I like Insomnia, but probably because of its ties with the Dark Tower more than what it brings as a standalone title. I haven't read anything of King's after he "retired".DancesWithWerewolves wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 10:09 pm Duma Key remains one of King's two Did Not Finish books for me, the other being Insomnia. I tried a few times with Duma, but ugh, just so blah. Insomnia I only tried once, and just never got back around to trying again.

Re: What Are You Reading
Glad I held out on getting a new paperback of The Shining because I hated the previous several editions, and I didn't want to re-read my original hardcover again, possibly wearing it down further, because the new paperback cover is actually pretty decent.
I'm planning on rereading The Shining (just reread Carrie) for the first time in almost 20 years. Maybe I'll connect better with Book-Jack since I'm in my 40's and I won't see the "redemption arc" as a waste of space of the pure horror adrenaline as I've always seen it.

You've read a book so much it's worn out?
All my books have the crispest pages and pristine covers you'll ever find.

It's an original hardcover edition from the 70's from my dad. It's still in fairly good condition, but I know lugging it with me on the bus to read isn't going to do it favors.Reign in Blood wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 4:52 am You've read a book so much it's worn out?

You should see my paperback copy of Stephen King's It. Half the back cover is missing, and the book's seen some things, but still perfectly readable.Reign in Blood wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 4:52 am You've read a book so much it's worn out?
