I definitely will! :)

World War Z by Max Brooks

[★ Jess]

Peeps by Scott Westerfeld. Its really, really weird so far.

[Kathy]

I am just starting Dracula, The Undead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt:

I am so curious about this book. I went to a booksigning for this book and they spoke about how much research they did for this book, historically and from Dacre's great-uncle Bram Stoker's notes. We'll see how this stacks up.

[Susanna]

Finished Catch-22. Solid three stars. I liked the setting (I'm partial to war stories) but I didn't feel the story gripping me. And the humour was lost on me. Somehow the end left me feeling like I'd just watched a Steve McQueen movie.

Well, next I'm picking up with Uncle Stephen. Wish me luck as I start Insomnia (never read it before).

[Kit★]

Good luck with Insomnia, hope you like it! Personally I kinda loved it, it's one of my faves :)

[Maya]

Finished Living With The Dead By Kelley Armstrong and started her next book Frostbitten

[Dustin]

Hi, Susanna! I hope you really enjoy Insomnia!!

[Susanna]

Thanks, Kit & Dustin. 65 pages in and I'm very much into it. I love how King can just make you like the central character so much right from the get-go.

[Dustin]

You are welcome, Susanna. Insomnia is a personal favorite (then again, I LOVE everything by King!)

[Lucie]

HORNS. Limited Edition.
I am reading this book by his son and it is awsome

[Varsha]

just started pet semetary- am thrilled to finally have a copy to take my time with and that he has called it 1 of his most frightening books he's ever written!

[Kathy]

Dustin wrote: "You are welcome, Susanna. Insomnia is a personal favorite (then again, I LOVE everything by King!)"

I'll second that, Dustin!

[Thomas]

Hi guys,

I'm reading 'It - Part II' for the third times. Almost finished it.
The best King ever :)

[Becky]

IT part II? Do you have a two volume edition or something? I've only ever seen/read it as one humongoid book. LOL

Welcome to the group! :)

You are right it is the best book ever :)

[Dustin]

Yeah, what is IT-Part Two?

[John]

Just finishing up "The Dracula Dossier" by James Reese & just starting "Get Capone" by Jonathan Eig. Big thumbs up to Reese's book! Captures the gothic feel of Stoker in an incredible way. "Capone" is shaping up nicely too (non-fiction account of Capone's fall).

[Bondama]

One more time, WHAT IS "IT" PART II??????

[Maciek]

Maybe the book was split into several parts, all published separately. Here the first printing of IT consisted of three volumes.

[Dustin]

That must be it, Maciek.

[Dawn]

Reading The Dark Tower right now, for the first time. A little more than halfway through. (view spoiler)[I'm depressed :( (hide spoiler)]

[Dustin]

Dawn- that is awesome!

[Dawn]

(view spoiler)[Awesome that I'm depressed? lol... (hide spoiler)]

[Kathy]

I wish I could read it again.....for my first time! Discover The Dark Tower series was amazing!

[Dustin]

No, not at all. I meant The Dark Tower...

[Dustin]

Yes, it IS amazing!

[Dawn]

I know what you meant, I was just teasing :)

[Billy]

I'm getting ready to tear through Blood Meridian, then Carrion Comforts, and the first book of A Game of Thrones series. after that im not sure

[Chris , The Hardcase]

I'm about to start it for my second time. Which is almost as good, since my Alzheimer's has wiped out most of the memory of the first time.

[Kathy]

lol. Rereading is always good. I always find things I missed or forgot.

[Susanna]

The Finnish edition of It was divided into two parts. Maybe that is the case here?

"Carrion Comfort" was a great book. Highly recommended.

[Dalia]

I am reading Kafka on the Shore and Murakami reminds me so much of Stephen King, except without any of the tongue in cheek snark. I am curious if other Stephen King fans have discovered the similarities between Murakami and King. BTW if you liked the anime Spirited Away KOTS would also appeal to you.

[Dustin]

Hi, Billy! Blood Meridian is a fantastic read, I love Cormack Macarthy's writing. But be forewarned: Blood Meridian is very, very violent. I also love George R.R. Martin's epic series. And I'm currently reading Carrion Comfort, too!

[Kevin]

Right now I am reading a book that I picked up randomly from my shelf, Rhapsody: Child of Blood, a great read so far into the book.

[Rachel]

I am reading Fated

[Kit★]

Finally finished Different Seasons and I think I'm going to break down and start next, I can't hold off any longer :)
