Just starting Dark Tower IV Wizards and Glass

Phenomenal series so far.

I wonder if they will ever do a movie

King sold the rights to the guy who made the new Star Trek movie... so let's hope

when i read, i picture Roland as Clint Eastwood for some reason.........

school slowed my reading down considerably, but im about 420 pages into Wizards and it is just fantastic.

i got the other 3 ready to go.

3/4ths of Wizards and Glass was amazing... the story about Roland as a 14 year old and his love with Susan was just incredible... how that ended was absolutely heartbreaking and i felt like crying no bullshit


However


after that, the story goes to shit............. The Wizard of Oz? really? Come on with that shit... felt like stopping reading right there...

King also has this way of writing that drives me absolutely fucking crazy

He gives too much shit away.. like  Roland and Susan made love and little did they know it would be the last time they'd ever make love again

FUCK U King.... now i know she isn't gonna make it

he does that so much in his books and they'd be the greatest thing ever if he didn't give shit away.

'Seven Roads To Hell' by Donald R Burgett (A compagny 506 talking about his Bastogne fighting)

He also has written 3 other great books, Currahee / The Road To Arnhem / Beyond The Rhine.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Amazing novel. I haven't yet seen the film, but if it stays pretty true to the book, it should be great.

'The Road' was a great book... right now I'm reading 'The Stand' by Stephen King. I've read about a dozen books by King, but this is my first attempt at 'The Stand.' I'm about 200 pages in and it's a good read so far.

I have the unedited version at my apt. in PA, but I'm home visiting the fam. in Ohio and had the regular version at my parent's house... so I'm reading the regular version. I debated on waiting until I got back home, but I didn't. Should I wait?? I'm only 200 pages in...

Did you not find it relentlessly depressing? I somehow knew whilst I was reading it, that it was a great book but even the optimistic ending failed to burn a positive memory of it into my brain.  I don't know whether to see the movie - which is out in the UK next week. Seems a good cast tho.

It also scared the hell out of me. Perhaps the point?

Today we celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany and so The Other Wise Man by Henry Van Dyke is a nice read at the end of the day.  Smiley

I just finally got around to reading an autobiograpy by some guy I'm sure no one on this board has ever heard of: Slash.  Wink  I really enjoyed hearing about his childhood and teenage years. I wish I had been smoking pot and having sex as early as 13!!! The stuff about Axl and GnR only succeeded in making me either angry or depressed. However, speedballing sounds like a hell of a lot of fun! LOL.

Also read Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son. Interesting premise, and the book was entertaining and fast-paced, but it lacked the great character-development that makes King's novels so memorable. It was one of those books that I think would make a better movie.

Currently I read Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler. Quite hard to read though. Undecided

I'm about halfway thru "Under The Dome". I only ever read one Stephen King book before. This one is over 1100 pages long, but i just want to keep going and see what happens next. Interesting concept and i feel by now (600 pages in) that i really know the characters. Not sure how it's gonna turn out, but i'm sure the next 500 pages have plenty of strange shit waiting for me.

Just finished re-reading Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky.  What a great book!

It's been a while since I last read a book. It was 'the name of the rose' by Umberto Eco. Great novel Smiley
