I absolutely love The Shining and Salem's Lot, also Misery, Carrie, Dead Zone and Geralds Game.

I repeat, how does it not flow?

They certainly serve their purpose, scaring the **** out of me. Love Stephen King. Now let's think... he writes scary books obviously they will be (ok some of them) melodramatic. If you want real horror go read Helter Skelter or something.

Anywaaaay I finished Lost Boy the other day cand can't choose between Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov or Siouxsie and the Banshees biography HA.

re horror - he's been brought up a couple of times already but HP Lovecraft is mental, mostly short stories so you can read one a night before bed.
Salem's Lot is a classic, how can you fail to get the chills?

I ordered this yesterday. it's probably going to deflate the mystique surrounding one of my idols, still

I just wish it would hurry up & come out.

It's been delayed for something like 2 years.

Yeah, I love Doestevsky. Crime and Punishment is one of my favorites, but haven't yet gotten up the nerve to take The Brothers Karamazov. I have a genuine fear of commitment with novels of that thickness.

Is that good sick or bad sick.

Molecules · 04-25-2008, 11:19 AM

that's 'extreme sports' sick. ie good. it's just amazing. crime and punishment is just too intimidating for me to get started on.

I already have my bathroom reading already sorted..

And although this is of probably no interest to anybody i'm also reading this at the moment.

It's always good to get those 36 novel long alt-universe plot arcs out of the way , one more book to go after this
