Thread: Books

No, I didn't. But I read few good books that Stephen King wrote. They were really scary.

Once i tried to read the first Rose Madder book that Steven King wrote but didn't make it past the first three pages. It was just very sad. More horrible than horrific, with that part about the miscarriage. But some people say it's his best book.

I think it is actually Stephen Welcome to StephenKing.com

I like his books.

Stephen is a genius. I read Misery and Cujo. Also The Shining and Green Mile (two blockbuster movies) are based on his books.

Now I'm preoccupied with A Clash Of Kings (2nd part of the Song Of Fire And Ice serial, with the first being A Game of Thrones). George Martin is unbelievable writer. Plot twists, killing of characters, war, political intrigues, bonding to a certain character than making us hate him/her... Unbelievable.
Still haven't watched to show, tho.

I read Green Mile, and I also saw movie. I want to get deeper into world of Tolkien.

Well you could. You'd be amazed how small is LOtR compared to the whole world of Tolkien.

Do you know what books and where to find them?

Well if you want to start with history and explanation of the middle earth, read Silmarilion, then read his Unfinished Stories and Children Of Hurin, and then finish with Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I'm guessing you already read Hobbit.
You can buy them in almost every bookstore. I've seen them everywhere I've entered.

Yes, he's amazing at his details, very chilling and frightening. Very realistic, sometimes too much so. But you can get very much immersed in the Steven King books.

Great shaidar. I will buy them asap.
