Finished the From Russia With Love audiobook on the way to work today. It's the first book in the series to end on a cliffhanger. I was going to take a break from Bond books but now I cant. Well played Ian Fleming.

I must say though, the Harold of the book is far more...fascinating to me. He is the epitome of the "nice guy" that women complain about these days. The mini series barely scratched the surface.

I have around 120 pages left. Things have really picked up making it a lot easier to knock out big chunks of book. So far Trashcan is my favorite part of the novel a really interesting character.

I think I'm about 150 left. Yeah, with King's big ones, he's got these lulls in the middle that drag on. I slowed down for a bit during DT5, but I'm picking up speed again too.

If I'm right there is a shorter version of the Stand have you read that? If anyone has read both after I'm done I would like to hear comparisons

I've got one lined up next that was recommended, since the main character is biracial in my book, that this book can help give insight. I Am Not Your Mexican Daughter, i think is the title.

My copy of Misery is so old, I should get a fresh new copy. I bought it used. One of the Misery samples that Paul Sheldon writes is torn out, lol.
