[Scott]

It was excellent. I'm going to take a little time before I read the next one though.

[Becky]

I'm planning on reading the next one in May, I think. If I can wait. I'm already anticipating where the story is going...

I'm glad that I only have to wait a few months for #5. Only halfway through #1 and I'm already impatient! LOL

[Dustin]

Hi, Becky!

It's great to hear that you're reading A Game of Thrones. I LOVE the series! Anyway, I don't mean to sound harsh or anything, but consider yourself lucky...a lot of us have been waiting for Book V since 2005!

[Becky]

I know Dustin, that's what I mean. It was the same with Dark Tower - I read them all back to back after they were all released. So far I've had pretty good luck that way.

I guess except for the Kingkiller Chronicles, I've been following that one since the first book.

[Scott]

I just finished Death Mask. I thought the ending was a little drawn out but I really enjoyed Masterton's writing. I'm definitely going to read more from him in the future.

I was at B&N last week and they did not have a single book from Masterton. What is even funnier is that they had a whole shelf of James Patterson's books.

I think I'm going to read Mockingjay and finish up that series.

I think everyone is wating for A Dances with Dragon. If hee does not get this out on July 12, 2011, there will be pitchforks and torches lined up outside his house in New Mexico.

[Michael]

I'm reading "The Tommyknockers." Just started chapter 8 at lunch which means that I'm almost through with Part 1. As with King's other books, I am enjoying it immensely.

[Courtney]

Just finished Small World by Tabitha King last night. It was the first novel of hers I've ever read. I enjoyed it ok, but I don't know that I'll read anything else by her. It dragged in spots and the ending felt rushed. I know it was her first novel, but I just wasn't feeling her writing style.

I'm starting Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House.

[Kit★]

Finished Lisey's Story and it was great, awesome, left me feeling good, though it was an emotional journey to the end.
Now I just started , not sure what to think yet.

[Bondama]

There is an incredible new Stephen King story in this month's "Atlantic" - I'm a true Luddite, so I have no idea whether of not I've done this correctly, but the website is:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/a...

[Dustin]

Oh, Bondama, you're referring to "Herman Waulk Is Still Alive," right!?!

Excellent story, thanks for the link. :) I just read it, and yea, even though it wasn't a happy story, I had a smile when I finished, just because I love SKs short-stories sooo much. Then I read the interview he gave to go with it, and that was sort of enlightening.

[Becky]

I just read Blockade Billy... Meh. Not my favorite story of his. I only gave it two stars.

But I'm also listening to the audio of The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters, and I'm really enjoying that one.

[Dave]

Im reading Locked Doors by Blake Crouch

[Dave]

Has anyone read The Stand uncut?

[Scott]

Dave wrote: "Has anyone read The Stand uncut?"

This is the first book I read on my Nook last year. It is a fantastic book. It is definitely one of my favorites from King.

[Veronica]

I have The Stand uncut. I may revisit the book this summer.

[Bondama]

Of course - The uncut version of The Stand takes what the "editors" made King take out (because it was toooo loooong)and put it back in. It's a much more cohesive novel this way, and it returns the "greatness" of this wonderful book.

[Scott]

I just finished Mockingjay. I thought this was a good series especially for younger readers. I'm sure I'll have my kids read it when they get a little older.

Now I'm going to start American Gods.

[Bondama]

I guarantee, Scott --- that's a book you'll never forget.

[Becky]

I didn't care for Mockingjay at all. I thought it was incredibly disappointing and out of character -- for just about ALL of the characters. Buttercup was the only character I felt anything at all for. And he's a cat.

American Gods on the other hand, is amazing. I recently read Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman, which contains a novella related to American Gods (Monarch of the Glen - read it after the book though!) and it made me want to read the book again.

AG is definitely a book that benefits from multiple readings. Even just after reading it once, I wanted to flip back to the beginning and go again to catch all the little things I might see this time around. It's brilliant. I hope you love it Scott!

Regarding The Stand - Yup! I've read it... Idunnohowmany times, and I'm rereading again this June. I can't wait. ♥

[Gatorman]

You haven't read The Stand until you read the uncut Stand.

[Kit★]

Gatorman wrote: "You haven't read The Stand until you read the uncut Stand."

I agree.

[Dustin]

Not only does The Stand (Unabridged) give the reader everything that King was forced to omit, but there's a complete richness about it that's brilliant. Mind boggling, even.

