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.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

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.
