Stephen King's Reading Corner

[Wolfgang B.]

I'm reading Sleeping Beauties, about 2/3 done. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Awesome! Can't wait to start it myself. Still waiting for the German paperback version to be released. Should be next month...

Red rum makes a cameo appearance in a fiction book I'm writing.

Stephen King ruined me bad.

That is a shame

I picked up a King book at the library a couple days ago, "Under the Dome". Has anyone read it? The thing weighs a ton (1,072 pages). Hope I can get through it before it's due back at the library!

I've read it. I didn't care for the ending but had to put it down for a bit because it's oppressive. He does a great job building tension. I'm curious to know what you think.

Read the Shining when I was in 7th grade when I was 12,13? in the late '80s.
Probably was the same for everyone that has read it but I was pretty sure through the whole book the dad was going to find a bottle of red rum and then murder the whole family. There was a episode of CSI called Redrum.

Started watching the TV series on CBS when it came out, not sure how accurate it is compared to the book. Was good but I was working a lot and missing it when it aired, but could catch up watching it on CBS online. About halfway through the first season they stopped airing it online and you could only watch it on Amazon, so I didn't get to watch anymore....
We have netflix and hulu plus, DW mentioned a couple yrs ago she cancelled Amazon cause no one was watching it, what? we had amazon? Yes she says, you wanted it so you could watch that Under the Dome....
I either forgot or didn't realize it, don't watch much TV, ohh well, maybe I'll read the book someday myself.
I'm sure it's good, never read a bad King book. Haven't read much of King's books after the fourth dark tower that I bought new.
I did pick up a few yrs ago 'From a Buick 8', that one was 'odd' but I can't say bad beings I read it straight through Lol.

I became addicted to Stephen King books when I was a teen, late '80s. They only had one book of his on the shelf in the middle school. The eyes of the dragon. I loved it and asked the librarian if they had any more. They did in the back closet room but in order to read anything in that room I had to get a parental permission slip.
Wow, they had all of his books, and they were huge!
I burned through all of them, read them on the bus ride to school, read them after I was supposed to be sleeping, till 2-3-4am and then had to get up for school. Think it only took two or three days to read the monster The Stand. When your a kid reading at night after everyone else is asleep and your scared you just keep reading and flipping pages hoping to get to the end before parents wake up in the morning. Lol!

I know it's not Stephen King but I always tell people who like his books they ought to read Louis L'amour's 'Haunted Mesa'. Yup the famous western novelist wrote a science fiction novel towards the end of his life. It's awesome and to me read more like a king book.
It's about a guy who specializes in paranormal investigations, debunking them. The Anasazi/ Hopi Indians and their people originally came from the third world to this the fourth world after the third became evil. He travels to the weird evil third world through a portal/window that was buried in a kiva.
Super weird and strange, one of the best books I've read.
Even stranger thinking how it coincides with ancient pueblo, Anasazi (cliff dwellers and how they just up and disappeared), Navajo, Hopi, history stories and religion.

I've only read 1 or 2 L'amour books...didn't know he wrote a science fiction story.
