The Stand It's Stephen King's magnum opus. I re-read this every couple of years. I'm always finding something new and yet I can't wait to get to any of many of my favorite parts. Different Season's is my favorite short story collection. My heart bursts with jubilation at the discovery of the escape...

The original Shannara trilogy was (and is) a nice series to break in to reading of fantasy; on par with Christopher Paolini's Heritage series. Nowhere near the level of SRD and JRRT. I don't know how Brooks has managed to produce nearly 20 (and on and on...) Shannara books that are essentially the ...

The Man Who... 1. Tried to Get Away 2. Killed His brother 3. Risked His Partner I'm currently working through Fought Alone I enjoyed the fact that TMWTtGA was so much like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (aka 10 Little Indians). The opening murder shocked me, even though I was looking for...

To me, it's a no brainer. He has the size. A deep voice, but one than can express depth, emotion, and love of the land.

Joe Seahawk fan here. 3 terrible calls by the refs. 1. Interference on apparent TD catch. 2. Rothlesberger didn't score. (Not sure Stealers would not have scored anyway.-Who knows what coaches decide after missing 3 opportunities less than two yards from goal. 3. Holding. Yes, it was holding, but th...

Because of Robert Jordan, I have stopped reading books that are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc... in a series until the entire series has been completed. Even when it takes me weeks to get through a book, I still have to wait months, and sometimes years for the next one to arrive. Inevitably, I need to reread t...

I don't know if it was the written word or the circumstance.. Way back in high school, I was reading Carrie . I remeber it being late. After midnight for sure. I was reading about the sequence at the end where Carrie lets it all loose on the town. There is a sentence that mentions the sirens going o...

Start with Night Shift . It's full of all sorts of gruesome (short) stories. He's still developing his technique and rhythm, but some of the stories just blow you away! Battleground ? BOOM! Trucks ?

I believe you will all be pleasantly surprised at this final installment. As mentioned in a review by another TWOSWF everything appears to dovetail nicely with the OT. From what I've read in the book it also dovetails with events of the first two Episodes of the NT. Some events with Qui-Gon come to ...

How do I approach this? I'm a TWOSWF. I wouldn't call these films simplistic. We're talking about political intrigue as well as religious subjects. That's topped off with a love story. It's a story (ala LotR) that's for all ages. Lord Foul With all due respect, I understand why you feel the prequels...
