I was tiding out my room the other day and i came across a Steven King book i hadnt red in ages i might start reading it again cause i like his Novels their quite cool
"Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight', people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.' " Michael Jackson

What one are you reading?

My favorite is Pet Sematary. Tommyknockers and It were excellent too. I hate that animals get hurt or killed a lot in his stories. Haven't read the Darktower series. Didn't like Misery. Cujo was a great movie, don't know about the book.

What are your favorites??

I just got "Blaze" by Richard Bachman/Stephen King. Looking forward to reading it. As I have mentioned in an earlier post, I am also a Stephen King fan.

I once read Cell. That was quite enough Steven King for one lifetime. I prefer that suspension of disbelief isn't a matter of conscious effort renewed every time the plot advances.

Steven king is intriguing in that sometimes i read a book of his which captures my imagination, I don't want it to end, stay up all night reading..........eg........it, desperation, buik8,

but then sometimes I can't get into his books at all, and i wonder why i even bought it.

I have tried to read black house several times before giving up, ok i know its a collaboration

but other books which had no impact on me - lindseys story, atlantis.

I like his books. Anyone seen the mist yet? When are you going to NYC? It's a great place.
