I remember my mom had Thinner. And she was a Steven King fan, so she also had The Tommyknockers, but I don't think she actually read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding IT Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 This strikes me as a weird thread. Pretty much every book I have ever read once that I have liked, I have read at least twice. In many instances, I enjoyed the books more in subsequent reads than the initial one. I would say that 80% if the books I have read as an adult, I have read multiple times. Is this unusual? I always thought everyone did it this way. Is something wrong with me? Do I have some problem with completion or reconciliation? Perhaps I can't commit an ending. Perhaps some latent fear? A brain tumor? What the hell is wrong with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jul 13 2012, 06:55 PM) Gary Bearman - I Sing A Parade of Light Per the author... 25 years in the making, this is an uplifting book of spiritual poetry like you've never read before. It's a short book of quality over quantity, and one that is as deep, heartfelt and meaningful as I've been able to translate into words in an accessible way, designed to lift your spirit and open you to a wider, more wonderful world of infinite love and possibilities. Enjoy! Sounds like a good read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
