A friend gave me this book. I read about a ¼ of it then put it down to start another read. I had every intention of going back to it at some point, but never did. I found it hard to connect with the story/characters. My friend raved about it (and she only rarely will indulge in fiction) but I...

I had a love of Motley Crue back in the day. Massive crush on Vince Neil. Sad. So sad.

I totally agree. The pace of Lisey's Story got to me in the beginning, but the story itself latched on. The Stand is one of my all time favorites. Just a fantastic read.

I was prepared to be let down by Lisey's Story, but I liked it. I know some of his newer works do indeed suck--THe Cell comes to mind--but now and again he still has what it takes. For me anyway.

Hi Gaz, welcome. I'm in S. Florida as well. I DO like the bagpipes so bring 'em on!

Has anyone read King's son's book Heart Shaped Box? He goes by the name Joe Hill. I have yet to purchase it, but plan to. Interested to know what others think of the story.

I'm with eyez. I much prefer the US cover. I too thought King had laid Bachman to rest. Glad I was mistaken.

Not sure why, but I do like the idea and the imagery of fairies and I love to read. Sooooooo, a book fairy seemed spot on.

Updike, John

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thought it was made up. If nothing else, I've learned something today :)

Hi bz. We'll be new together :)

oops. I was too slow.

Hmm, it's not so much that books and the outdoors are contradictory, but activity and books. Kinda hard (for me anyway!) to hike and read, swim and read, etc. But a nice combination is a lounge chair and a book :)

Thanks! Seriously, I will read anything. I just browse and pick up whatever trips my trigger in the moment. Most recently finished Sharp Objects. I DO have a thing for historical fiction though. I'm in sunny South Florida which I love until hurricane season!

I'm having a really good, mellow day. I joined this forum (yay for me), I'm haivng my coffee (almost noon, I'm going slowly), I'll take the dogs out for their walks, have a facial scheduled and do some reading. Nice ;)

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn .I really enjoyed this one. Dark subject matter, but a good read. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Good story but it drags a bit. The Lie and Time of Thuderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson. Bought for a reading group. Funny bits, but not his best.

You could also try Jack Whyte's series The Camuloud Chronicles. The Roman empire and Roman citizens are the backbone of the series.

Hi all, very new to forums..using this thread to see if I have the hang of posting, bear with me :) As much as I love the outdoors and action, I have a mad passion for books. It's my duality-- totally still and absorbed in a book (any kind, any genre, any topic) or constant motion. Anyway, hello...
