Sun 12/11/2005 10:30p | OMG Jenni, he is my favorite author of all time! I read this last year and loved it. This book includes many characters from his previous books. Have you read any of his other books? E-mail me and I can give you a list. "Bloodsucking Fiends" was the first I read. His book about Biff (Jesus's childhood friend) is fall on the floor laughing material.
I have also met him in person, and trust me, he is so cool!

Sun 12/11/2005 10:38p | I am re-reading "Moving On" by Larry McMurty. It's funny how your perception of a book changes as you get older. I have read this book in my early 20's, late 20's and now in my 30's and have thought different things about different characters in the book every time. |

Don't ask me why I looked in the back already (I'm not the type to read the ending first), but I saw the note about how various characters have appeared in his other books and which ones.
>>Have you read any of his other books?<<
No, this is my first, but I did pick up Island of the Sequined Love Nun and Fluke at various charity used book sales. So many people have spoken so highly of him, I figured it would be okay to take the chance. :) His descriptions crack me up!
Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I lost my connection on VMK and can't seem to get back on at the moment. You'll have to tell me how the "sit-in" went! <g> |

Good book. Picked it up at the grocery store last night and just about done with it. |

Mon 12/19/2005 5:41p | "Black House" by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Haven't read much King, and no Straub, before. Picked this up not realizing it's the sequel to a book I haven't read, but I'm enjoying it anyway.
Question for the King fans out there: There are mentions here of a "Dark Tower" and "Gunslingers." Does this book connect to the Dark Tower series? Where does it fit? |

Mon 12/19/2005 6:36p | The Dark Tower books are a series of 7 books (I think, I'd have to count) and most SK books are mentioned in them at one point or another. Very interesting stuff, I couldn't stop thinking about the last book for days after I finished. That said, I haven't read "The Black House", I started and with the advance clues I new I didn't want to go any further. Although I remember enjoying The Talisman quite a bit. |
