[Christine]

I'm reading The Passage and American Gods. Not so much with the American Gods (I like it but I'm not in love with it) but so far The Passage is rocking my world!

[Scott]

I just finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and now it's on to Dracula.

[Miriam]

I read Dracula this summer. It was great. I loved the story and the writing. Enjoy!

[Nathalie]

Yeah that one. I'm reading it in Dutch and I confused the title. Literally translated from Dutch it would be Black Heart, I guess I got a bit confused.
It was splendid though!

Now I've moved on to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

This has been recommended to me before, but sometimes books get on my wishlist and tend to get forgotten. Thanks for the reminder!

One of the classic King novels. Not my favourite perse but still worth the effort. Read it twice already.

The passage didn't do it for me. Sloppy writing and he couldn't hold my attention once you get past the first quarter of the book.

Both excellent in my opinion. I loved Dracula. My pocket is almost read to shreds.

[Marina]

I'm reading two books at same time... "Dark Tower - Wizard and Glass" and - for school - "O Filho Eterno" (Eternal Son) in Brazilian portuguese.
The Dark Tower series is the best thing I've ever read!!! But the other book is quite annoying...

[Mary]

Inspired by Danse Macabre, I'm now reading Lovecraft Tales. I'm already familiar with some of his more famous stories (The Dunwich Horror (my favorite), Rats In The Walls), but I forgot how florid his language is. It's hard to concentrate!

[Adam]

Reading The Tommyknockers, after that I have Under the Dome: A Novel and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

[Michael]

the dark tower series and the stand(novel) graphic novels, diggin both

[Craig]

Hearts In Atlantis. So far, its confirming my belief that King is just as talented writing stories that are not tradionally horror stories. Can't wait to finish it and start reading From A Buick 8.

[Jill]

Just finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón as recommended by Mr King and I loved it.

[Holly]

I'm reading The Firm by John Grisham

[Becky]

I just started reading The Haunting of Hill House... I'm only about 10 pages in, and so far I'm liking it, though it does remind me of Rose Red... (No doubt because RR was based on i, I'm guessing. LOL)

I can't wait to see where it goes.

[Steven]

Just finished John Updike's Pigeon Feathers and Other Stories for a grad class. Very well-written, a bit misogynistic. Tends to catch the wispy nostalgic and the occasional True Life Moment very well. Great style.

[Scott]

I finished Dracula and this morning I started Island of the Sequined Love Nun. I need a light read before I start Under the Dome.

[Josh]

I'm reading IT and I love it. Next up after that is The Exorcist then The Long Walk.

[Mary]

The House Next Door, another book mentioned by SK in Danse Macabre.

[Rachel]

Since last Friday, I have finished The Lathe of Heaven and Crown of Shadows, now rereading Heart-Shaped Box, still digging it the second time around.

[Rachel]

Mary wrote: "The House Next Door, another book mentioned by SK in Danse Macabre."

Thanks for reminding me, I've been wanting to read this book since I read about it in Danse Macabre. Are you enjoying it?

[Rachel]

I read part of The Long Walk on a boring Sunday at my old job in 6 hours. Kinda messed with my head.

Rachel wrote: "I read part of The Long Walk on a boring Sunday at my old job in 6 hours. Kinda messed with my head."

I read some of the Bachman books--Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man--and found them enthralling. The Long Walk--in my opinion--has some of the most disturbing aspects of human psych.

If you liked that I recommend you read the other ones. ^_^

[Bondama]

I read "The Long Walk" so long ago, but it blew me away so intensely that after I'd finished, I turned around and re-read it right away. And although I love to re-read, it's a rare book (or novella) that commands me to read it again immediately.

[★ Jess]

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

[Anna]

I'm finishing up the Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, and then continue reading Dantes Club by Matthew Pearl.

I like to read 2 books at a time so once I'm done with one of the above I'll pick up another one...probably a SK book :)

[Anna]

This is my favorite from Dan Brown so far...I didn't enjoy the movie as much since it was so different than the book!

[Nicoletta]

Currently reading Under the Dome!

[Erica]

I am now reading The Elementals by Michael McDowell.

[Becky]

I have just started reading The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende. Only 4 pgs in, but it's interesting so far!

[Christine]

Anna-the Uglies is probably one of my favorite books; how do you like it?

[Bondama]

Becky, I have a really close friend who shares a house w/ Isabel Allende in CA. I'm sure you know that Isabel's Uncle was the Head of State assassinated by the CIA..

[Becky]

I did not know that, Bondama. That's crazy! I don't know anything about Allende at all, actually - the book that I'm reading was sent to me by a friend. I've never really thought that her books were my style, being magical realism (which I generally don't like), although I'm liking this so far.

[Bondama]

She is a magnificent person, and even better writer - Actually, "House of Spirits" is the only magical realism that she wrote. Her Uncle, Salvador Allende, was the elected (but Leftist) leader of Chile when the CIA decide that he should disappear -- true story, they even admit to it now (apologize, that is!!)

[Becky]

Very interesting!

[Felina]

Because I'm crazy I just started The Stand during my lunch break which is adding a million pages to the already toppling pile of books I've committed to in the next few months. Its good things are slowing down here at the end of the summer.

[Becky]

Nothing wrong with that, Felina. LOL I've committed to re-read the Dark Tower series on top of the ridiculous amount of reading that I have to do this month already.

I have 5 books that I need to read for Jackie's blog activity, The House of Spirits (which I just started, which is another Jackie book) and Everything's Eventual, so that I can read The Little Sisters of Eluria. Not to mention that I have 8 books that I have for review on my own blog that I need to read. LOL

[Felina]

Yes but you can read 10 books in the same amount of time that it takes me to write my name at the top of the page. See...you just finished a book.

And another...


And another

[Becky]

Not true. I've only finished one in that time!

[Felina]

And another.

[Brandon]

Finally picked up The Stand. Not sure why I waited so long - about 200 pages in and loving it.

[Erick]

I am listening to by Joe Hill. I really like it and I have no idea how it is going to end. I listen to it in the car and I often sit in the parking lot at work so I can get a little further along.

I just requested that one from the library on audiobook. Glad to hear its good!

[Scott]

I'm going to start on the way home.

It is my favorite King book. I've read it a couple of times."

agreed. I love that book, but i haven't finished the dark tower series yet

[Mary]

I plucked my vintage copy of Night Shift off the bookshelf this morning, even though I'm reading 2 other books. SK is an addiction, I need a fix every month or so! All the kudzu vine everywhere made me think of the story "Gray Matter", is what happened.

I hope you enjoy it. I have found "Joe" to be, perhaps, even a little more twisted than his father.

[Becky]

I don't think MORE twisted, just twisted in different ways. :P

Excellent point.
