I also finished Gone Girl(fabulous)and Every Secret Thing(meh)"I finished the Wool Omnibus around a week ago - it was wonderful - I recommend it highly. Still think about it a lot. Gone Girl was also great. I'm currently reading a book that been on my e-reader for over a year,
Before The Poison by Peter Robinson. Enjoying it very much.
I just started Ted Dekker's Black with the hope to read the entire Circle series. Through the first 100 pages, has a very Talisman type of feel to me.

I just finished reading
by William Peter Blatty. The Exorcist is an engrossing, gripping, disturbing and well-written supernatural tale. I really enjoyed this novel. I thought the author's writing style was excellent. I found it very hard to put this book down for long. I just had to know what happened next even though I've seen the movie half a dozen times! It didn't frighten me to death but it did scare me a good bit! Even though the book is over forty years old, except for a bit of seventies slang here and there, it really isn't dated at all. The Exorcist is one of the best horror novels that I've read in a long time. Even if you've already seen the movie a hundred times I'd recommend reading the novel as it's a lot better than the movie!My full review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Now I'm about to start
by William Landay.
Yay! Cujo has my favorite opening sentence in a King novel!
Cujo is the absolute best of the best apart from David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas.

. It's alright so far"This book really creeped me out, maybe it was just the right setting, or I was in the right mood but it ranks in my top ten scariest books I've read.

Ethan wrote: "Yeah sadly I'm not consistent. Ill blow through several books then I wont read much for weeks lol."Well, I'm sure your job keeps you fairly busy most of the time, doesn't it?
Ethan wrote: "Sometimes for sure. The busiest time is the summer though. So it's kinda slow now."Oh, okay. That makes sense.
Loving it so far, mate, bout a hundred pages in. Got Rose Madder for Christmas too, looking forward to that one too
Dustin wrote: "Awesome! I love Rose Madder!!"I've heard mixed things about it but it sounds good from the back of the book

It's one of my favorites. I hope you like it.:)
Going to start Thinner today which is the last of the king books that I bought last year but haven't read yet. And after that The shining or maybe I'll take a break from king and read Dracula.
Aye that's what happened with me too haha Worst thing was I already had a copy at home and didn't realise it!
I'm about to start My Thoughts Be Bloody: The Bitter Rivalry Between Edwin and John Wilkes Booth that Led to an American Tragedy by Nora Titone.
Just finished Lisey's Story. Onto the next book. Trying to decide what to read next. On my list are either 11/22/63 or The Stand, but as both are gigantic I'm also tempted to instead read The Running Man to mix things up. I have yet to read any of these. Any thoughts?
Those are some very hard choices Matthew; they were all fantastic!I just read The Running Man not that long ago and had a hard time putting it down. Maybe reading that one next would be a nice change for you. :-)

My all-time favorite King.
Hey Matthew- I am listening the the 11-22-63 audiobook and really like it. I was born in 1959 so it is a bit nostalgic for me. Just my 2 cents! Matthew wrote: "Just finished Lisey's Story.

I've just finished
by William Landay. Defending Jacob is a well-written, disturbing and gripping crime thriller with plenty of twists and turns throughout the novel to keep you interested. I really enjoyed this book. I was hooked from the very beginning to the end. The reader is kept guessing as to whether Jacob is innocent or guilty until the very end of the novel. Throughout the trial I kept changing my mind about whether Jacob was guilty or not. I thought this was a excellent read so I’m giving it a well-deserved five stars!http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Now I'm about to start
by Jamie Ford.
