I liked Rose Madder. But King's masterpieces are the old ones for me. Needful Things, Pet Sematary and The Shining. Oh and The Night Shift. It kills as well.

I first read it in high school and didn't try to analyze it, I tried reading it a year ago, and actually making sure I understood it, I couldn't. And I wanted to kill myself.

Colonel CathcartI want to get out of here, so I walk around naked and pretend to be sick.

Fine. Praise us, and we'll let you go home.
Colonel Cathcart
No. I'll desert instead, because I've learned that war is crazy, and it's bad too, because it makes people do really weird things and die. Also, high ranking military officers are evil incarnate.

Look at all the subtext. This must be one of the greatest anti-war pieces of our time.

Hehehe. I know. But that guy seriously had it coming. I ended up dropping his class halfway through the year because he freaked me out so bad. I couldn't figure out why, til my best friend put her finger on it-"lingering stares". Every girl in the class got one like every day. It was just downright creepy. I couldn't wait to get out of there. It was especially bad because I had to sit in the front row. Damn teachers and their need to alphabetize everything!ThraxDude said:Damn! bRaT bullying the science teacher! I'd hate to be on your shit list, Heidi!
max said:i've never liked reading books, so i guess that makes me a dumb weirdo who has no patience. i simply don't have the patience to read through hundreds of pages. i find it frustrating and tedious. everytime i try to get myself into reading i only make it 1/4 of the way through the book before giving up...!
maybe someone can recommend me something to convert me to reading? am i missing that much????

One involved Ted Kacyzinski (We've got Ted Kacyzinski sitting around with nothing to do, "here you go Ted, here's a mailing list." "have they been bad?" "oh very bad Ted." "I'll need some supplies", "of course you will."

Last two books I finished:When You Ride Alone, You Ride With Bin Laden by Bill Maher. Great book about the common sense way to deal with terrorism.
AndSex, Money, KISS by: Gene Simmons, hilarious look at how to be successful in all walks of life. I am now reading Theocrittus.
Robin Williams is funny as hell...GASOLINEDREAM said:Funny stuff. Where is that ted k--in jail somewhere?
GASOLINEDREAM said:Bill Maher can be very very amusing--aside from some stupid comments he shouldn't have made in the past thst people get all bitchy about now, he's great. One time, on his HBO show, he had some guys sing a song called "He's fucking my lady"--it was hysterical.
