Have you met eyez or seven? Don't, they are huge King fans, they'll defend him to the hilt. Just to warn ya.

Pft, my favorite author is myself, cause I'm just so awesome'n'stuff.

Anyhow, holy Cripes and be'Jeezus I can relate to what the last few posts said. When I'm in public and I see a person reading a book I do everything in my power to see what it is they hold in their hands. I'll crane my neck, walk in circles (testing the angles and what not), stalk them from yards behind and stare at the binding held between their palm and waist.

Grrrr...

Why is it the book always seems to just out of the damn proper angle?

Actually, I'm also a big fan of King... apart from "The Tommyknockers", which I thought was waaaay too long. :(

When you resort to using a candle for light to finish your book when you should be sleeping...hehe... As for trying to see what people read, I do that all the time...And you know when your in decorating stores or furniture stores, and the sales person is trying to get you to buy this expencive couch and you just nod, trying to look like your paying attention, when really, your staring at the couple books that are on the night-table and wondering if they are for sale...

Thank you, guys! I really thought I was the only person who paid attention to those "books" on decorating/furniture stores... You've made my day!

When you're bleeding in the ER and waiting to see the Doc you are trying to see what the guy across from you is reading.

When you're in the toilet... and end up reading the ingredients of a deodorant when there's nothing else to read.

i'm new but i thought i could relate since i read every post until i got to this point. hee hee. i have almost every symptom described, especially the stalking another reader to find out what the title there bogarting is, but i thought i might bring up another one. it may have been posted and i missed it.

does anyone else have the problem where they cannot see, touch, taste, smell, or hear anything else while they are reading? i completely block everything out and my husband complains about it. i don't hear him b/c i'm reading but i get a summarized version once i put the book down.

just curious.

Something just occured to me the other day. Every time I finish a novel I really enjoy I immediately go to Amazon and click on all the one-star reviews. Harsh criticisms are always entertaining.


And to SFG: STOP MAKING FUN OF ME! :mad: :(
