I'm reading Stephen King's 11/22/63. I was afraid it was going to be The Dead Zone, part 2, but it is actually completely different. I am enjoying it a lot.
Now Reading...

I haven't read the series myself, but based upon what I read from Amazon.com,many say the first book is the hardest to get into because King is laying a foundation, but they say to keep on reading because it gets better and better, and I know that the Dark Tower series is highly regarded by many as a classic and one of the best series out there.......

I'd love a Dead Zone, Part 2. I'm waiting on the price to come down a bit on this one.
Don't get me wrong, I loved The Dead Zone. I just was afraid he was going to rehash it.

From my own personal experience, I didn't have a problem with the first two books, but I struggled through the third, only really getting into it at the end when the payoff finally happens. I still haven't been able to get through Wizard and Glass.

Just quit halfway through:
This sequel to the very good Santa Olivia is poorly-written and pointless, and feels like she wrote it simply to assuage the chants of "Sequel! Sequel!" from the fans. HINT: If you intend a book to be a one-off, and you don't really want to write a sequel to it, then don't do it. I can't even bring myself to finish it. Carey's work has always been hit-or-miss for me, but these days it's more "miss" than "hit".
Just started reading these, simultaneously:
Adam Carolla is one of my favorite people to watch on TV/listen to podcasts, but his book is not well-written (much like this sentence). I'll stick with it a while longer though, because it's funny. What I've read so far of the Rothfuss is spectacular.

Question for Kindle users & manga fans - has anyone had success installing the Nook app on the Kindle (fire i guess it would have to be) and read manga from Barnes and Noble?

I finished the book last week and did get a Dead Zone vibe, but not from the whole assassination angle. Something about the main character, particularly during his romance, felt a lot like the Johnny Smith character from Dead Zone. Good book though. King is hit and miss these days, but this one counts as a hit i think.

Justin..if you haven't already....
Thanks. I read that a few years ago. It was a solid story, though maybe a little too close to Stephen King's Dreamcatcher at times.

The Saxon Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell. Excellent historical fiction about Alfred the Great and the founding of England.

I'm a little embarrassed but I'm reading the Fifty Shades trilogy. My first foray into ebooks (Nook app on my phone).
