    just got back from running some errands....
    while out, my wife called...asked what i was up to. i was @ target and was going to pick up a few things we needed + the new Stephen King book that i've been dying to read. she told me not to get it...i said why not? well, it looks like i'll have to wait to read it b/c my in-laws already bought me a copy for Christmas. whoops. ;)
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Read that one and Smiley's People back when they were mini series with Alec Guinness. :oops: Great story. I'm looking forward to the movie too, Gary Oldham is such a versatile actor.

    Besides the Steve Jobs book I got on Saturday, got two more books today:

    "Starting Over: The Making of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy" by Ken Sharp
    "This Is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl" by Paul Brannigan

    I can probably get through the John Lennon book before Thanksgiving break is over this week and then read the other two during winter break.

    Nice. I'm on the opposite side of the country, so I don't know how long that display will be.

    11/22/63 by Stephen King


    me too...wonderful read

    Ack!!! Jealous! Got it in last week but I've already got 2 books to read before I can start it. Glad to hear it's awesome! (Of course it is, it's SK!)

    I was in the middle of a few books when I got it, but all books get pushed aside when a new King book comes out! If you are a fan of how he references past works, you will love parts of 11/22/63. That is one of my favorite things about reading King.

    Oooh I think I just bumped the 3rd Song of Fire and Ice book out of the way...this will be my next one ;)

    I have a book that came out a couple years ago, The Stephen King Encyclopedia, and it's all about all the correlations from each of his books. I still get the shivers when I read Insomnia and Patrick draws a picture of Roland. That's great stuff!!!

    As much as I love SK, I might recommend reading the 3rd Ice and Fire book first. That is one of the best books I think I've ever read and so much happens!

    I'm a big fan of the correlations within his books too. Sometimes when he just mentions some briefly like a dog went rabid in Castle Rock a few years ago, it's a cool nod to his longtime readers. The links in this book are really good, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

    I'm finishing Declan Hughes' City Of Lost Girls... the 5th in the Ed Loy series... so far not my favorite of the five.

    Next up I am going to tackle Daniel Woodrell's The Bayou Trilogy... Thought I would give Country Noir a shot.

    I am really loving the John Lennon book. Can't put it down. It's in oral form, so you get direct quotes from John, Yoko, Jack Douglas, the musicians, and everyone else involved in the making of "Double Fantasy". Started it last night and it looks like I could be done with it tonight or sometime tomorrow.

    had yesterday off and out of boredom, read To Kill a Mockingbird for the first time since HS. What a great book.
