I'll be checking the film out as soon as i finish the book though :-)
I am currently reading Needful Things and The Shinning by Stephen King. During the day time I am reading the 48 Laws of Power.
Sam...great ones. Btw....thought The Strain was great...interested to hear what you think once you read.
Just staring 11-22-63 and totally psyched about it. Last King book I read was Under the Dome, which I tore through in a few days. I'm going to be reviewing Doctor Sleep, looking forward to that big time, wondering if I should re-read The Shining first :)
I'm re-reading The Shining in anticipation of Dr. Sleep. Can't wait.
Just started The Last Tycoon and A Game of Thrones, also re-reading The Gunslinger.

"That is an excellent read, hope you enjoy it :D
Just started Insomnia...again for the second time. I started it several years ago, but got sidetracked and never finished it. I'm about 200+ pages in and things are getting weird.

Started A Clash of Kings, second book the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series. 800 pages, I wonder how long it will take me...
Just finished 314 by A. R. Wise. Really good! Now i'm readin 314 book 2.
Found a copy of Doctor Sleep at my local library this morning, so far about 150 pages in, really good. I'm glad I never had to buy a copy of a new King book ever again in hardcover as my library has multiple copies of the book on the release date.
Wow, sounds like you've got an awesome library Kevin!
Michelle wrote: "Wow, sounds like you've got an awesome library Kevin!"Thanks! I think they get the new King books because they get all the New York Times Bestsellers, and they know it will be a bestseller.

I still have yet to read Horns, but I agree, I think Heart-Shaped Box is still my favorite. Don't get me wrong, though, this is an excellent tale.

I became a huge fan after reading that one too! That book spooked me pretty bad. This one is great too, but I'm not quite as scared.
Alan Bennett's biography 'A Life Like Other Peoples'. Not my usual read but my God, this man has had an interesting life! Well worth a read by the great writer of 'The History Boys'. :)
I started with 1984
. Had not read a book in some time,what better way to get back to reading than starting an all time classic.
Michelle wrote: "Loved 1984 Aditya! Enjoy :D"Finished 1984 a wonderful book.What amazed me the most was that it is still a great read & relevant even 70 years after its publication,true classic.
Didn't he show amazing foresight Aditya?! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Michelle wrote: "Didn't he show amazing foresight Aditya?! Glad you enjoyed it :)"Agree the ending is also befitting which really adds to the book,I can think of a lot of modern authors who would shy away from such a bleak conclusion simply because it would sell less books.

Yeah, NOS4A2 is not scary; just very nicely "off" and a little twisted. like someone has escaped from a mental institution and is wreaking havoc...
Just finished 172 Hours on the Moon, which was a lot of fun and creepy. Starts off the month of October, just right.Just started Fire and Ash last night, and it is bittersweet. I am not ready for the Rot & Ruin series to end. I guess that means, more Joe Ledger... :D
I have been reading a lot of John le Carre's novels, but today I picked up a couple by Bernard Cornwell. First I will read Enemy of God, then 1356

I started with The Simple Truth
by David Baldacci.It started strong but at midway mark it had started resorting to cliches & coincidences.
Completed The Simple Truth
another disappointing book by David Baldacci.I enjoyed his later books but coming back to his older books now seem like a mistake.
