Welcome to the fun - how neat that you were able to find several qualifiers that you've already read.

I know! I was happy about that, Cheryl!

[Debra]

Was able to strike the year of my birth off my list while reading the same book for the Classics challenge! Woohoo!

[Cheryl]

Nifty!

[Debra]

This is a fun group! Thanks, Judy and Cheryl!

Even in non-fiction, Steven King can write 400 pages. :) Danse Macabre looks interesting though.

[Debra]

LOL, yeah sai King isn't known for writing short books!

[Janice, Moderator]

Speaking of short books... a friend of mine lent me her cd's of Kings, UR yesterday. :)

I really enjoyed listening to UR. There are references to the Dark Tower series in it.

[Janice, Moderator]

I haven't read the Dark Tower series yet. I think I read The Gunslinger years back when it first came out. I know it was his first foray into a fantasy series. The reality is, I don't really remember. :(

[Debra]

I can't say enough good things about the Dark Tower series. If you decide to give it a try, please don't stop at the Gunslinger. At least read The Drawing of the Three before you decide whether to continue. I'd love to know what you think!

[Janice, Moderator]

Oh I will let you know. :)

[Debra]

I'm making headway!

Are you going to hold off on Lord of the Flies for the April TBR Toppler?

I've got a 600 page clunker on my Year Long challenge that will also be my attempt at the TBR Toppler.

[Debra]

I love big books, but not sure I'd like to try one during our challenge.
