I don't think this man could be any more charming if he tried.

Only read the CivilWarLand short story but holy smokes, what a short story. I've been trying to get my hands on a used copy for a while but it remains elusive.

Wolf Hall!! I've also been meaning to read it forever. Are you liking it?

So . . . not the Belushi bio?

Definitely check out White Noise. I think it's a lot funnier than most of his other books (granted, my experience with him is limited).

Just bought Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion a few weeks ago after hearing great things from friends. Did you like them?

In the middle of The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman. Never read it when I was a kid and I'm kicking myself for not having gotten into it before. What a crazy, wonderful world he's crafted.

"Do you believe in magic . . . sorcery, mysticisms?"

AY CARM!! WHERE'S THE GABAGOOL??

This is the last time eyelet myself get involved in a pun thread.

This is awesome news. Unfortunately you'd have to kill me and drag my carcass across the desert to get me to Coachella. Maybe they'll tour?

Good gravy I hope Time Chasers makes the cut.

"Thayt's ebsolewtely fessinayting."

It might be but I'm a big fan of Pod People myself.

Troy: "Was I like him?"
Mike: "No he was masculine and likable."

Bolt VanDerHuge!

"Yeah, I defected to Russia before gentrification ruined it."

The only Ellroy books I've read are The Big Nowhere and My Dark Places. Both were incredible and I keep meaning to pick up more of his stuff.

Well yeah, King is writing as a baby boomer with a serious emotional investment in a pivotal event in our country's history. I understand your feelings of detachment, but I think it's important to at least recognize that fact.

11/22/63 is a fantastic brick of a book. Definitely King's best, for my money. Also features one of the greatest parodies/acknowledgements of time travel plot-holes:
