I wrote an essay, from bordem/inspiration. Take a minute to read it if you'd like :)

Good read. Slightly off topic check out Malcolm X talking about 'Field Negroes' and 'House Negroes'-think its on Youtube as well. Diane Abbot springs to mind, and is possibly what she meant.

Me too, how you finding it? Personally I feel it's the best thing he has wrote in the last 7-8 years.

I haven't read much of Stephen King before this one (always wanted to start but for some reason never got around to it) but am enjoying this one very much. Only about 1/5 of the way through though. But yeah, really liking it :D

Started 11/22/63 by Stephen King a week ago

Misery by Stephen King

And honestly, brilliant reading.

Absolutely love Stephen King, got most of his many books now. Am currently reading "Insomnia" by King - very good so far, only near the beginning.

Very much looking forward to reading 11/22/63, looks excellent. If you think it is his best thing for 7-8 years that bodes well because i thought Duma Key and Under The Dome were just brilliant.

The Poet - Michael Connelly.

Not liking it so far. Started off well in typical Connelly fashion, seemed a great plot (still is, around the halfway stage now), just getting a tad drawn out though. Not great for a thriller. King wrote a raving endorsement of sorts at the beginning of the book, certainly doesn't live up to the lofty praise he's given it.

Have you got around to reading it yet mate?

Just finished reading a few of Lovecraft's short stories, chilling stuff. Next up is The Motorcycle Diaries :)

Has anyone ever heard of Sidney Sheldon? I think all of his books were number 1 New York Times Bestsellers List at one point, and he was a producer of some American comedies in the 60s.

Anyway, I've just gotten introduced to his books, and I am really enjoying "Master of the Game":
