The Books/Reading Thread

Stephen King rocks. He went to my school, in case you didn't know. I'd say Pet Sematary is his best work. Creepy how its set right in the forests right outside of campus here. I believe there's a part of the book where a guy walks into the campus medical center with half his head missing and he collapses to the floor.

Fuck yes. I'm close to completing my collection. I'd say The Dark Tower series are my favorite books. I also love The Shining and Pet Cem is also great. I just bought The Mist and The Deadzone, The Mist being in preperation for the movie (which looks fucking creepy btw)

The only problem with Maine is that there are very few famous people from here. It's Stephen King, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Dorothea Dix, and that's it.

Have you read Black House? I read The Talisman, and despite owning Black House, have never got around to reading it. What happens in it?


Underlining is awesome.

That being said, I haven't finished Skeleton Crew and never read the Mist.

I got a couple Orson Scott Card books I've been lusting after this weekend. All is good in the world.

I completely missed this. Anyway, I've only read Slaughterhouse 5, but I really enjoyed it and was wondering what would be another good book of his to read?
