I'm about 200 pages in, really good so far.

Are you reading the regular version, or the uncut version?


Right now for book club we're reading this:

The movie was pretty good, so hopefully the book will be outstanding.

I'm also still wading thru Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Almost finished with book five, Wolves of the Calla. Each book just gets better and more mind boggling.

I hope you enjoy Gone Baby Gone more than I did. It's a shame too because I really liked Mystic River and Shutter Island (before they were movies </hipster>) but that one didn't do anything for me. I think I got about 200 pages before I gave up, which is also disheartening.

Just finished Woman on the Edge of Time, which was very good. I love a book that ends with such uncertainty and such an abrupt turn of events.

I have just begun Tom Robbins' Another Roadside Attraction, which should be interesting.

Gone Baby Gone isn't bad - my Mom had me read it, because she has a total boner for anything Dennis Lehane.

Also, Dark Tower:

They do keep getting better and better, but - I am warning you now - Book 7, the final book, will wrench out your soul. There will be an entire 200+ page section that will be so hard to read because you will be completely and utterly annihilated inside.

I've warned people of this before, and they've been like, "Psh, books don't usually hit me THAT hard. You're just sensitive," and then come to me later saying, "Jesus Christ, you were right. I still feel depressed and destroyed because of that book."

You're the second person to tell me something along these lines. And I don't doubt it. It makes me terrified and excited simultaneously. I'm just about to start book 6, which appears to be shorter, so my plan is to rush through it to get to 7.

And I would never be one of the people to tell you that you were being to sensitive. Books have more power to whip my emotions up into a frenzy than any movie does.

I still have never read any of the Dark Tower books. I'll definitely have to remedy that at some point!
