    Just finished Stephen King's "Billy Summers". Really enjoyed it. Thought the book within a book device was clever. I also dug the various Easter eggs for the Shinning and the Stand. Wouldn't crack my top-ten favorite Stephen King books list; however, I think this was a very solid book for King and one I'm glad to own.

    Think I will be reading "Blind Voices" by Tom Reamy next. Have had it in my to-read pile for quite a while and am finally ready to give it a go. Hope it lives up to the Bradbury comparisons.
    Glad you enjoyed BILLY SUMMERS much more than I did. Very much looking forward to your take on BLIND VOICES...I've had the S/L HC from PS in my TBR for a long time, but haven't cracked its spine yet.

    I agree with your assessment of Billy Summers. I also think the ties to prior stories was done on the context as the current story. Sometimes he throws in links that have no bearing on the story being told. That was not the case here.

    Cool. This is prompting me to read this one. It's just sitting on my shelf staring at me.

    Started The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman.

    Epic fantasy isn’t usually my thing, but I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Buehlman book, so thought I’d give this one a read.

    100 pages in & liking it so far.
