CMWriter Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 So I had every intention of finishing 'Salem's Lot before jumping into a new book......but I made the mistake of happening upon my ebook file for Odd Thomas. Granted I've loved James Patterson for quite a while (I read the Maximum Ride series as a middle schooler) but about a page in I was hooked. Before I realized what was going on I was fifty pages in and it was one in the morning. Whoops. Actually my folks recommended the Odd series to me, so I found an ebook file a while ago. Now I know why they liked it so much! I know Patterson isn't everyone's cup of tea but as far as a supernatural story goes, what I've read so far was very good.

Finding IT Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Started reading this a little while ago... fantastic so far! My studies and work have kept me from finishing it but it's really exciting. Also read The Green Mile last month or so, which I loved. Looking forward to re-reading it in the future. C:http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa416/Writergirl2112/king_salemslot.jpg One of my favorite King books, even after all these years. And I've read them all. Enjoy it. Me too. I am pleased to see Stephen King finally getting some accolades. He is an amazing story teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pleased to see Stephen King finally getting some accolades. He is an amazing story teller. One of the things I've always said about King is that when I am reading one of his books, I'm never really aware that I'm "reading." It feels more like I'm actually watching the story unfold in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomazagato Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Good evening everyone, (well it is over here in my neck of the woods, and by the way this is my first post)I am just getting into a Martin Amis book called London Fields and I have just finished American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis.

bathory Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 what'd you think of american psycho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomazagato Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I could not finish this book the first time I came across it. In fact, when I finally (and gratefully) decided to stop reading it, I could not even bring myself to return it to my bookshelf. I actually threw it in the litter bin, which I have never done to another book. It's a shame, too, because up until about 3/4 of the way through, I LOVED this book. The writing is simply brilliant, and Ellis presents a fascinating and thought-provoking view of 1980's American society, made especially poignant by the fact that it is only mildly less disturbing than the view into the mind of a psycho-sociopath. I thought I was doing really well getting through the elaborately grotesque and increasingly descriptive torture/murder scenes, understanding their placement and function within the bigger picture of the novel, as well as the contrast and compliment they brought to the other, more sane and mundane (but equally elaborate and descriptive) sections. But really, I thought to myself, Ellis. Enough is enough. I stopped reading when I found myself literally on the verge of vomiting, and I am still haunted and disturbed by concepts and imagery that have been burned into my brain forever. But saying all that, and fast forwarding to a couple of months ago while in a second hand charity store I purchased the book and for some perverse reason I finished the book second time around, and once again baulked at the scenes and ambience it portrays. Thanks a lot, Bret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 yeah it has quite an effect, especially the infamous RAT SCENE which was thankfully left out of the movie I'm a big bret ellis fan, I've read all his stuff, american psycho's still my favorite. have you read any of his other stuff?
