Stephen King's 11/22/63: A Novel

Just finished reading Stephen King's latest: 11/22/63: A Novel.
I have been a Stephen King reader for a long time, so I restlessly anticipated getting this one in my hot little hands.

Like so many of his, it's a big one - close to 1,000 pages, and it never fails to amaze me how he can keep me essentially riveted from the first page to the last.

All I can say is that I loved it as much as I'd hoped to -and I completely bailed on my responsibilities while I read the whole thing in 2 days.

What a great read - what a great escape. He is truly the consumate storyteller.

The Kite Runner

I picked up The Kite Runner in our building library, and finally read it this weekend. What a glorious read! It was one of those books that I'd heard mentioned a hundred times, but I didn't know anything about it - just opened and started to read.

I didn't stop until I was finished, and though it was rife with dramatic ups and downs, I felt good when I turned the last page. I have been avoiding books that I fear may be too depressing - I am too afraid that I can't handle the emotional weight - but maybe The Kite Runner has changed my mind.

A perfect rainy afternoon book - if you are a fiction lover, don't miss it.
