Your horse and carriage response made me giggle. I started "the mist" today. I LOVED reading IT. I didn't want it to end.
Stephen King books

It's a terrific read isn't it?
I wished it had been longer too, though that may have spoiled it.
Some of King's books are a little too long IMO.
the horse and carriage thing was just horseplay with Cameron (jaizei).
He can take a joke (I hope), he's pretty funny himself.
That must be why people are always laughing when I walk by.
That's one of the reasons I like the Bachman books. I haven't read The Regulators, but the others (Rage, Long Walk, Running Man, Road Work) and Thinner are on point.
All good.
Another changed ending "The Running Man".
The whole point is he can't possibly win.
And in the film, he does.
Thinner is one of my faves, too.
I knew you were kidding, especially since they have a sense of humor as well. I just liked the seriousness!
I am an off and on reader myself; I've never been able to sit very long or keep my attention. I randomly picked up IT as my first Stephen king book and fell in love with his style, except Cujo was not a good read.
If you like true crime books, I really enjoyed reading the Angel of Darkness and The Night Stalker. Really creepy serial killers. When my dad worked on death row at San Quentin, California, he came into contact with these guys. He said the only guy that gave him the creeps when he looked at him was Randy Kraft, the freeway killer.

Randy Kraft sounds like an aphrodisiac cheese.
Might try and get these, but may be difficult here.
I also disliked Cujo.
I wouldn't mind giving my copies away.
Very kind of you, but i'm a long way from California!
He absolutely was an aphrodisiac. Reading his story made it VERY clear. Some portions of the book were tough to read, they were very descriptive.
I see that! It would probably be more cost efficient to buy it online.
Yep.
Thanks, anyway.

I also really enjoyed "Cell" I think that was a Stephen King book
Cool! I'm almost done with "the mist". It was getting creepy until I read what it actually was. But, it's good! If you like mystery books, I LOVED the book "Plum Island" by Nelson Demille. It's based on a real island we're they do experiments with animals.
Well, I'm done with the mist. Its was overall worth reading. Which one should I start next that you see in the image? I've read IT, the mist, and cujo.

Waiting on new wheels and tires for my bike build .
So I imagine we'll see you sometime next month?
Aside from Under the Dome, I've been slacking on most of his books from the 2000s. I think other than Dome, the last 'new' book of his I read was Everything's Eventual'.
