Re: What Are You Reading
Though it was short, Caliban Cove was pretty lame I started dragging my feet reading it, so I finally finished the other day and now onto Dark Tower 4.5: The Wind Through The Keyhole.

Re: What Are You Reading
If you didn't like Wizard & Glass due to the halt in plot development, I'd recommend skipping Wind Through the Keyhole. It was written after the series was done and is pure backstory.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Though it was short, Caliban Cove was pretty lame I started dragging my feet reading it, so I finally finished the other day and now onto Dark Tower 4.5: The Wind Through The Keyhole.

Re: What Are You Reading
Yep I'm aware it was written after the fact. It's also much much shorter than Wizard & Glass, so I don't feel like I'll be as annoyed.
Re: What Are You Reading
Finally finished Diamonds are Forever. This was a steep drop in quality from the previous 3. I liked the Tiffany Case character but little else.

Re: What Are You Reading
Man, I haven't done any reading since I started Wind Through The Keyhole. Not that I"m not into it, just my mind won't let me focus on just reading. Hope it's just a phase.

I couldn't get through the first page of The Stand I'm just not ready having a much easier time with comicsDancesWithWerewolves wrote:Man, I haven't done any reading since I started Wind Through The Keyhole.

Re: What Are You Reading
Read the first 40 pages of The Stand today. Eerie how it mirrors our current situation.

Re: What Are You Reading
Is this your first time going through The Stand?
Re: What Are You Reading
Yeah first time reading. I watched the miniseries once in the early nineties but all remember was a guy riding a bombDancesWithWerewolves wrote:Is this your first time going through The Stand?

Re: What Are You Reading
Oooh, then you're in for a treat. Like the miniseries, the first half is better, but it's still my favorite book.
Re: What Are You Reading
300 pages into The Stand and just met Trashcan. Incredible book so far.

Re: What Are You Reading
Totally forgot about Wind Through The Keyhole...
Yeah...I'm not into it at all. The shift to first-person perspective is a strong dislike too. Not a fan of 1st person, and I'm usually okay when King does it, but feels wrong here.

It's a completely unnecessary book, so don't feel bad if you skip it.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Totally forgot about Wind Through The Keyhole...

Re: What Are You Reading
Finished all 9 novels in the James Ellroy-verse, now waiting for my copies of Don Winslow's Cartel trilogy, which I've heard are incredible.
