I just finished reading Mr. Mercedes, and I feel bad, because SK keeps writing the SAME stuff and I LURV it and devour it, and feel like a sheep, and I couldn't get through Dr. Sleep, which I suspect is probably actually something different and better.

Now I'm reading Gillian Flynn's Dark Places, which is twisted and suspenseful, and has not one single redeeming character in sight. I love it, but I'm a little nervous to get to the end because I liked her other Sharp Objects all the way through, and then after closing the book, realized that there was actually a lot that I didn't like about it. We'll see.

you absolutely mustn't feel bad. some things just aren't for everyone. i loved the fuck out of doctor sleep. i toted it around everywhere, slept with it, buckled it into the passenger seat in my car when i drove. i also ate-peed-slept joyland though, so i'm probably super biased with certain authors. i just love them to bits and they can do no wrong. mostly.

ohhhh interesting that you should say that. two of the e-books i currently have checked out are gone girl and dark places. i've started gone girl, but i'm not very far into it. i've heard really good things about the author though.

Hmmmm. Joyland is also sitting on my bedside table, a couple chapters read and not picked up again. Give me something about each of them to intrigue me. I usually plow through everything by him. Did I ever mention that I went to UMaine, and got a scholarship from him and his wife, so I got to meet them? Very cool people, and generous too.

OK, just put Joyland on my treadmill.

Also, just learned that while I am coordinated enough to walk and read at the same time, the same does not go for running. Definitely not while running.

no, you definitely never mentioned you met him. i'd have probably peed. lol. no, no probably. i absolutely would have.

the sharp objects e-book just became available from my library (i'd had it on hold) and i've checked it out and started in on it. much excitement.

also happy you're giving joyland another try. i did find it to be quite different from his usual stuff, but i enjoyed it so much regardless. especially the description of virginity loss. felt very, very teenage boy to me. ♥

You had me at teenage boy virginity loss.
