[Michelle]

I just got a Kindle for my birthday ... love it. I found a site wowio.com where I recently got Brian Freemsn's book The Painted Darkness. I had no problems putting this book on my Kindle and the book is great so far. Reminds me a little of Duma Key.

[Erica]

Am still trying to read "The Child Thief" and just finished "The Haunted Vagina". Wierd premise, great book.

[Scott]

I finished Horns on Friday. What a great book. I thought it was better than Heart-Shaped Box.

Now I started The Synthesis.

[Bondama]

Erica - are yo having trouble with "The Child Thief?"

[Nilofer]

Finished 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill, The Ragwitch by Garth Nix, one of my fav authors, and the first Sookie Stackhouse novel by Charlaine Harris, which was quite a page-turner, but maybe too much sex vs. plot for me. Planning to get her next book, but after I read Under the dome which I got recently. I was intimidated by its size, knowing once I start I'd want to read it all at once, which would seriously screw up my life :) so had been holding off. And not to mention picking up Gunslinger too, for a refresher.

Better than Heart-Shaped Box? I loved Heart-Shaped Box. I'll have to move Horns up the TBR pile.

[Felina]

Nilofer - What did you think of 20th Century Ghosts? I'm currently reading it and while I'm loving the writing some of the abrupt endings are getting to me.

[Jc11king]

I am reading The Running Man

[Scott]

This afternoon, I'm going to start Neverwhere. This will be the first book I have read by Gaiman.

[Gatorman]

That is a good choice to start with. Neverwhere is a great book. If you end up liking that, try American Gods, my personal favorite by Gaiman.

I already have it my Nook.

Hello, Scott!

Gaiman is a great writer. If you like American Gods (it's on my to-read list,) you might also enjoy Anasi Boys.

[Rachel]

I just finished Dracula. Don't know what I wanna read next.

You're welcome!

Dreamcatcher's awesome!!

[[deleted user]]

Dustin wrote: "Dreamcatcher's awesome!!"

I agree! So far i can't get enough. I really can't wait to see what happens. =D.
I also went out and bought the film for when i've finished the book and realised it had one of my favourite actors in; Damian Lewis.
Dreamcatcher just keeps getting better haha.

[Becky]

I'm still working on Everything's Eventual... Maybe I'll finish it before 2011. LOL

[Lou]

Hi i dont really post much about what i am reading but at the moment i am going through few books
The Remains by Vincent Zandri(thought i would try out this new writer)
The Church of Dead Girls (which had stephen king writing a good blurb on cover)
the Good house
Altered carbon (struggling to get through)
Teatro Grottesco (reading here and there)

[Stacie]

I just finished The Gunslinger and It and am almost done with The Puppet Masters. After that I plan to read War for the Oaks for another book club and then get a start on next month's The Drawing of the Three (which I really hope I enjoy more than Gunslinger!)

It and Swan Song plus rest of Dark tower series are books I have been saving to read at a special time lol. I think now it's been too many years that I have been putting it off and need to start reading them.

[Lou]

Becky wrote: "I'm still working on Everything's Eventual... Maybe I'll finish it before 2011. LOL"

Lol I know what you mean lagotti stories might take time also I have Matheson and King short stories to get through.

[Becky]

I've just been reading other things rather than working steadily through this book. I'm really enjoying it, and I just need to finish it!

[Dustin]

Hello, Lou!

I would definitely get to The Dark Tower series, It, and Swan Song. They are all great reads, IMO.

[Varsha]

i am reading the bachman stories- am on running man at the moment.. when i finish it i am moving on to the dark tower series- for the first time ever!

[Bondama]

I've been on a round of Polish lit -- recommended by Maciek - the book I'm currently "living in" - is called "Miss Nobody"- it's a coming of age book, but so vividly imagined and voiced so impeccably I can't seem to get into reading anything else until I finish it.

[Dawn]

Right now I'm listening to the audio version of Duma Key, and I absolutely love it so far. Next up I'll be reading The Drawing of the Three.

[Scott]

I just wanted to let you know that I am currently reading Neverwhere. American Gods is on my to-read list.

[Dustin]

That is awesome, Varsha! I am sure you'll will love The Dark Tower as much (if not more) as King's Constant Reader's!!

[Jc11king]

Beginning 1984. I read what I call "a baby version" in high-school, but now I need to read the real thing!

[Dustin]

1984's a great, well-written story!

I hope you enjoy it!

[Varsha]

Thanks! have been putting it off until i bought my own copies of the series- i have dark tower and wizard and glass- will be filling in the blanks soon. am on running man at the moment and its addictive!

Insomnia -page 596

I loved this, thinking it to be a 4.5 star book. But I have hated the majority of the last 100 pages.
As of (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS: the part just after the women-care house shooting by Charlie Pickering. When Ralph and Lois go off with Old Dor, the book totally slipped away from me then.) END SPOILERS

[Michelle]

I'm just finishing up The Fall. Great book! It really keeps the face pace of The Strain and brings in some new characters to make things new. Can't wait for the next book.

[Dustin]

Cool, The Running Man's great, too!

Michelle - that is awesome news!
So what will you be reading next?

[Varsha]

yea- i am totally loving it- though i am trying to imagine if i read it and now knew it was king if i would figure out it was king.. from rage i could tell but running man.. maybe not!

This is the only book of his that I've read, so his style was new to me. Yes, I did find most of his endings quite abrupt, like in the story about the boy turning into an insect, Pop Art, (which was my favourite, what an amazing story!) and My Father's Mask. He leaves alot up to the reader to work out, giving bits and pieces here and there, which I liked, but sometimes it felt like there needed to be more to the story, that it ended kindof mid-sentance, so to speak.

What did you think of it? The first story just hit me like a brick wall, it was such a shocker of a tale. I have thought about them quite a bit, once I finished the lot, which has to be the mark of a great writer.

[Nilofer]

Oh, forgot to say, started Under the Dome two days ago, its so good to read a new SK!!! Like putting on a warm, old pair of socks before sitting before a fire and relaxing...

Sounds good- its on my list as well as Duma Key ( all after the dark tower series!) will be very interested to see the production that steven spielberg does with it! have they released any further info?

Mich..."

I just started reading The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow yesterday ... almost immediately after finishing The Fall.

[Bondama]

Dustin, I was a bit disappointed by "The Fall", particularly as compared to "The Strain" -- middle books of a trilogy often do suffer from the comparison, as their primary object is just to keep the story going, but overall, I did enjoy it enough to keep anxiously waiting for the last one.

[Michael]

the waste lands (dark tower #3), finished the stand and am hooked on the dark tower series

Hi Michael,

The Waste Lands was my favorite book of the series. You have so much more good reading to look forward to though ... enjoy!

[Bondama]

Nilofer - I just wanted to thank you for putting an indefinable feeling into just the right words. There is absolutely no feeling in the world better than to curl up to a fire, raining outside, with a brand new, never read Stephen King book to start to read. My idea of heaven, nirvana, the Summerlands, whatever one wishes to call it. Just perfect.

[Scott]

I just finished Neverwhere. What a fantastic book.

Now I'm going to start The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove.

Oh, The Wasyelands is your favorite DT novel, Michelle?

[Kit★]

OMG I finally finished The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. Took me near 3 wks and that's the longest it has ever taken me to read one book. The action picked up in the second half, and it actually got interesting (though not awesome, or even great). I think I'm going to read Night Shift next, I need something a little more bite-sized :)
