What are you reading right now?

I'm reading Secret of the Sands which I got from the Kindle Lending Library. It's, um, not amazing. But it is fun, if you know what I mean. A nice light easy read after a bunch of heavy King stuff.



How about 1984?


Oh, I loved 1984, Dani!!

Neverwhere is one of my all time favorites.

Hi, Rachel-..."
Dustin, I like some of Ellis' other work better. I found AP entertaining but the violence got to be a bit too much of an assault on my senses.

Love that book."
Since you said you both like it, I put it on my TBR. It sounds really interesting.

I LOVED The Help! Such a good story.

It is, and fantasy is not usually my thing. Gaiman is fantastic.

I loved Drood too! The Terror is fantastic as well, if you haven't read it yet. I wasn't very impressed with Flashback though :(

Hi, Rachel-
Thank you for your input! I really appreciate it.:)

I liked Drood, but LOVED The Terror. I also felt the same about Flashback.

Excellent read, IMO!:)"
That's a good one, Dustin!
Have you guys noticed a new King? Owen! I saw his book for sale at Amazon but can't remember the name of it. I believe it was a short story collection, but could be wrong.
Here it is: We're All in This Together: A Novella and Stories
Please forgive me if I've mentioned it before.

I really enjoyed that one gator, I have just started the final book of the Pine Deep trilogy Bad Moon Rising!

Thank you, Charlene.
I've known about Owen King for several years now, actually..:)

I downloaded BMR in anticipation of finishing DMS. Enjoy!

I second that. Or third it. Drood was very, very good. The Terror was even 100 times better than that. But Flashback was an all-time disappointment, not only because it was bad, but because of why it was so bad...Lots of Dan Simmons author-intrusion in there, and what he intruded to say wasn't all that great.

Steven, I am with you there. At his website he says that the book doesn't reflect his personal politics, but I have a hard time believing that.







You're very close to a KICK BUTT ending, Gwen. Hang on!

Hi, Kevin-
Have you read A Scanner Darkly?

Hi, Kevin-
Have you read A Scanner ..."
Yeah, I read it for class in high school right before the movie came out, and I have the movie. The teacher stopped teaching it after the movie came out. Its one of my favorite books.

About 2/3 of the way done with "Twenty Weeks". Mixed impression on that one, so far.
I read a collection of short horror stories "Aberrations" and a few of those were very worthwhile, some, not so much. That's pretty standard (for me, at least) with a collection written by different authors.
I went on an ebook buying spree after we got our income tax refund, so am set for those. No new paperbacks, so I guess I'm all ebooks for awhile, unless I reread.


Don't really know what to start now, I'm more than open for suggestions ;)

Hi, Kevin-

Thank you, I appreciate that.:)
I love the novel, as well.

Just started Boy's Life. It's my second McCammon, even though Swan Song is one of my favourite novels. I don't know why it's taken me so long to read anything else by him, but I'm really looking forward to this one.
