Kipling:
The Stand
opened my eyes to his writings. It was regarded as horror because it involved the results of a bio catastrophe.
The book is not about horror, it is about
Good vs Evil
Eriisa: I read The Stand....imo it was the worse book I ever forced myself to read. lol a large book mind you...but hey, it was Stephen King..so I kept reading it. when the book was over...I got up..walked to the door of the Chicago motel room I was in,and tossed it out into the parking lot. havent read another King book since.
Eriisa:There are several books listed in the posts that need to be added to the request list. Hrqls told me how to do it but I am not seeing what he told me to click on. If you wouldn't mind, could you add them for me? Please and thank you!!!
Dolittle: I like some Steven King. I think my favorite was The Stand. I remember reading it when it first came out in '77 (I think). But I didn't like Misery, so much in fact, that I never did watch the movie of it.
ajtgirl:Good to see you back! All those books sound interesting except for Cell..I just don't care much for Stephen King. I would like to read Songs in Ordinary Time..will PM you!!
Mr. Usurper: the da vinci code is a nice book, a nice detective-like book with some puzzles in them which the main persons in the book have to solve
the puzzles involve the church (i think roman catcholic, but not sure, at least cristian :)) as well as the tempeliers
there are some things said in the book which are a bit controversial ... but nothing people should get mad about ... well as long as you wont get mad about the sorcery in harry potter :)
Mr. Usurper: It is based on the bible and parts of it reach way into the imagination. I haven't read it but that is just what I have heard.
By the way, I found The Grapes of Wrath at a used book store today. Can't wait to read it. I also bought my all time favorite, "Little Women".
Tuesday, it's fine to be fiction but he shouldn't take excerpts from someone else's book.
I am ready for that book anytime you are ready to send it. You still have my addy?
The Usurper:I enjoyed that book too. James Frey admitted that parts of the book were not true. They are saying the same thing now about The DeVinci Code. All that publicity just sells more books so let them keep on talking!
Dolittle: Hey that list thing is pretty cool. I hadn't noticed it. Thanks!
A Million Little Pieces was so good I had my 15-year-old son read it (he's at that pivotal age). He fell in love with it of course. It was an eye-opener for one so young. And now I don't have the heart to tell him that large portions of the book are fiction....very good fiction nonetheless. lol
The Usurper:Isn't it rather hard to get interested at the start? I am reading One Thousand White Women at the moment. It's a fictional writing based on history. Am enjoying that one!
Is an excellent read. I highly recommend it. I also recommend The Kite Runner...already gave my copy away, I think, but if I find it I'll add it to the library.
