    well if you can get past them calling eddies mother by the wrong name on the first page and identifying soundgarden as the crew, youll be fine with it. i liked the neely book better.

    veronika decides to die- paulo coelho

    Just started Anita Shreve's "Body Surfing". I have yet to find a book of hers that I did not love. Finished the David Sedaris book and I will have to check out some more of his :)

    Just started reading Emily Gee's "Thief with no Shadow". So far I'm really liking it.

    Good book. Good movie too, just different from the book.

    a smart reader recommended it to me, plus Mr. King highly endorsed it, or it says so on the cover

    i just bought 'the gunslinger.' ive never read a stephen king novel before though, and i hear that later books kinda of wind in and out of this canon. im afraid i wont understand the later books of the series and i dont want to kick it off if that's going to be the case, as i already have book one of a VERY big/long seris on my shelf as it s (game of thrones, from george martin's fire and ice series).
    and like that... he's gone.

    If Martin doesn't hurry up and publish Dances with Dragons, I'm going to fly to where ever he lives and kick his ass. It's a great story and he needs to finish it!!!!!!

    i've not even cracked page one yet, so i have no idea what this means :)

    but yeah, it's a big series, and between that my love of john connolly's charlie parker novels, diving into a 7-book series that incorporates the entire mythology of a stephen king universe i've never read seems a little overwhelming.
    and like that... he's gone.
