    After skimming through my library on my Kobo, decided to go with Oblivion. Good start to it.

      The Caretaker was enjoyable (political intrigue thrillers really aren't my thing). But Nemesis: The Death of Timmy Quinn IS and that's next!

        I've been stuck on Breathing Method. I generally read on my lunch and before bed but i've been taking short lunches to make up time and too tired at night. I can't decide whats next. I've been reading alot of the movie ones lately so I am thinking Four Past Midnight(Cuz I love Johnny Depp and would love to rewatch Secret Window) and the dead zone because a few people here said the movie was good and i like Christopher Walken.

        Also since I said I'm reading The Breating Method you should now know that I have recently rewatched The Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pupil(Which I still hate and the novella is not half as disturbing as i found it in high school) and Stand by Me. Two of those being EXCELLENT movies.

          I just finished The Regulators. Not what I expected after reading Desp. Tragic ending but as I approached the ending I couldn't see anything else happening.
          Don't know what to read next. Feel like I need to read something with a happier ending now.

            You can't go wrong with Four Past Midnight or Dead Zone.

                Oh crud, I didn't even think of that. I figured I am about the last one to read it. Sorry if I ruined it for anyone.

                  I'll just have to forget when I read it. No worries.

                    Stephenson's "Reamde" (but given the coloring in the title, I still say it's actually titled "read me").

                    Finished "Snowcrash" by same today. Good, but the ending could have been a bit better.

                      Just finished The Prophet by Koryta. I enjoyed it. Cliche, but it was a page turner.

                        Nemesis: The Death of Timmy Quinn was exactlty as advertised--epic. A great conclusion to a great series. A little confusion still exists about some events, but I'll sort it out after thinking about it some more. A distressing note: Catherine (a major caracter in the resolution of the drama) is referred to twice on page 186 as Caroline. How does something like that happen? I suppose a misspelling or misuse of a word or two I can understand, but something like that is bizarre to me. Oh well. Still an outstanding 5th vol to the TQ series.

                        I should start another good reads win, but I have too many books backing up my TBR, so The Lords of Salem by Rob Zombie and B. K. Evensen will be up next.

                          Currently reading: Three Supernatural Classics by Algernon Blackwood

                            Onto The Exorcist 40th Anniversary Edition. I've never read it before, so I'll be able to cross a classic of my TBR list.

                              I'm currently mowing through Coldbrook by Tim Lebbon, my first zombie novel (hard to avoid them and vampires these days). I thought I'd save my Z-cherry for an author I've been meaning to read for a while. It's a long 'un but, so far, a good 'un.

                                I actually didn't get any reading in this weekend..... last weekend for the kids I coach in hockey, plus the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life....

                                I am working my way through Oblivion and I have to say, I am really enjoying this. Good Kobo read! The chapters are short, which helps it move along, plus the story itself is a quick pace. My first book by Bonansinga too.
