Mongoloid: It was the last time I checked lol

Mongoloid: Sounds good. It would be interesting to see how a 19th century author imagined lfe would be like that far into the future. Thanks for the tip :-)

Skyking: Interesting fact.

I've just started reading a book by the grandson of J.R.R.Tolkien. His name is Simon Tolkien and he is a barrister in England. The book is called Final Witness and is the junior Tolkien's first novel. I've only read the first couple of chapters yet (too soon to rate the book). His style of story telling is different from what I'm used to reading but eerily close to my own!

Both excellent reads in my opinion Harley! :-)

My fave all time author has to be Charles Dickens! What a story teller!!!

Any movie with Tom Hanks is sure to be a hit...wish I'd read that one first though

that was a good movie...haven't read the book yet. Working on his latest now...From a Buick 8

When I was reading Tommyknockers I almost gave up on it a couple of times. About 100 pages devoted to (damn forget the character's name but Jimmy Smits played him in the movie lol)
I was determined to see that book through to the end and I'm glad I did! It was infinitely better than the movie :-)

Is that the only King book you've read?
If so check out Nighmares and Dreamscapes...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Have you read John Saul or Dean Koontz? They are both awesome!

Yes I did Butch and it was one of those rare incidents where I found the movie to be better lol
Maybe that's because I saw the movie before I read the book lol

FYI My favourite story by King is Dolan's Cadillac...it's published in his book Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
Has anyone read it who would like to comment?

I just finished reading Stephen King's latest compilation of short stories,Everything's Eventual.
Some of the stories were typical King and held potential. Unfortunately,it couldn't measure up to Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
But who am I to talk...that guy can write better in his sleep than I ever could lol