[Kit★]

I fully plan on re-reading it again myself. Is that going to be the June group-read?
Right now though, I'm still slogging through . It seems like it's just taking forever, I just want to be done with it so I can read something else. It's not terrible, it's just not that good either...

[Becky]

If it's nominated and wins... sure. I'm reading it in June anyway, so that would be perfect. :)

That's exactly how I felt about that book and why I have yet to read another one by Little.

[Bondama]

I totally agree with you on Little, Gatorman - For some unknown reason, I tried twice, but.. not again, not again!

[Kit★]

Woo! Finished it finally! Had to force myself to do it. I'd read The Revelation a while back, and enjoyed it for it's pure schlocky-ness, reminded me of all the scary stories I used to read as a kid, so I picked up The Walking and another one, The Return to try. On The Walking, I give it a big fat "Meh..." and it'll probably be a good while before I go ahead and read The Return. I probably would've liked Little's style better when I was younger and easier to please.
Next, I'm going to read The Bachman Books , very excited! Definitely no "meh..." there. :)

[Becky]

LOL I don't know how you guys can have conversations in bookcovers like that. I'm like 'read read read blank *squint at cover then hover the mouse over for the title* read read read blank*squint at cover then hover the mouse over for the title* read...' And that's on my big 22 inch monitor!

You guys must have eyes like hawks! LOL

[Kit★]

LOL I just like seeing the pretty covers :) It's always the covers that grab my attention at the store.

[Becky]

Mine too... but those are life-size! :D

[Dustin]

Kit, you might enjoy The Store, by Bentley Little. I read it about five years ago, and enjoyed it very much.

[Kit★]

Dustin wrote: "Kit, you might enjoy The Store, by Bentley Little. I read it about five years ago, and enjoyed it very much."

I've read good reviews of that one and The House also, so I'll probably try them if I find 'em cheap. :)

[Dustin]

I hope you can find a copy, Kit, and enjoy it!

Happy reading, everyone!

[Kevin]

I'm finishing out the month of April with World War Z.

[Todd]

I'm reading Water for Elephants (it's for a local book club I'm in) and won a LT Giveaway of an indie fantasy/steampunk book: The Converted

As far as Stephen King goes, I have UR on my Kindle radar this month as well as I checked out the sample of Blockade Billy

[Gatorman]

I just started The Summer I Died.

[Michael]

I finished The Tommyknockers earlier this week. I found it to be as good a read as The Shining. I could hardly put it down at times.

I'm currently reading Bossypants (Tina Fey) and Casino Royale (Ian Fleming). Both are short, so I should be finished in a day or two.

[Amanda]

Yeah! Another person who loved The Tommy-knockers!

[Checkman]

The Sand Pebbles by Richard McKenna

[Courtney]

Finished Wizard and Glass (awesome) last night and just started Wolves of the Calla.

[Scott]

Courtney wrote: "Finished Wizard and Glass (awesome) last night and just started Wolves of the Calla."

I think Wolves was my favorite from the series.

[Courtney]

After reading the prologue, I've decided to put Wolves down and read Salem's Lot first - it's one of the few King novels I've never read (other than the DT series), and I'd like to read about Father Callahan in the story from whence he first appeared.

[Dustin]

Oh, WOW Courtney, I wouldnn't have been able to put Wolves aside like that!

[Courtney]

LOL I'm very particular when it comes to things being in chronological order :)

[Lanie]

Hi Everyone,
Just finished UR (ebook only) and I really enjoyed it. Finished it in two days! I'm re-reading BLACK HOUSE. It's one of my favorite recent King stories. I probably have said this before, but I just love Henry Leyden!

[Samantha]

I just finished Desperation about an hour ago, and I'm going to be starting The Regulators as soon as I finish writing my review!

And Lanie, I LOVED Black House. That was one of my favorites of King's so far :]

[Susanna]

So, I finished The Shining . Kubrick's movie version kind of bogged me down in the beginning but eventually I stopped comparing book and movie and off I went into Uncle Stephen's Overlook. And, oh wow, was it creepy. I haven't been that scared to close my eyes at night in a long while!

[Jaime]

Started City of Bones last night. So far so good. Am anxiously awaiting the release of Full Dark No Stars in paperback. My local B&N isn't stocking the hardback anymore.
