No I bought the one without the DVD. I don't care about collecting, I just want to read the stories.
i want to read the stories too, but with king novels (and short story collections), i want them all in hardcover and in perfect condition. i normally won't read hardcover books, i usually wait for the paperback to come out. but if i pick up another collectors edition, i'll be able to crack one of them open. i'm really curious about the dvd and was just wondering if you got one and watched it.

I think you can watch N. on itunes. I was going to do that after I read the story so it wouldn't be ruined.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
i just finished Sam Bourne's - The Final Reckoning which i enjoyed.
i'm now on to The Adventures of Huck Finn... got it for £1 a while back and always wanted to read it
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
How is the Rushdie? I've only read The Satanic Verses and thought it was terrific. Should read Midnight's Children one day.
Unbelievably, I've never read Rushdie before (always on my vast 'to read' list) but I certainly will now. This new one is wonderful - it's beautifully written and has a similar magical/surreal feeling to 100 Years of Solitude. I'm not very far in (p. 60 or so) but I'm loving it so far.
Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty
I hate the Dallas Cowboys but this book is just fascinating. There are so many guys I'll never be able to look at the same way again when watching highlights of football in the 90's. The chapter on Charles Haley is insane.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through "Under the Banner of Heaven".
So far it's incredible!
I've said it about 29457 times in this thread...but that is my all-time favorite book. I have several recommendations on memoirs from former FLDS members if you're interested.
This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper
I've been thinking about re-reading Under the Banner of Heaven. I loved it when I read it and I'm so angry about Prop 8 and how much money the Mormon church put into it - you know, I AM gonna re-read it. And I'd love to read more books about the church.
(Right now I'm re-reading the Henning Mankell Kurt Wallander detective series, about a detective in Sweden. Great book series.)

You and me both. So much for seperation of church and state, huh?

Banner is Krakauer right? Will you get the Tillman book if it comes out?
Yup, it is indeed Krakauer! (I am so in love with him as a writer!)
I was *DEFINITELY* get the Tillman book IF it ever comes out. From what I understand, it was set to release in October, but Krakauer didn't like the way the publisher was handling it so he held back the book and apparently it's in limbo for the time being. The earliest we'll be seeing it is 2009.

I'd like to see him write a story on Heath Ledger, the same way he researched McCandless and no doubt Tillman. That'd be a good story.
It's ok so far. It's short stories and so far I've read "Willa", "Harvey's Dream", and "Rest Stop". I skipped "Gingerbread Girl" because I read it when it was in Esquire and didn't like it that much. Of the ones I've read, "Willa" was the best. I'm going to read "Stationary Bike" next, which I already read in another collection but it's good so I'll read it again. "The Things they Left Behind" is another one I've read in there that I'll read again. So overall, I'd give it a B so far.
I have "Under the Banner of Heaven", but every time I go to pick out a book I don't feel in the mood to read it. Maybe one day. I did like "Into the Wild".

That's true. But, to be honest, I don't think Ledger is "extreme" enough for Krakauer. As he wrote in UtBoH, he is intruiged by anything extreme (i.e. mountain/rock climbing, religion, abandoning all useless possessions and living off the land, etc).
In my opinion, though, Krakauer could write about his shoelaces and I'd probably find it fascinating.

I just finished reading Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Holy shit, what a book.
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

How is the "Just Past Sunset"?
thanks for the heads up on that.
