Yeah I enjoyed that one too. I just read his book about taking a flatboat down the Mississippi. Very engaging. Wish I could persuade my kids to do that with me. Sounds like a great family project.
Literally just looked this up and ordered it! Southern Iowa Homies unite!I liked “ In the Garden of the Beasts”. Reading “Centerville A Mid-American Saga”. surprisingly good. Very well researched and written. Never thought I would read a 500 page book on Southeast Iowa.
I read most of King’s books 5-10 years ago but finally got around to 11/22/63 this year. Great concept and story.I've always liked the idea of Stephen King books. I sometimes can't bring myself to start. But I did just re-start The Stand, on audio book this time. I was very intrigued by the first couple hundred pages before. Hoping supplementing with the audiobook helps this time.
The Shining and "11/22/63" are others of his I really liked.
He also has a couple that are more a conglomeration of short stories, which can be a bit less intimidating to start.
I am extremely late to the party it seems. I have never read anything by Stephen King. But, I just finished Pet Semetary and I loved it! It the best book I've read in the last few months.
Can someone give me any recommendations based on that? Maybe another one by King? Or, something else with similar vibes?
I think he also wrote The Lost Boys which is not science fiction. I loved that story. I need to get back to the Stephen King books I haven’t read - the most recent ones.May want to check out Orson Scott Card. Ender's Game is a masterpiece
I really enjoyed Ender's Game. I'm currently reading the sequel, Speaker for the Dead. Kind of interesting that Speaker for the Dead was what he considered the "real" book, not Ender's Game which didn't start off as a novel.May want to check out Orson Scott Card. Ender's Game is a masterpiece
I enjoyed Grant’s memoirs. Twain helped him with the publishing end of things.A little over halfway through Devil in the White City (liking it so far) and just bought part 2 of the Conquering Tide- Pacific War trilogy and Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S Grant (just saw a social media post about the latter from the History Channel and it sounded worthwhile).
Yeah I would prefer Enders Game 3:1 over Speaker for the Dead. And I don't usually care for books with gimmicky plot twists. It's got something to do with the rollicking happy go lucky flavor of the thing I guessI really enjoyed Ender's Game. I'm currently reading the sequel, Speaker for the Dead.
