Stephen King Fans discussion

Done with killing floor. I found it to be almost unreadable. Far too many periods when commas would have sufficed. Constant short sentences really break the immersion for me, so I'm going with my back up choice...Cold Fire by Dean Koontz.

Reading "Leviathan Wakes" by James S. A. Corey. Really liking this book.

I'm reading Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander.

Reading and I am enjoying the economic style despite the longish descriptive passages. The characters leap off the pages in this book. I love when that happens. It took about 160 pages for me to decide I wanted to go forward with this read, but it has really taken off since.

k.l i only managed 2 jack reacher books and i will not be reading another while there are so many good books out there

Of all the movies you did work with I had seen Mission Impossible not really one of my favorite action series & the plot was a bit confusing but not so much that people can't follow it.

Same here, read Killing Floor after hearing a lot of good things about Jack Reacher series but came away completely disappointed. I still went on to read the second book in the series against my better judgement & it was filled with even more crap. I feel Jack Reacher books are probably the most over-rated series I have ever read.

Had not seen the movie as I had heard it is pretty bad but glad to know you enjoyed it.

i read 2 reacher books which were far apart in the series they were very samey and just not good enough to bother trying another

Got my work cut out for me at the moment:

Don Quixote
Les Misérables
Magyk
The Bell Jar
An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life

Shell, you're like me. I'm reading:
Black House
The Green Mile
A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold
Magician
NOS4A2
and a book which isn't properly listed on here, called "My Secret Admirer"

You're reading some great books Lucy! Magician is one of my favourites and I also really liked The Green Mile and NOS4A2. I need to revisit Black House and I'm not quite up to A Storm of Swords :)

Magician is great! I am on the 4th right now (A Darkness at Sethanon). I read the first 4 years ago, but now that Feist is done with all 30 books in the series, I started over and I am going to read them all!

Got finsh reading both Killing Floor & Black House i loved both. I am a big fan of Stephen King so i knew i would love it. And this is the first book i read by Lee Child but i loved it going have to read his other books.

Now i am starting on Did You Miss Me? by Karen Rose i am really loving it so far i am on page 200 right now. I have read almost every book of this series and so far love them all.

When i get done reading that book here the next books i going read
The Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane
Still Life by Louise Penny
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult
Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill

Just finished "One day in a life of Ivan Denisovich" by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and started "Doctor Sleep" :)

The Regulators! It's nuts!

I am reading Thinner by SK.

The Passage by Justin Cronin. Halfway through and I understand why King thinks so highly of this book. There is a thematic similarity to The Stand, but this one should resonate with readers on its own merits.

My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell.

I'm reading Bhai yKevin O'Brien.

Making History - Brian Friel

Modern Drama: Plays of the 80s and 90s.

IF ANY OF YOU GET THE CHANCE TO READ EITHER THE PLAY tOp GiRlS or HyStErIa I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

Reading Love in the Time of Cholera, Because We Can (a thriller by John P. Locke), and listening to the audio-books of 50 Shades.

Nice combo - well the first two. ;)

I've only read El Coronel no Tiene Quien le Escribe by Marquez but I've been meaning for absolute years to read Love in the Time of Cholera because of the movie Serendipity.

Just Finished The Library Policeman the third story in Four Past Midnight & I believe it is the best King novella I have read so far.

I just finished the latest Alex Cross titled Cross My Heart by James Patterson. It was very good, getting back to the way the series used to be long ago. Now I'm reading King and Maxwell by David Baldacci. Loved the last one.

I'm reading We Need To Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver. I hope it gets better, I'm already having a difficult time getting through it.

The Green Mile

I'm reading 11-22-63 and God, No! Signs You May Already Be An Athesist by Penn Jillette.

Stick with it. I found the first half to be dry and hard to get through but finished the second half of the book within days.

hang in there linda its an awesome book, i really hated it at the start but so glad i stuck with it

Finished Four Past Midnight another great collection of King novellas with The Library Policeman being the best in the bunch.

Just recently finished Stage Whispers: The Collected Timmy Quinn Stories . It was really good, I immediately went to Amazon to get the finale.

The Passage

It feels like this book will never end!

I felt the same way about The Passage....

I'm almost through Wizard and Glass and then I plan to deviate from the Dark Tower a little....

I'm reading the Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly it's pretty good so far. I just finished 13 reasons why. That is an awesome book to read. It's about a teenagers story of why and who played a part in her suicide. It's like you're with her talking to her as you read it.

Got Done reading
The Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane *LOVE IT*
Still Life by Louise Penny *Didnt care too much*
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult *LOVE IT*
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill *LOVE IT HE REMIND ME SO MUCH OF HIS FATHER.*
