What Are You Reading
Re: What Are You Reading
The Green Mile is now my 3rd favorite King novel. Never thought my top 5 would ever change. Masterpiece
Re: What Are You Reading
Will either be starting Duma Key or Hearts in Atlantis audiobook Monday morning. Still undecided

Re: What Are You Reading
As Duma Key is easily in my top five King books, I should give a warning that it starts off quite slowly. I personally enjoy it, but it takes like 500 pages to really get going. Has quality atmosphere beforehand, though.
And I'm not trying to diss the book, but I know multiple people who couldn't get into it because it started off slow, so just fair warning.

and usually I'm pretty good with slow starts, but that was achingly slow even for King.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:01 pm As Duma Key is easily in my top five King books, I should give a warning that it starts off quite slowly.

Re: What Are You Reading
I've read the book something like seven times. If you've any questions, let me know.

Duma Key is snail on muscle relaxers slow but it hasn't lost me yet
Re: What Are You Reading
Somehow I forgot a Stephen King short story about a chick who eats cum stains. Pretty fucked up Steve

William Hurt is the Audiobook reader for Hearts in Atlantis. He had a very cool voice. R.I.P.
