    Finished reread of Needful Things. Started out well, but became tedious with the same thing happening over and over (just as I remembered). King has a great feel for his characters and Leland Gaunt is one of his creepiest creations, but it's all for naught with a lazy finale (I wished if had been something other than everybody shooting each other--that seems too easy).

    Anyway, The Memory Tree by John R. Little is next.

        Who's to say what "top literature" is? A bunch of old fogies with pipes and lisps? Literature is to be enjoyed and I'll be the first to say tI think hat a lot of what passes for "top literature" is utter crap. Read what you enjoy. Western, sci-fi, horro, crime, suspense.

          Excellent! Many thanks. Now I've got it.

            YES! Elitism can be found everywhere, and it's unfortunate. And using books, of all things, to make oneself feel superior to others is just balderdash.

              How is it? I've read a lot of his books, but after a while the similarities got to me; now I really have to be in an "October" mood to feel like reading him.

                Didn't get any reading done at work yesterday. Watched tv on my laptop instead because I was too lazy. So, before I even touch my laptop today I shall continue reading at least 30 of the last 100 pages of Lisey's Story. I think...not sure if I'm even on the last 100 but its close. Couldn't put it down the other night.(Friday) anyway...off I go...

                  Well, I'm still off work thanks to a messed up finger, so today I went to the library and thought I'd give these a go:

                  "The Strain" - del Toro & Hogan
                  "Sons of God" - Rebecca Ellen Kurtz (don't think I've ever read an action/adventure novel concerning Nephilim. Ought to be interesting)
                  "Gods Without Men" - Hari Kunzru (after reading the jacket a few times, I'm still not sure what it's about. :-) Weirdness in a California desert - nature, reality, religion, magic, mystery)

                    Finally finished Game of Thrones. I don’t know how I missed that series, but I have a whole lot of catching up to do. That was a fantastic read. Next up will be a couple of those PS Novellas I got from the Friday the 13th grab bag. Then, I’m debating on either The Mailman or one of the Bachman books, which I have never read. Suggestions?

                      I haven't finished it yet but am definitely enjoying it so far. It is the 2nd of his books for me so far.

                        My favorite Bachman was "The Long Walk".

                          The Long Walk was the point where I stopped reading The Bachman books.

                            I almost love the Bachman books more than those by King.

                              I just double checked and it was roadwork that I stopped reading. But I think I gave up because the long walk was so hard to get through and roadwork didn't get my attention right away. So I've only read rage which I loved. The long walk which I hated and part of roadwork which I didn't finish.
