What are you currently reading?

I've been on a Stephen King kick right now. I just finished reading the Shining, so I went straight into Doctor Sleep. I'm pretty disappointed so far...

I like this thread. Currenty reading The Plague by Albert Camus and I really love it. Very well written, but dark and disturbing.

Knots and Crosses. I've read more recent books by Ian Rankin so it's interesting to go back to one of his earlier works.

"Pedagogy of the oppressed" by Paulo Freire, the spanish version.

I'm reading some Magick books.

@JustPlainLucas: Yes I agree. Doctor Sleep was a dull book. No part of it is scary at all.

I heard the film is pretty good however, but I missed it at the cinema.

I am actually also on a Stephen King run, I am about half way through the Tommy Knockers.

The Stand is still my favourite Stephen King book.

Believe it or not but I reading Garfield vol. 1,2,and 3. I enjoy it, simple and funny. Books don't register in my head, unless it's magazines or the newspapers. Funny comic strips, like Garfield, Blondie, Beatle Bailey, etc... They stick with me.

The disaster artist, for the second time. Not a great book but it makes me lol almost from beginning to end.

I'm intrigued. What's it about? I'm guessing a plague?

I keep getting Tommy Knockers confused with The Langoliers. I haven't read either, but I guess it's because there were TV movies for both that came out around the same time.

I'm putting The Stand on my reading list for next year. I'm still intimidated by the size of, though, but I read It this year and it went by pretty quickly.

Garfield's one of my favorite. I also really love The Far Side, and I heard Gary Larson is going to be writing them again.

I actually read that one, and while reading it, I found out they were making it into a movie. Tommy Wiseau is such a strange, mysterious man....

Just started Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman

Yep, it's about a plague hitting France in the 1940s. There's a lot of metaphor and philosophy in the novel and it's split into five parts. I strongly recommend it.

@JustPlainLucas: Tommy Knockers is long, it really drags on. I guess King wrote it during those brick novel years. But hopefully I will finish it within the next two weeks and move on.

Going back to Doctor Sleep, I think it was his first book with a new publisher. I suspected he wanted a good start by writing a sequel to The Shining.

If you like a good horror novel, Hell House by Richard Matheson is pretty good. It’s relatively short compared to brick novels, but it has scary parts.
