Turtles have to be named after turtles? LOL. O'Brian's series was masterpiece set at sea. King took the name from the O'Brian books.

Tommyknockers, Dreamcatcher, and Lisey's Story are the consensus duds. King's praise for Lisey's Story probably keeps that one from the bottom. Sleeping Beauties was awful but King only gets half...
I enjoyed reading "The Old Man and the Hill." A simplistic tale but it has a good moral. It's great that authors like McCammon and Rowling haven't capitulated to the mob mentality like so many some...
My guess is that King thinks he is doing a good deed for a small publisher with whom he has had a working relationship and has no idea of the widespread customer problems. There is absolutely no...
Paul and Suntup are the best thing going but did I read correctly that the 16-page lettered Matheson short story was going for $1K? If so, I might have to reassess Biden's "shrinkflation" which I...
Or Patrick O'Brian?

Frustrating that WB won't release the movie.[/QUOTE]
Careful what you wish for. This is likely to be unwatchable. ...
Great looking book as always but this one holds no interest for me.
Even with low expectations this one is bad. Agent Mulder is wildly out of place. The movie is not only terrible but boring. It's not the worst SK movie in history but it is stupid. Unfortunate,...
Toronto. I think this was Oct. 24, 2013. They handed out presigned copies of Dr. Sleep. And then you were allowed to go through the line after the event. Unreal. I got him to sign Christine and...
Same here. When I first came across his books, I couldn't believe he had been writing for so long and I had never heard of him. His career is comparable to Stephen King in terms of longevity and...
Nice to see McCammon getting the Suntup treatment. Also great that he is signing the Classic edition. I need to go back and read that one again. It's been a long time.
The Sewickley PA event was on June 8, 2016. By some miracle I still have a ticket. The best that I can remember it was a random signed handout of End of Watch. Got one out of two signed.
The...
Not a chance. I think I met you at the George Mason event. In the bar of some hotel.
Here are the ones that I can remember:
Toronto- a tortious drive. It was cold there. No surprise. Sitting with my wife in some type of Canadian shopping mall restaurant while several DTers...
11.22.63 is probably the last of the great King books. All the more so because it accepts the fact that Oswald assassinated JFK and does not entertain fake conspiracy theories to promote the...
A Christmas miracle?
Hope Paul gives some consideration to "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. The 1924 precursor to "1984" and "Brave New World." Something different.
B-U-R-N-T O-F-F-E-R-I-N-G-S
I'm forced to invoke Christmas Music:

It's a race with the grim reaper? I like it. I do worry that they might go bust someday and lots of unfilled orders will never be processed. They are the worst run business that I've ever...
