@Ms B. Having and spookymonster: Thank you for clearing that up! Obviously, I have not read the comics. I was making myself a little crazy trying to figure out how I missed something like that!

Thanks for the recommendations Holku! And also thanks for being frank about how it still might not be for me haha. If I happen to run out of other things (I have about 15 unread books on my shelves right now), I may give him another shot.

This might be a stupid question, but as for The Walking Dead... WHY are we wondering if Lori's preggers?? Did I miss something? I just watched Sunday's episode last night, and while her conflict about Carl's possible death and having to raise a child in that world could easily tie in to an internal debate about…

Maybe I just chose the wrong books to attempt. I got through about half of Cujo and I forced myself to finish The Langoliers. Maybe someday, down the road, I'll make another attempt! Any particular recommendation?

Aaaaand THIS is what I think of whenever I hear ANYTHING about royals and eccentricity. (Thank you, Eddie!)

I tried reading Stephen King a few times, and I just got bored. I do, however, like to watch adaptations of his work. I am VERY excited about this!

As enjoyable as that would be, let us hope he's never so desperate!

I do too, but at least the "heftier" version of him still has the same voice. I wonder how much he'd charge to have him read my email to me for a day...

Maybe that explains why I used to wake up totally turned around with footprints on the walls when I was little... Huh!

Yeah, I've never had the teeth-falling-out dream either. I'd probably wake up and vomit if I did (that stuff SERIOUSLY grosses me out).

I haven't bothered with any kind of e-reader. I love physical books too much to let them go! When I bought my house, I decided what was intended to be a dining room would be much better suited as a library, and I was absolutely right about that.

LOL, they also never crash! Ever! Definitely not a few times a week!

I've made a few attempts to read his father's, and I was always disappointed (I just find his style to be incredibly boring). Joe Hill, on the other hand, I REALLY enjoy. I read Heart-Shaped Box too, and they're both page-turners. I'm looking forward to more from him!

This was a really hard vote, but "As the World Falls Down" definitely would've gotten one from me. That's been one of my favorite songs for about 2.5 decades now.

You win Monday, Grey_Area.

That is a fanTAStic idea! Personally, I think having it entirely wallpapered might be a bit much, but something like a chair-rail level "border" would be incredible.

AaaaaAAAAW! I wish I could find a reason my office needed to buy those for our creative department (AKA me).

That's what my friends and I do too. You can "schedule appointments" and ask about his "hourly rate," or see what he's "up to this weekend."

If you're a horrible person, then so am I. I skimmed to see whether the dog survived. I wouldn't ever wish death on someone, but mistreating animals is inexcusable in my book.

I feel like I should point out that I fall more into the "Fictional/Historical" stereotype, in that I've now filled up 3 huge bookcases and have turned what was once a dining room into my library in my house. I had at least 10 boxes of nothing but books when I moved in January. Everyone who helped hated me.
