11/22/63 is a freaking amazing book. I need to get it back from my cousin, I lent it to him to read but the little shit still hasn't read it yet lmao. Definitely need that back so I can re-read lol. I really liked where it went with it, for an unrealistic concept he really carried it off in a believable way. Jake makes a choice I'm not sure I'd be able to make at the end.


My faves are always gonna be the Dark Tower series (amaaaaaazing, I never get sick of reading them), and The Stand lol. The first book I ever read by him though was Firestarter, which is just a classic.

Just finished it. It ended exactly the way I wanted it to. I have to admit I chortled at the mention of Canada lol weird!

What a great book! I got a little teary at the end, I admit.

OMG no, I forgot about that lol. I knew there was another coming out but I haven't picked it up yet. You? Is it as good as the others?

I loved the Canada mention LMAO. OMG the ending got me so misty eyed! I loved it though, it's an ending, not perfect or anything. Just how it should be.

I haven't gotten it yet. I'm kind of on the fence about getting the new one. I just feel like it's over & done with lol I'm probably going to cave and read it though!

And I love most of his endings. They always just seem perfect. Not over the top happy or sad but just right. lol

After I've finished 11.22.63 I'll read the Dark Tower books I think.

I ended up going to sleep much later than I planned last night as I couldn't put the book down!

There are so many layers to this book that sometimes it can get confusing lol I think it would make an epic movie as long as they don't ruin it like they do most of his stories.

Dude, I dunno how I feel about a new DT book either. Like part of me is uber-excited, and part of me is like...um, this is supposed to be over lol.

I haven't started to read 11/22/63 more as I got caught up in another series of books but I'm about half way through the second one and the third hasn't been published yet.  I am not going to enjoy waiting for that I'm sure.  *sigh*  Once I'm done with it though it is 11/22/63 until I finish.  :)

That was an interesting interview :)

Well I'm just over 20% through the book now and loving it so much.  I also like the fact that he's included characters and things from IT, like the clown, the saying "beep-beep Richie", etc.  Derry sounds like a depressing place though, I'm imagining it like it is on the IT film.

Ah right, it's been such a long time since I read one of his books that I wouldn't have noticed.  But the book IT  has always stood out to me because I hate clowns, lol.
