Stephen King? That's a good book.

Yes. Not all people read Stephen King or Michael Crichton. Any particular reason why you haven't read a Stephen King book?

Haven't had any in easy reach, never felt the need to, and generally not my genre of choice.

Well, if you feel the need to read a good, non-horror, book by Stephen King, try The Dead Zone. Great writing.

Far better. Can't go into details without giving away story points, though.

Just finished re-reading Up the Line, by Silverberg
Starting on a Poul Anderson, that I don't remember
liking.

My meager collection here is sorely taxed. :-\

i love the TV series. but i love Stephen King books. i had like a dozen of them when i could read. i've given up on the idea now, for now. unless i can be fixed, i'm not reading anything. :( i used to read them halfway anyway. :laugh: then i thought wow, what a great book, how have i concentrated so well? and it was out of the window. then it was too good to read in peace.

I read really slowly, and I have ADHD out the yang so it's really hard for me to concentrate.  Think that's why I love the Russian writers.  They kicked in so well with me that I was forced to pay attention.  I read the Brothers Karamazov in 8 days, and I still can't believe I managed that.

Right now I'm reading The Fourth Way by P.D. Ouspensky, and Other Colors:  Essays and a Story by Orhan Pamuk.  I'll be reading these forever.   :-[
