Getting ready to read A Clash of Kings, in earnest. Have been a little distracted with all the noise in this house, so wasn't able to concentrate on it. I did finish Child 44, though. :D
I'm reading Bloodfever.I'm still listening to Flashback, but I'm not really enjoying it. I'm seriously considering giving up on this one.

Still reading, I'm about 70 pages in, good so far, but still laying it all out. I think it's about to really start moving though.
Glad to see you are enjoying The Passage, Marc-Antoine.Finally finished The Town and The City (for the record had a great Sunday, got all the outdoor/yardwork down by noon and pretty much read the rest of the day, only wish I had gotten some writing done today too).
Once my eyes are rested will start on

20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill."As a Sai King constant reader, you will be sure to enjoy getting to know Joe Hill. Great choice!
Since they are now available as ebooks, I am finally reading the Harry Potter books, about 60% through book 4 goblet of fire. Then after finishing the series, I plan on reading the next Odd Tomas book coming out here soon.
Just finished Hell House by Richard Matheson. I read somewhere that Stephen King was influenced by Matheson's style. It is a great book.

Just finished A Life Too Short: The Story of Robert Enke
... a biography of Robert Enke, a german goalkeeper who suffered from depression throughout his career and ended up taking his own life.I can only recommend it. 5/5...
Now I'm starting up on The Windup Girl
... really looking forward to this one ;-)

I've only read 2 of his books, Hell House and I Am Legend. Both were amazing. Have you read any of his books?
I'm in a King phase right now, just got done read Under the Dome for the first time and now I'm re-reading IT for probably my 20th time. Just found out that Cary Fukunaga will be directing a two film big screen version of IT and that got me wanting to do a re-read.

I've actually only read A Stir of Echoes by Matheson, which I absolutely loved, and I'd like to read more of his work. Thank you for asking, Staci.

I've finished reading The Client by John Grisham last night and now I'm reading Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon.

That is my favorite trilogy of all-time. I miss those characters a lot.
I'm reading Tick Tock by Dean Koontz - my second Koontz, and since I hated the only other one I read, I never planned on reading another but was drawn to the creepy little doll on the cover of this one.I'm also listening to Child 44.
Crystal wrote: "I am reading The Prodigal Son Frankenstein by Dean Koontz. Its pretty good so far,although I prefer King over Koontz."I hope you enjoy them more than I did, Crystal.:)
I've finished reading Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon and now I'm a couple of chapters into Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James.

I thought the writing excellent and the story well-put. I liked the fact that it wasn't all blood and gore; but the characters surrounding this horror. I hope you enjoy.
Crystal wrote: "I am reading The Prodigal Son Frankenstein by Dean Koontz. Its pretty good so far,although I prefer King over Koontz."I love the Frankenstein series by Koontz. They are in my favorites.
Finished Double Cross: The Explosive, Inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America. If it was true, I now know who killed Kennedy.Now I'm reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

The Secret Speech and Agent 6, are also excellent.

Haven't logged on in a while ... Actually, I was pumped to read this since I had read
and really liked it and I really like the movie Fight Club (haven't read it). My sister has been bugging me to read it telling me that people had passed out during author reading of "Guts," etc. So, I delve in. Granted "Guts" was nasty. Really nasty, but it wasn't an original story. I had heard stuff like it before, but who knows, maybe it had all come from this short story. Either that or I just don't get grossed out like some people do. Granted, I did grimace while I was reading it. ANyway, I think Palaniuk should have placed the whammy somewhere toward the end. Starting the collaction off with the grossest of the bunch made the rest of the book kind of a let down. There were one or two other gems in there and I liked the "Canterbury Tales" like style.

I liked that book. A bit different of a change in direction from The Outsiders.
