Finished The Green Mile a few days ago (read that pretty quick for my slow pace, that was a tough one to put down), and now reading Michael Crichton's Dragon Teeth.

This is on my must read list for sure. The Green Mile is one of my favorite movies ever.

I'd easily put it in King's top 10.

Even when he leaves you hanging never to finish them?

Currently re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Took a few weeks to re-read the whole series. Always interesting to see how the first few books differ drastically in tone from the fourth book onward.

Since I did so well so far with my reading New Year's resolution (I only have one book left to finish that, reserved for John Grisham's A Time To Kill), my next year reading resolution will be all of The Dark Tower series. I've only read the first two books in completion.

Quit the Crichton book. Was too bland and sterile for me to bother continuing. Probably not fair to describe it that way since it was probably never a final draft, since it was published post humously, but eh.

Started Stephen King/Richard Bachman's Thinner. Never read it. Actually started a couple days ago. I'm over halfway through.

700 pages into the fourth book A Feast for Crows and there hasn't been any drop in quality.

Forgot to mention finished Thinner, read A Time To Kill (very good, but surprised at how freely the N word was used, and not in dialogue like I would expect), then read Dean Koontz's Shattered (it was decent, like on character, but was brisk) and now reading Craven Manor by Darcy Coates.

Doctor Sleep (Stephen King)
Decided to restart this one since the movie comes out in November. The trailers look great, so maybe the book is just a really slow start.

It's funny, I recently read that one and had the exact same thought about the use of that word. I don't know if that's really how they talked in the 1980's in the south, but I certainly accept that it's possible.
Also, I was very pleased with that conclusion. Happy it wasn't nearly as bleak as one would expect.

Finally finished A Dance with Dragons. These are the best books I've ever read.Now I can join the masses in bitching about the new book taking so long. Will be starting The Shining in a little while.
