Finished The Stand. Second time reading it.

Still not as good as It or Duma Key, not to mention Needful Things, but a decently solid, if over-long, read.

Best audiobook ever...

I still haven't even finished Duma Key. One of the few King books I've put down.

About halfway through James Kaplan’s two book bio on Frank Sinatra. Marty needs to make that movie.

The guy I bought my house from is Frank's cousin's grandson. He's younger than me, so was only alive a few years before Frank died, but probably has a shit load of stories passed down to him. He tried getting me to take up golf with him, and now that I quit the blue collar life and am mostly studying I could probably take him up on that. Expensive hobby, though.

I did both Shogun audiobooks by James Clavell. It's 2 parts. Fantastic story and a fantastic writer. Feudal Japan is so fascinating, I highly recommend these books.

Right now I'm reading Survive The Night by Riley Sager. I'm really enjoying it so far. The book takes place during the 90's. It sort of reminds me of those Fear Street books I used to read as a kid but I'm liking it a lot regardless. I'm planning on reading more horror books in the future.

The second story in Stephen King's Different Seasons is called Apt Pupil. I went in totally blind and I'm really enjoying it so far. Real twisted shit. Glad I knew nothing about this story and also glad I have a long way to go in it.

Finished The Dark Tower book VII. Mixed feelings about this series The highs are really high and the lows are really low. No one book is awesome but as a whole It's pretty good. King has trouble with endings and the finale of this series is on par with this trend but also like his best stuff I became emotionally attached to the characters. Started Wind Through the Key Hole because I want more of the characters especially my favorite character Oy.

I started Robert Caro’s “The Power Broker”. I can see why it is so revered. Still 1000+ pages to go…..

So far The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole is kicking ass but I'm not that far in. If it stays like this it's top 2 in the series for me
