Do prisons have libraries? That wouldn't be so bad...if it stocks Stephen King I could at least finish The Stand.Bet they ban Shawshank Redemption.
My favorite SK movie (well, I haven't seen very many) is Secret Window. I want to read THAT someday.(and it is NOT just my favorite because it has Johnny Depp.)
Four Past Midnight
Ooh! Pretty. It's really a much better story than it translated to screen. (I love Johnny Depp, so I overlooked that)
Different Seasons
[image error]
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption is "Hope Springs Eternal". Each story is a season. There's "The Body" (Stand By Me) which was Fall From Innocence, Apt Pupil (also a horrible movie) which was Summer of Corruption, and The Breathing Method, A Winter's Tale. That last one was my least favorite King story.
I really like putting those book covers on here! It makes me feel "technical"!!!! Thanks Fiona, for telling me how;)
lol. I have to read Graceling and Howl's Moving Castle next since they are ILL and I can't renew them.
lol. Well, Howl's isn't even in yet. The library just called about Graceling. I do have until March 16th to read it...I think I can handle that.THERE IS SO MUCH I WANT TO READ!!! I am so frustrated. I don't mind pushing ahead on things people suggest though, because at least I know they'll be good. :)
Is it YA, or regular? Is it technical, legal, or just mysterious? Have you read them all?My darn cell phone is acting up.
I don't think its been printed in the US...I got my copy used on Amazon though for $2, plus $4 shipping of course.
Is it from England?I sometimes have to buy new Colleen McCullough books on E-Bay because they are never released here as quickly as I would like! I hate that.

It doesn't mean I don;t enjoy the, I really do, it just makes it ha..."I have only seen perry Mason on tv and it wasn't bad but didn't ever enjoy it. I adore Agatha Christie books. I collect them in some way and have them mostly in dutch version, some in english and a whole serie of them in french with a nice hard blue, old looking cover. I am forever grateful to ehr because thanks to her I adore reading since I was like 7 years old.

But he isn't a looser if he is reading it too!!!
Allison wrote: "Is The Divide good? When someone had the gall to check out The Loop before me, I picked up The Divide...but maybe I should just return it and wait for The Loop."Read The divide. the loop is my favourite and msot intense but they all have like something different and end up grabbing people and absorbing them completely. So I would go with the divide for now.
My grandmother has nook shelves just sompletely overflowing with Christie, Perry Mason and things like that. I would devour them at her house on visits. I absolutely adored them! I just can't ever keep them straight. When I am sick, they are the perfect books to read, as I feel I have an old friend with me.I wish you would try to read just one Erle Stanley Gardner. I bet you would like it.

Jeane-Since you guys like homemade pizza, and it seems clear you only eat the veggie kind, I have a question. I like veggies too, and I love tons of mushrooms on my pizza, but when I make it, I like them over the sauce, but below the cheese. They seem to cook to the perfect texture that way. Have you tried that?

I read my first Agatha Christie last year... Murder on the Orient Express. It was pretty good. Jeane, how are you enjoying Outlander?
Allison: I always pay someone to do my taxes because they are complicated. This year will be worse!
Glad to hear Salem's Lot is good. I need to read that one.
I have to say, that is one I think I may never have read! Obvously it's the one most people have heard of, but I think I never read it because of the movie. You should definitely read more, Jackie!
Prison's in the US are apparently easy going. Like it would teach anyone to not committ crimes. I do believe they get access to some internet. They can even complete degrees.
Shawshank isn't that scary I think it's more, thought provoking.
I do believe that they have libraries in Prisons still. I know that they do get to do college courses.

I really liked Secret Window. I think I have it on my TBR list.
Fiona you are the Book Pusher!
Emilee-Do you mean the story or the movie? I liked both, but of course, the book is way better. For sure read it if you haven't!Varga girls are the best. My brother had a calendar of them that he kept years out of date!
The movie haven't read the book yet but would like too!
So Fiona wants us to hit 8000 posts by this weekend. We have 2051 to go. We better get typing!

Laura-Sorry it took so long to reply. I really love my ring, and am very glad my REAL ring is still in there. I think it was a thoughtful compromise.
