What are you reading right now?

i havent read that yet, have you read anything else by Joe Hill..."
I have also read both of his other books, and i agree i liked Horns alot better. But both were really good, he truly has his fathers talent.

I am new to this group but wanted to post that I am reading the new Bentley Little book "The Disappearance". Just got it yesterday. It's starting out pretty good. Do any of you like Bentley Little?? He is one of my favorites besides Stephen King.

I read



Now I have to finish 20th Century Ghost before the library takes takes it from my Nook.

I have nothing really lined up after that, most of the books on my "to-read" list are not in my possession at the moment. Gotta pick some stuff up.

I so cool that I just joined the group and I saw that you all are also reading the Wasted Lands : D



I really enjoyed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Looking forward to checking out the next one at some point.


Good evening, Michelle!! It's good to know that you finished FDNS!!
I'm reading a book called Summer of secrets by Richie Tankersley Cusick.
It's from a collection called Point Horror, you've probably heard of them. Cool little books by loads of different authors.
I've almost finished it, they're like 150-250 pages long in each book and you normally read them in a day to 2. They're great books if you just want a quick burst of horror, that's kinda teenager-ish and fun to read.
I enjoy them.

As for me, I'm slowly making my way through Beloved, and I am also reading A Thousand Slendid Suns.






I need to get a copy of it! Finished the gunslinger and now looking for a secondhand copy! enjoy:)

Oh, okay. Do you think you'd read the follow-up to The Passage? I, for one, am really looking forward to knowing which direction(s) the story will take.
Btw, I also love The Stand!



I knew you loved "The Stand" - but you really should try some of the other books I mentioned. Each, in their own way, is every bit as memorable as "The Stand" (well....mostly so!)


I asked for this book for Christmas... I've heard mixed things about it...

- The Mysterious Mr. Quin by Agatha Christie
- Agatha Christie Secret Notebooks by John Curran
- How to win Friends by Dale Carnegie
- and, of course, The Waste Lands, Dark Tower 3

Martha .... Dale Carnegie????????

Me too! It's pretty good right now, but if I know King he'll take a turn in a direction I'm not expecting and I'll probably be upset about it. :)

Okay. Thank you, Bondama. What's A Canticle for Leibowitz like? I've been curious about that one for a long time...

Anyway -- "A Canticle for Liebowitz" is a post-apocalyptic book, after the Big Bomb (or whatever has wiped out most of civilization. While on a fast in the (I think Utah) desert, a priest comes across some of the Old Knowledge (from before -) He agonizes over whether or not to spread this knowledge will simply start the same cycle over again -- I know I'm making it sound boring, and I don't mean to, because it's a book that meant a tremendous amount to me (and to others -- This book won the Hugo Award the year it was published. But you really owe it to yourself to read this one, and "A Boy and His Dog" -another Hugo winner - it's actually a novella, and it's by one of my BIG time (and SK's BIG time favorite writers) - Harlan Ellison. If you don't know him, he wrote the one and only original "Star Trek" episode to win an Emmy. He's absolutely brilliant.

I know, my computer isn't the best, but I am grateful for what I have...
Anyway, I will definitely look into A Canticle For Liebowitz. I appreciate your input. Speaking of Sai King, didn't he recommend "A Canticle" in On Writing? I think it's in there. Btw, I have heard of Harlan Ellison, and knew that I wrote an episode for the original Star Trek. I did not realize that he wrote a novella, though.
Have a great day!!


Now onto The Waste Lands.

Is it bad? I was going to start it in January.

You really liked Heart-Shaped Box ? I had a really hard time getting through that for some reason. I even ended up putting it down for a little while. Maybe its just me, because my friend that borrowed it raved about it.
