ah, the night before a new Stephen King book.

it feels like Christmas Eve :o

anyone else making the trek to the local friendly bookshop to pick up the next new King book, I will be :)

don't know how many more times we'll be able to enjoy this, so it's more appreciated now.

I haven't picked up a book since I finished my last on Thursday, so I am nice and randy, gonna tear through this one

    Where have I been?? :o How did I miss this? Tell me more smarchee, my fellow King fan!! :) Should I be rushing out as well?


    I love the excitement of a new King book. Is it part of the Gunslinger series? If so I am woefully behind there :o

    Laughing at moi? :confused::o:p

    Oh goody !!! well yes I don't know how I missed this but I tend to blame it on this illiterate society I live in called Calgary. I am not sure I should get it tomorrow or wait until my holiday. Also, I am trying to utilize my public library which could also read as trying to save money. Not to mention back on PEI I have a gazillion books that I have NO idea what to with :confused: But I am not very good at saying no to temptation :o

    Enjoy!!! Let me know how it is!!

    I will be getting it as well. I think I have gotten every King book the day it came out since "Needful Things", when I was 14!

    I am in the middle of a really good book right now ("The Terror" by Dan Simmons), but that will be pushed to the side when I get "Duma Key".

    King also has a new short story collection coming out either later this year or next year and he also said he is working on a really long novel set in Maine!

    This is a fantastic website to keep up with King news: http://www.liljas-library.com.

    I didn't hear about this Secretary Of Dreams released last year, so I'll have to look more into that

    how're you liking it? I'm happy King has stopped writing about (of all things) cell phones. I think Duma King is a retun to his roots, very interesting, very unsettling. I liked this one a lot. Let me know when you're done with it and we'll geek out together :D

    His best book in years - since Bag of Bones easily. I didn't think I would like it when I read the summary on the jacket but I did. I was intrigued by the thought of Perse and the ship. And I really liked the character of Wireman.
