Music Banter - What are you reading right now?

Only my second Stephen King book, the first being his newest Under The Dome. I thought it started a little slow, but it's picking up so much speed now I don't see how it could stop. Really creepy. It actually had me walking through my house a couple nights ago with the lights off, thinking surely some creature would reach out of the shadows and grab my neck. That's some good readin'.

Check out The Long Walk, he wrote it under the pseudonym of Richard Bachmen and was probably the first ever "f*cked up" book I ever read.

Will do for sure. I'm thinking of starting my own Stephen King marathon, so I'll definitely be checkin' that one out.

I read this one recently. Recommended to me by AwwSugar. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting, witty, very funny but while managing to retain a rather sad feeling throughout. I've never read anything like it before.

I have so many books I have never read so I've been looking through all of them and I may give this a go next.

I just finished three chapters in my Microbiology text and I loved it.

"Environmental factors that influence microbes"
"Physical Methods of Microbial Control"
"Microbial Genetics" (my favorite!)

How's this one?

Kind of like Mark Twain on amphetamines. Faulkner's main gimmick is his use of crazy characters and their viewpoints, and this is no different. Aside from a few weird-out moments it's nothing too dramatically impressive so far. I'm almost done, so I'll re-evaluate it later. Suffice it to say that The Sound and the Fury is Faulkner's best stuff by miles and miles.

I tried Faulkner (As I lay dying actually) a few years back but found the language too exhausting.
