What about the other 2 books in the series? There is Wind through the keyhole and the revised version of The Gunslinger.

Without going into spoilers I count the revised GUnslinger as the last book in the series.

I don't get why the books 5,6 and 7 get so much hate. I can kinda get why the ending of book 7 gets some hate. But if you had read the first 4 books closely King had been leading up to the ending of Book 7 for a long time. There was clues all over.

One of the major Dark Tower websites correctly predicted the ending of book 7 right about the time book 5 came out.


Last book I read was Sick Little Monkeys the unofficial story of Ren and Stimpy. The author managed to get pretty much everyone that worked on Ren and Stimpy,besides John K,to talk to him. And there is lots of stuff revealed in the book I had never heard before. And I have read plenty of fan press,interviews and other stuff from various people that worked on Ren and Stimpy. It feels like I am one of the few people that read all the Ren and Stimpy articles in the short lived Wild Cartoon Kingdom magazine.

Mad Dog, Midgets and Screwjobs Jobs: the History of Montreal Wrestling 7/10. It got kind of repetitive.

Capitol Revolution - great read for wrestling fans who want to learn about early WWE history

9/10

The Bible. Praise be 5/7! The parts where Jesus does stuff is the best

I read this and liked it. Whole series of books. 9/10

I loved this book as a teenager, probably because of all the dirty dirty sex that happened "off-camera".

This series was my jam when I was in elementary and middle school. Was obsessed with them, but now I'm not.

7/10

LOL

I have a pretty large collection of true crime/serial killer books from that age. I might throw them out.

Really? That's kind of cool. I read a lot of Stephen King novels too, but I preferred science fiction and fantasy.

I generally like Grisham's work, but this one was weak. 5/10

I love every book in the original Ender series except the last one.

I liked it, Xenocide was my favorite of the sequels and Children of the Mind had all the fallout from the events that started in Xenocide.. There were some nutty bits added in though

After SPOILER happened I gave up on COTM.

I forgot how to do spoiler tags apparently.

Orson Scott Card prefers Serenity to Ender's Game. He thinks it's the best sci fi movie ever made.
I have never read his books.

I liked Foundation by Asimov. It's possibly the least colourful style of writing I have ever seen, like a scientific diary or something but it's somehow brilliant despite that.

Orson Scott Card is kind of insane & you might be referring to the Ender's Game movie, which was really just a hollywood money grab

I didn't find myself enthralled by Foundation.. started it about a month ago and read maybe half when it was the only book I had in Europe, now that I'm back amongst my own library I moved on to others

I used to read his blog religiously

Forrest Gump - 7.5/10

Started off kind of like the movie and then veered drastically off. I still enjoyed reading it.

Get in the Van-8 outta 10

Rollins book about his time in Black Flag. Great read.

I quit smoking pot a few months ago so I've had to find things to do to fill that time I used to waste so I got myself a library card. I've been on a Stephen King movie kick so I've decided to go to his world and read as many of his works that I can.

3/5

This is a quick novella set in the 1970's in Castle Rock. Gwendy is a young girl who meets a mysterious man who bestows upon her a magical box with 9 buttons. 7 of which represent the major geographic areas on the planet and two others which represent "whatever she wants" or "total annihilation". The box also provides other "gifts" that help her throughout the short story. The book was written initially by King but once he hit a wall he sent it to Chizmar who added to it, send it back to King, and after a couple more trades they had a finished product. The chapters are very short, almost like an outline than an in depth depiction of events. I did enjoy it though, it spoke to me in a way that was very contemporary even though it was set in the 70's. I wouldn't describe the book as a scary, but rather intriguing and suspenseful. I finished the book in just over 2 hours so it doesn't take a lot of time, if you'd like something quick and fun I would recommend it.

I have "Needful Things" on hold at the library so I will jump into that soon. I'll probably go and pick up something else from King tomorrow.

I just finished about a month ago. Took me awhile to get going on it, but once I got past like page 100, I finished the book in 3-4 days.

I made sure that friends that had read the book did not tell me the ending. Loved the ending and it actually made my jaw drop.

Agreed, the book never had a flow to it. It was just like "eh" the entire time.

Although nothing will ever compare to when The Testament and the Brethren were back to back books for him. WOW

Gump & Co. - 5/10

I dunno. I wasn't really feeling most of this book. A far cry from the first one.

