Just finished my 1400+ page version of the stand. Very entertaining book. The couple king books I read were a welcome reprieve from what I normally read and now I can at least have some reference points for his writing

Who was your favorite character?
 
E.J. Wells said:
I've only read 42 of his books, so I'm a little behind. I haven't read some of the staples because I either already know the story, or simply have no interest:
Carrie
The Dead Zone
Cujo
Christine
Thinner
The Tommy Knockers
Pet Semetary
Bag of Bones
From a Buick 8

Funny, i have read about the exact same amount of king books as you and i have not read cujo, carrie, christine, thinner, pet semetary, or from a buick eight. Tommy knockers is one of my favorites.
Dead zone and bag of bones are both really good too.

Since you like horror books and stupid comedies, I think you might love this book.

Bought this.
Will read when i finish the divergent series. (Im on the third book now)
 
I started the Wheel of Time with the prequel, without knowing. It completely screwed up the first book as I could figure out what the one character is after the first couple chapters. The next 50 or so were nothing but filler to get almost to that point.

Don't read prequels first.
 
Just about done with I, Claudius. Pretty cool insight into the imperial Roman life even though it is historical fiction
 
I have been reading Divine Comedy by Dante and I am halfway through Paradise. Before I picked up the books all my friends who read the books said Hell was the best followed by Purgatory and all of them was somewhat bored by Paradise. The thing is I ****ing love Paradise. It is as good as Inferno right now if not better. Purgatory as good as it was, wasn't as enjoyable as the other two for me.

I want to know if I am the only one that liked Paradise more(at least more than purgatory) and your opinions about the book. It's a masterpiece.

I am halfway through A Brave New World. I'm thinking of then moving onto Michael Lewis' Flash Boys or Robert D. Kaplan's Asia's Cauldron. I'm leaning towards Kaplan's book as throughout most of his career, he's been an incredibly prescient foreign correspondent.
