LOL Dustin! After reading my post, I thought I would add that part at the end, in case that's what anyone was thinking. : )

Well thank goodness for that, Charlene!:) Thank you.

[Dustin]

I'm re-reading as part of the SK group's September read.

I'm really hoping to get further today!

I'm reading for my academy studies, and I'm loving it. Hope to finish it before the seminar. :)

I'm glad you're loving it, Ginta!:)

[Char]

Since I last posted I've read:
Alex I gave it 4*, it was excellent, but it was difficult to read at times. A couple loses their young son and are trying to cope.
The Harrowing This was a ghost story that seemed to peak way to early. It was ok, I gave it 3*.
Now I am reading the second book of that fantasy trilogy: The Wise Man's Fear. These were written by Patrick Rothfuss and I am just loving them. Epic fantasy, but not a lot of swordplay and fighting, (at least, not so far). I would recommend these books to anyone who enjoys fantasy.

Hi, Kit!

I've read some of McGuire's other work, and so I'd be interested in your thoughts on this one once you're done..:)

[Holly]

I'm currently reading The Bachman Books by Stephen King (Richard Bachman) and Strangers by Dean Koontz.

I think I am going to read The Bachman Books for my next King read. Can't wait to see how you like them. :)

I'm reading Rage right now, and I have to say it's pretty creepy so far.

[Dustin]

Yes, Rage is really quite disturbing, isn't it, Holly?

Just wait until you get to The Long Walk!

[Victor]

I'm am reading and a lot of other books, but since I said I wanted to read 1 book at a time what good would it do to rotate the other ones now!
Holly&Kathryn-so jealous of two! I hope to own the bachman books sometime.

The Bachman Books are AWESOME, Victor!! Hopefully you can locate a copy for yourself someday.:)

Sure! Which ones have you read? I read What-the-Dickens: The Story of a Rogue Tooth Fairy earlier this year, and about 5 or 6 years ago I read Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West and my copy of that one (along with about 10 other books) got ruined by a leaky air conditioner that was above the book shelf... made me sad. I want another copy to do a re-read and also find the others in that series. I enjoyed both of those books though, and would love to read more by Maguire. So far this one's not bad, I'm a little less than halfway through :D

I haven't gotten to that one yet. So far I've finished Rage, and I have to say it creeped me out.

Hi, Holly- I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! I think Rage is probably one of my favorite's of King's early work. It's so dark and vivid, and really speaks volumes about our society as a whole. It's very prophetic, as well.

[Char]

I think my favorite is The Long Walk. I remember just being....stunned when I first read it. : )

[Dustin]

Charlene wrote: "I think my favorite is The Long Walk. I remember just being....stunned when I first read it. : )"

Yes, The Long Walk IS incredibly stunning, Charlene!

[Tracy]

That was the one I wanted to read next. Several people have told me it was really good. Not sure why I haven't read it yet.

Hey Dustin. It was amazing. The whole way through it I just kept thinking "Oh wow." This is deffenately one that's going to stay with me.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much, Holly.. and didn't find it too terribly disturbing.:)

Thanks. I did find it disturbing in a way, but it was a good disturbing. The kind of disturbing that made me want to keep reading to find out what happens!

You are welcome.

[Kit★]

Finished Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. Still gotta get my review written. It was ok, not bad, but it didn't impress me really. I don't know if I just wasn't in the right mood and mind for it or if it just wasn't that awesome. I think I might hang on to it in my collection for awhile, maybe give it a re-read one day a few years from now and see if I like it better. Either that or put it in my to-swap box. Haven't decided yet...
Don't know what to read next either... I'm thinking I might need a King fix, maybe that's why I'm having problems being satisfied by anything lately... Maybe Bag of Bones or The Green Mile, it's been a good long while since I've read either of them... We'll see what calls to me when I go rootin' through the ol' TBR cupboard.

[Char]

BTW, the Kindle version of The Green Mile is on sale at Amazon today for only $5.99. (Down from $7.99).

Sounds great, Kit!
I'm looking forward to reading your review.

Have you read Slaughter, Dustin?

I was listening to Inheritance and only made it half way. I really need yo get the book so I can finish.

[Kit★]

I still haven't made it into Brisingr yet... Was so excited to go buy it, and then read a few pages and set it down and have yet to go back to it, and that was a couple of months ago...

[Kit★]

Not yet... only the first two so far... and I've watched the movie a bunch of times b/c I love Jeremy Irons, lol. :D And I'm waiting for Inheritance to come out in trade p.b to match my other three :)
