I'm almost halfway through Stephen king's new novel, 11/22/63, and I absolutely love it! I'm definitely going to be reading more of King once I'm finished with this one.

Several people have now mentioned "The Book Thief" to me. I'm going to have to take a look.

Careful with King...he's writ some wonderful stuff, but also some real dogs. ("Cell", f'rinstance. Yugh.) Best of King: "'Salem's Lot," "The Stand," "Everything's Eventual," "Night Shift," "Danse Macabre," "The Shining." I liked "Duma Key" and "Under the Dome" and about half of "Just After Sunset" a great deal; still slugging through "Full Dark, No Stars" and haven't made up my mind yet, although the writing in that one is lush. I know very little of the Dark Tower series, though I liked the first book he did with Peter Straub, "The Talisman." Good to hear the new one is worth a read! The concept sounded intriguing.

Just finished Mockingjay. I started The Five People You Meet In Heaven last night, which should be a fairly quick read. Then I'm gonna read Bossypants and then the second book in the Game of Thrones series.
