I went around singing that for YEARS after I read this book...sometimes it still pops in my head for no reason. I love that book, but I'm a little biased b/c it was my first SK book so it will always hold a special place in my heart, lol...

I'm reading The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson in honor of halloween and all, and b/c I'm writing horror reviews all this month on my blog. It's not scary, but it's okay.

Dani Landry (danilandry) Reading 'Salem's Lot. Figured after The Strain I'd continue with the vamps! It is October, after all!!

Lena - The Amityville Horror was my first horror book ever! I was 12. :) It was pretty freaky to a 12 year old.

I loved Salem's Lot. One of the creepiest books I've read in years. Amityville...eh. Maybe when I was 12! :D

I re-read that thing every year or when there is nothing else to read. I really love it, and of course SK knows how to weave a tale. I also read The Talisman when the mood hits me. :)

Rachel | 701 comments Just started The Dark Half tonight.


message 1711: by Dani (new)

Dani Landry (danilandry) I read SL 20 years ago, but really don't remember much about it, but I'm reading it now for a challenge on another GR group. (Hafta read stuff from the year you were born - it also fits into another category for another challenge - book that was made into a movie - so it's killing three birds with one stone. Third bird being it had been on my TBR list since I finished DT.)

I really like the easy, conversational manner in which it is told. It's very easy to find yourself relaxing into the story. I'm only about 20% or so in right now.

Hi, Lena!

The Amityville Horror isn't all it's cracked up to be, huh?


message 1713: by Scott (new)

Scott | 401 comments Finished The Strain, which I really enjoyed.

Then I started Dead Man's Song.


message 1714: by Ron (new)

Ron (hpl1701) | 12 comments I am reading Night Boat by Robert McCammon. About half way through. It's pretty good.


message 1715: by Dustin (new)

Dustin Hi, Ron!

McCammon's great, IMO!

SK talks about it in Danse Macabre, but I can't remember much of what he said about it. Other than it's the only financial horror book he could think of! Lol...it wasn't very scary. But then, not many books scare me.

I am currently on page 888 and I have loved every minute of this book. I can not wait to see how it is going to end. This was a massive undertaking being over 1,000 pages, but when it comes to King thats never a bad thing lol.

Hi again, Lena!

Other than it not really being scary, what are your thoughts, overall, on The Amityville Horror?

Scott | 401 comments Scott wrote: "Talk about creepy, I am in the final stretch of The Dark Half and hundreds of sparrows have moved into the big oak tree just across the road..."

How do you like this story since you are a writer yourself? Are you connecting with your Dark Half?

This is one that I have not read yet.

Dani Landry (danilandry) Just finished Drowning Ruth. Very different. I really enjoyed it. Just started World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. Started Bag of Bonesbut so far it's not really holding my interest.

Keep reading. Bag of Bones starts out kinda slow from what I recall.


message 1728: by Scott (new)

Scott | 401 comments I thought Bag of Bones was excellent. It takes a little while to figure out what the story is actually about but it really gets going about a third of the way in.

You are reading it just in time that you will be able to watch the mini series on A&E. I believe it starts in early December.

Yes, it's a bit slow at first but definitley picks up and finishes great. Well worth the time.

Kathy (bookgoddess1969) | 665 comments I loved Bag of Bones! It's been a few years, though. :)


message 1731: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Jackson I am reading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I tried Bag of Bones but didn't get very far - it seemed to move slow to me but will try it again later.

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 612 comments Oh man, Night of the Living Dummy (Goosebumps, #7) by R.L. Stine was the one that scared the crap out of me... even once I was older I'd think back on it and get a little jumpy!

Beth (mommyto4bees) im reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks and Welcome To Horrorland A Survival Guide (Goosebumps Horrorland) by R.L. Stine with my daughter :) we are on a goosebump kick!


message 1746: by Susanna (new)

Susanna (jb_slasher) Right now I'm going for something a little lighter. I'm browsing through Essential Captain America, Vol. 1 and finally taking some time to read up on Scandinavian mythology so I've picked up a Finnish edition of Edda which attempts to explain the poems and the stories of Odin, Thor, Loki etc. (In part, I blame comics but mostly just my best friend.)


message 1747: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (ShannonCinderz) | 1 comments Just joined the group, and also just recently joining GoodReads.... so I don't know anyone around here yet, but add me if you want. It's always a pleasure to meet a KING fan or an avid reader or writer.

Right now, before moving on to anything else, I aim to finish a old book I never finished!! Stephen King, "Secret Windows" and I am only halfway through a 400+ page book! Alas.... I shall finish the journey.

I'm a bit torn between which book to start once I finish this one next week, though.

It's kind of fun to be undecided..........

I think I'm going to start The Long Walk this afternoon.

I haven't read that one yet. But if you haven't read the Group Read book, you might want to read it. It's a suggestion for which direction to go next, anyway!