Amy poehler's autobiography "Yes Please" was okay, generally it's hard to make an autobiography interesting and not masturbatory and she did pretty good, she praises Hillary Clinton and some other dickheads a bit too much imo, but some parts are funny and thoughtful, had a lot of variety

I Am Zlatan zlatan ibrahimovic book... really good for an autobiography... Probably the only athlete who is very interesting and has a different perspective on things and is also just an insanely good athlete. I read a david foster wallace "review" of this autobiography about some nymphette Tennis starlet, Traci Austin, where he was supremely disappointed that she was pretty empty headed despite being a brilliant tennis player, and he concluded that basically having nothing going through your head is the essence of being able to be perform at that level. Zlatan is in the >1% of athletes to whom this doesnt apply (maybe Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant also)... Zlatan also appears to be the only athlete who doesn't thank Jesus for every single good thing that happens to him. Love this book, love zlatan, there are a lot of funny stories and quotes like "I once fell off the roof of the child care center" and "Louis Van Gaal is a pompous ass"

You should probably read a few more books if you honesy think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the only athlete who is good at his job, has a personality and who has something to say.

Christ.

Like who

There are literally hundreds. If it's football you like then give Alex Ferguson, Harry Redknapp and Brian Clough. If you're looking for slightly more recent players then for various reasons Gazza, Roy Keane, Tony Adams and Paul Merson are worth reading. Every one of them a cunt or a disaster.

I'm just saying that as far as interesting characters go, Zlatan is far from alone.

2019 books so far:

"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari
Was many years since I have read an "educational" book, and was worried my brain couldn't take it, but I couldn't put it down and read it pretty quick actually. Lots of interesting thoughts, if a bit pessimistic about humans at times.

"Death on the Nile" by Agatha Christie
First book of hers I have read... I liked the focus on dialog and just working everything out through polite conversation, logic, and reasoning.

"Death in the Clouds" by Agatha Christie
Decided to try another one. Enjoyed it, but not as much as Death in the Nile. The end of this one felt more like "oh yeah, let's do a twist".... technically the twist was still based in logic and reason, but not in a way that was "oh yeah, I should have thought of that", more like "who would even think of that in that way?".

"Nobody Knows but Everybody Remembers" by Mark Long

It is essentially a memoir by one of the original and longest serving members of the performance arts/fringe theatre company, The People Show. I'm cataloguing their archives, so I read it as part of my background research. It kind of helped that I had already had a cursory look through the records in the archive and read some other books on British fringe theatre, as the narrative of the book is all over the place; one moment the author could be talking about something in the late 1960s and then jump to another event in the 1990s. An amusing read, at times, though.

Book #4 of 2019:

"Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow" by Yuval Noah Harari.
It was harder to get into this book, as the first third or so felt like a recap of things I just read in his first book. The last third, where he actually talks about the future was very interesting! Fascinating to think about, and I got stuck in some deep thoughts.

2019 Book #5:

"The Lost City of The Monkey God" by Douglas Preston. A true accounting of the search for a lost city in the Honduras rainforest.

Amazing the secrets, dangers, and wonder that can still be found on our planet! That a journey to somewhere on our own planet can be harsher and more dangerous than a journey to the moon.

Also, I think I'm developing a reading problem. I wanted to read more books in 2019, and now I am reading books too fast. It has also really set back my comic book reading.

I've read three books so far. Goal is to read at least one a month but can obviously go past that.

Dopesick- Was a book that went into great detail about the opioid crisis in America. Very in depth book that allowed you to see why so many people who used Oxycontin ended up using heroin. 9/10

A Cold Day in Paradise. Typical Murder thriller. This was recommended by a teacher friend of mine and it did not disappoint. Dragged on a bit but had a pretty good ending. 8/10

The Reckoning by John Grisham- Grisham lately has been so hit or miss. This book, at least in my eyes, did not disappoint me at all. I loved it. It had a story that made you question the motives of a guy, hate him, then root for him because of his past and ended with an ending that made my jaw hit the floor. I would put it in the top 5 of his books in my eyes. 10/10

Just happened to catch something about this on TV in a show called "Museum Mysteries". It was maybe a 5 minute segment rife with inaccuracies, over exaggerations, and sensationalism. Made me chuckle.

2019 Book #6: "We Have The Technology: How Biohackers, Foodies, Physicians, and Scientists Are Transforming Human Perception One Sense At a Time" by Kara Platoni.

I picked this book by going to the "science" section of the library and judging the books by their covers. Overall, there were some interesting chapters and thoughts to be had, and I don't REGRET reading it..... but... I guess I see now why they tell you not to judge books from their covers. Also, the font in the book was very small, which bugged me.

2019 Book #7: "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I didn't really care for it. There were pretty much 0 likeable characters in the book, and felt like no real purpose to it.

Read Garth Ennis's The Crossed.

Serious question: What in the actual fuck is wrong with Garth Ennis?

Also, started reading Fire and Blood. Reads like a wikipedia article so far.

I didn't finish this book when I tried to read it (I was like 21) had to keep referring back to the family tree of people with the same name and got confused...
