Me too!! I loved the book. Reading Black House now..really enjoying that one too. I love SK!
Yeah it was really great! I want to read it again but I borrowed it to a friend and I have a feeling I'll never see it again :x
Have you read the Dark Towers yet?
Oh no...I hate when that happens. :( I haven't yet...but they're on the list...I just have to borrow them from somebody...luckily I know somebody that owns them....or I think he has most of them...I think he might be missing a couple of them :think: I need to double-check the book list. :geek:

I definitely recommend reading them after the Black House - they're all kind of related in a way! I have all of them, so if you need to borrow one let me know and I'll send it to you!

Cool! Thanks! I'll let you know...I think kyle has most of them so I can check with him too How many are in the Dark Towers series?
Actually there's 8 in the series if you count the Wind Through The Keyhole.
good call :thumbup: I'm embarrassed to admit I still haven't read it yet :oops:
Neither have I. It's been close to 15 years since I read the first book so I am toying with the idea of re-reading the entire series and tucking Keyhole between books 4 and 5 like King says.
I really hope they don't screw this up as a TV series. I'm actually more excited about Breaking Bad starting back up this summer.

I've never read any of the Tower books except for 1/3 of the first. I found that 1/3 of a book unbearably boring, so I decided the Tower series isn't for me... I know so many people love them, but I just couldn't get through it. I don't know what it was. Love Stephen King so much (and god knows enough people have tried to convince me to read them), but I just can't get on board with the series! I think maybe it's because I hate fantasy novels, and the Tower reminded me more of a that genre....

It is so sad, but just the name "Ikea Monkey" makes me laugh hysterically.. So weird.

That monkey was found wandering in an Ikea near Toronto a few months ago. Got caught on film, and became one of those viral kind of stories... people loved it! (I actually found it somewhat distressing myself)

I didn't read this whole thread, but am I the only one who hated "Thinner" ? It was recommended to me and I HATED it! It wasn't scary, was kind of hokey, and the pulsating pie? Uugh. (Sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere)

It's definitely not one of his best, that's for sure. I don't think he put much effort into that one. But compared to the movie, it was worthy of a Pulitzer.

Here's the CNN story. It's a really stupidly presented story. They totally ignored the animal abuse angle, which actually did exist with the owner, despite the cute coat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ80Zpi7N-E

Wow. Really? THAT'S how they reported it? Talking about his FASHION? That makes me sick. Nothing makes me more angry than animal abuse. How depressing :(

I know. :( I was livid when that happened and I was watching it on the news! The Canadian press handled it only slightly more tastefully.... Pretty much all reports were more gleeful than anything else. But what it came down to in the end was that the idiot who owned it had no idea how to take care of it, it was somewhat malnourished and suffered from anxiety, and she also physically abused it (claiming that was how she was training it, and considered that method legit). I don't know if they went forward with charges, but I hope so!!
