I think I might buy this book-- the problem is, I'm a 3rd year Undergrad, and I SERIOUSLY never have time to read.



But I will buy it!!! I've kinda followed it since it's release. It seems super, super cool :)

I usually read before I go to sleep. It winds me down and makes me tired. Usually after 30 minutes of reading in bed I'm almost asleep. Can't do any studying for school past 10 pm because my brain shuts down.
 
Im about 1/4 of the way through divergent and after reading all of the hunger games, 6 of the wheel of time, the host, the first twighlight, and 4 harry potters, i think i have learned that i like more adult oriented content. More violence mainly

I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes of plopping myself onto my bed, so the reading part isn't usually required. I do like the idea though-- it's just that I usually spend the 20 minutes before I go to bed just practicing on my guitar (I'm awful), so maybe I'd have to replace that with reading.
 
Btw, for anyone who likes sci fi mystery stuff..... i highly recommend the wayward pines series by blake crouch.
Amazing story and make sure not to read any reviews with spoilers.
 
I like most books by blake crouch..... my favorite of his books is called Run. (Reminds me of stephen kings cell)

Also, the wayward pines books are coming out this year on television and stars matt dillon, terrence howard, and shannyn sossamon..... m night shamalan spearheading the tv show. It is being compared to the television show Twin Peaks.
 
The Stand is the best King book it's a proven real true fact. The Supreme Court made their decision, and it was unanimous (well, Clarence Thomas voted for Dreamcatcher, because he's a lunatic).

1.The Stand

2.Lisey's Story (CONTROVERSIAL CHOICE I KNOW DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER)

3. The Long Walk--early king book, most overlooked, but it's excellent. You'll read it in one setting.

4. Full Dark No Stars--this was seriously one of the best short story collections (it's really a collection of like 4 novellas and a short story) I've ever read. I consider it to be a masterpiece of horror fiction. If you're a king fan and haven't checked this out, you're missing some of his best work.

5. The Dead Zone

6. 11/22/63

7. Carrie

8. Bag of Bones

Some good ones in there.
Bag of bones was great.... full dark no stars was great..... dead zone and 11/22/63 were great..... long walk was ok.

The stand is terrific but i dont think its in the top 5 king books.

I have not read liseys story but stephen kings says it is his personal favorite of all his books
