The Cell discussion thread
« on: March 08, 2009, 03:22:21 PM »
I picked most of the books that were mentioned in the other thread. If you want to read a synopsis of any of those you can peek into that thread or go to this link that Julie shared with us.

I voted for "Cell" cause it's one I haven't read and would like to read... although my life would be made easy if we chose "The Stand," since I had to abandon that one for My Sister's Keeper and will hopefully be going back to it as soon as I finish.

Am I the only one who's read Cell before? lol

Though I've been dying to reread it once I'm done rereading Christine. Yay for Stephen King kicks.

I love it, I've read it before but it's been awhile. I forgot that he used to do lyrics at the beginning of each chapter, for example. I think that's where I got that from (since I do it myself sometimes LOL). I have a huge Stephen King collection lol. Maybe after we're done with Cell, I'll reread Firestarter, that one is a classic.

Cell is good though, I promise, it made me not wanna touch my cell phone for like a week though lmao.

It would have been fun to read the Dark Tower series. We would need at least 6 months for that one though lol

I mentioned that as well lmao. But yeah that one would take forever. And although I love The Gunslinger, it doesn't represent (in my eyes) the series so I'd hate to discuss just that one out of the whole series.

No, I've read it. It was one of the few books of his I didn't really like. Well, except for the ones where he's NOT drunk or stoned :P
