Great read...more detail than the movie (that I watched when it first came out) especially about his multiple appeals and more in depth about the Canadian commune that helped him.
Finally read "Red Dragon" Now I've got to finish Silence, and Hannibal. I've also got a bunch of others lined up, but haven't had as much time as I would like as of late.
Let me elaborate. This FREE downloadable file contains samplers of all 11 (!) titles published by a new and upcoming publishing house called Broken River Books, run by young entrepreneur (and gifted writer) J David Osborne. If hard-hitting, gut-wrenching yet fresh and challenging Crime Fiction / Noir is your thing, or if you are simply looking for something that packs a punch, then please do check out these releases. They can be ordered through Amazon and are print-on-demand, which basically means these are NEVER out-of-print (even if stated otherwise). Trust me, do yourself a favor, and check this!
"...bring it back someway bring it back, back, back... to the clean form, to the pure form..."
Nothing says Happy Mother's Day like reading about teenage Juliet Hume and Pauline Parker killing Pauline Parker's mother (the movie Heavenly Creatures was based on the case). The book is very good though.
Gerald's Game - I'm on a Stephen King binge right now.

Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely pick that one up! Read Misery years ago, but just recently started my binge - so far read Cujo, and Rage from the Bachmann Books.

Cool! I've recommended it to several people and everyone seems to like it I just read Rage recently too...I hadn't read it previously.
I couldn't figure out what book to read to begin my summer, so I had a little poll on Facebook to see what book I should read first (which afroannie was part of). My choices were One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sun Also Rises, and Ham on Rye. This was the one had the most replies:

Good book. If you like it I would recommend checking out The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. It is about Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters acting like wackos in the 60s. Highly entertaining read and might make a good follow up on reading Kesey's most famous book.

I read that the summer after my freshman year of college. Wacky is the word to describe it. Loved it.

"The Hero With a Thousand Faces," by Joseph Campbell. I got about 40 pages in and had to stop reading because it scared me. I put the book down and sat by the river to watch a thousand fireflies light up the ridge. It's funny, the first night, I didn't even see them til I left the fire and stared long enough at the darkness for my eyes to adjust. It was the most beautiful sight; bugs like shooting stars under the clear night starry sky framed in the trees -- and it was all real.
"It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth."—Nietzsche
In A Philosophy of Walking, a bestseller in France, leading thinker Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to B — the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble — and reveals what they say about us.
Gros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau’s eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other
