Stephen King Fans discussion

I just finished Dead Until Dark and really liked it. Now, I am reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles and a memoir called Happens Every Day. I like both so far.

Just started Suffer the Children...my introduction to John Saul. Surprisingly mild dialog..for horror anyway.

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and The Olympians #1)

Wow--Suffer the Children. That takes me back to high school and one of the books that started me down horror fandom.

Just finished Hero by Perry Moore. A different take on the superhero genre that is extremely well done.

Starting Owen Kings' Double Feature next.

Lynn, please tell me Suffer the Children is worthwhile and memorable. So far I find the prose and dialog to read like a book from a middle school reading list. Then again Im coming straight from authors like King, Lee, Straub and Laymon.

Well, Eric... I read this book when I was either in middle school or high-school which was @35 years ago. What my young self thought of the book was enough to lead me to more horror books. What my adult self would think of the book... lacking any real style. I did leave John Saul behind long ago and have thought about trying some of his later works to see how they fare.

I am guessing you are familiar with Cemetery Dance Publications? The publish all the authors you just listed, among others.

I'm currently reading Into the Dark. Brilliant thriller.

After completing the gigantic & draining IT, I wanted a lighter read.Here is my review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....
So I started off with The Winner by David Baldacci.

I'll be starting The Kill Roomtomorrow.

I am reading the tommyknockers by Stephen king

Richard Laymon's "no sanctuary". Pretty slow so far and I'm almost halfway through.

I began Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler.

When I first started reading this book I thought it was going to be quite complicated but after about 70 pages I settled right into it and loved it as much as the rest of the Lincoln Rhyme series.

That one's not so good. Island, Body Rides or Flesh are probably his best. Avoid Beware and Bite

One Rainy Night's awesome, but the explanation at the end wasn't so good. If you ignore that and just concentrate on the action it's one of his best

Skeleton Crew by Stephen king. The first story "The Mist" was awesome!

A widow for one year by John Irving

Creepy as f*ck. But really good. Bundy suddenly became 3 dimensional and lost some of that 'genius' people usually talk about in reference to him and his crimes.
He was also a compulsive nose picker.

And I'm reading Psycho by Robert Bloch.

So glad you posted this. My 21 year old son, husband and I just got our conceal/carry licenses. I am new to guns and am reading this book along with my son, who is breezing through it. Love it when I find a book for my sons and they actually read it! Thank you.

I finished The King of Plagues and Assassin's Code. Now I'm going to start Extinction Machine.

2/3 through Triage and liking it pretty well.

A FEAST FOR CROWS!!!!! I'm liking it so far. I'm on Aeron Greyjoy's chapter The Prophet.

try "Resurrection Dreams" and "Night in lonesome October" they are really good too- I loved body rides

I'm currently reading The Hour I First Believed

I started Rage! It seems awesome, and it's shorter than his other books, which is good since I still haven't recovered from the last long book I read.

Rage is my favorite King short story. It's ahead of it's time, Costas.

Im reading Last Days by Adam Nevill, so far so good.

I'm re-reading The Shining.
I run a book club on Facebook and August is Books-Into-Films Month and I'm writing a review of the book and film and how they compare.
I'm afraid the movie just....sucks balls...hardcore.

Reading: 11/22/63 page 247 out of 849. Have to read it on my days off though...I do 10 hour shifts, and the book is too interesting to read during the days I have to work.

I 'm reading under the dome, page 713 out of 1133.Amazing book so far.

FINALLY started A Game of Thrones. I really hope it will live up to the hype...

I normally only read one book at a time, however, due to my ebooks arriving through the library, I'm currently reading a few. :S Under the Dome and The Good Nurse
