I can tell from what I've read so far that I'll love it.  I've read Stephen King books in the past and always enjoyed them.

My friend in work has recommended Fluke by James Herbert.  Looks good!

Product Description
He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. But he was something more. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness was a memory clawing its way to the surface, tormenting him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he had once been. A man...

I'm buying a book called The Fault in Our Stars by John Green I don't know much about it but sounds great. It's about two kids going through cancer and become friends.

Also buying Calico Joe by Grisham because I love baseball lol

I'll let you guys know how they are. I have about 150 or so pages to go for 11/22/63

My friends says it's about re-incarnation, which sounds quite interesting :)

ooh re-incarnation... I love good re-incarnation books.  If you want a really good one I would suggest The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan...

on 11/22/63 I just got to the part where Jake is at Al's Diner and Al is trying to tell him about something... I have not read an actual SK book before so I have to get used to his style

Aww excellent. I'm surprised you haven't read his Dark Tower series, Lore. I think you'd love that too.

I'm going to start a 11/22/63 thread now lol or maybe I'll just make it a SK thread.

Yay Lore, you'll love it.  I've read his books in the past, but it was a loooong time ago when I was a teenager (I was really into horror back then).

I've downloaded the whole book now, so I shall be glued to it I think :)
