I'm not sure what kind, but here's the titles of things I am currently reading or planning to read, in no particular order (alphabetical or otherwise, I'll jot them down as they pop to mind) It, Gerald's Game, and Needful Things, Stephen King Stuff by Poe The Smoke Jumper, Nicholas Evans...

Well, let's just say he's gotten old then. Also, I was not pointing towards the money as a factor but more as a supplement to my main point. Stephen King had become bored with how he originally wrote and wanted something new. Now, it's debatable whether his new work is up to par with his old...

Finishing my novel (point and laugh, I'll join in--but all my shorts have been becoming larger against my own will, and even though I wanted to hold off until I was older before attempting something big, I've decided to jump in early), as it's already been deep in progess during my school year...

But everyone loves the waffle. It just tastes so good.

Well, I just finished earlier today what I'm sure is considered one of Stephen King's "classics." However--and I'll give him benefit of the doubt for this, still being in the early stages of his career--I found the story to be a bit flat, and was freaked to see that the magnificent colossus The...

Calm down, sadist.

I honestly don't think the car did it. Let's look at this at a more introspective angle (at least let's try to). Stephen King has been around for quite some time. He's made himself rich as %&^# off writing. Now, when he already has the money to retire, should he stick with a simple prose of...

I swear to God if I turn on CNN next week to see a report saying "religious zealot is found hung in closet," I am going to feel incomprehensibly guilty.

I've always found the idea of marriage to be something which bonded two people together through love and commitment, not through a penis and a vagina (sorry, but may I be blunt?) I'm not going to try and hop across the board and pinpoint every reason for why we should/should not allow this in...

Wow, quick responses--and those both sounded great in their own right. I wish I remembered my first attempt (I'm 16 for Christ's sake, I should know), but a lot of my younger days--and now I sound like an old man--were shrouded by some dark blanket of insecurity. Problem with me, I believe, was...

Is it just me, or did it seem that at Dumbledore's murder that Draco had no real sense of himself? I keep thinking that there's going to be some quick "redemption," scene for him, and he's going to end up dying. I'm sure that this is most likely not true, as Rowling has portrayed him in the...

The cut-off from the beginning of a titled thread here caught my attention. "Your first chapter..." and what I originally thought was behind these words instead led to something entirely different. But it got me thinking. I'm guessing most people here have at one time or another attempted to...

D. All of of the Above. And the characters are exceptionally boring.

I agree with what Rien said. I'd suggest going back and taking a more paced approached so as to where the reader can take the scene in and digest it in small bits, versus trying to swallow the whole chicken at once. Not only that, but to me it seemed as if in certain parts (his feet...

John, Yeah, if it's something you can attach your actual emotions to, then it'd probably be best to jump in and stretch. As for Hearts in Atlantis, thanks for that little tidbit of (praise? I dunno), info, as I've been thinking of reading it. I'm actually finishing up The Shining right...

Read "Martin The Warrior," enjoyed it, tried "Legend of Luke," bored me to tears, tried four other Redwall novels, gave up. I guess his books were better back when I was in sixth grade. Seventh and up they just had no wings.

Self-righteous readers are funny, especially when they're adults. Anyhow, I read The Da Vinci Code and enjoyed it, but not enough so as to where I'd go out of my way to read anything else from Dan Brown. The writing style wasn't exactly superb, but the idea behind the story pulled me along to...

Yes, Robert, I'm 16--I'm sure that I've mentioned that somewhere in these threads before but I could be wrong. Anyhow, in that case, the piece is excellent (I think so, anyway), and I would like to say you captured the spirit well, but as you've caught whiff of, this was before my time. John...

*snort* pfffft, ahahaha! This made me laugh, but it's good.

They're all lying. Just go home. There's an internal civil war going on. On one side, you have the members of the forum. On the other, you have Manuscript. It's very complicated. I'm somewhere running around in the background.
