Read The Princess Bride by William Goldman, reading The Name of the Rose by Umburto Eco.

Have also read a ton of comics, as gleefully burn through the Usagi Yojimbo library.

I finally finished Insomnia

it was really good.

perhaps that's just because I'm a RIDICULOUSLY avid Dark Tower enthusiast, but i really enjoyed the read.

in King's longer works, I often feel like he detours through almost wholly unnecessary sidebars...I don't feel like he really did that here. it is a bit on the long side and could be quickened with some editing, but i also feel like that editing wouldn't allow the story to breathe, and with something as ethereal as the stuff being described in this novel, it NEEDS time to breathe and sink in.

So, I FINALLY finished Rose Madder a little over two weeks ago (it was not that good...so sue me)

and since then I have been GOBBLING up King books, seems like he finally broke through whatever was holding him back in the late 80s through the mid-90s (beginning with Thinner and ending with Rose Madder with clunkers such as Tommyknockers, Dolores Claiborne and the terribly AVERAGE The Dark Half thrown in - King had been in a slump and of 13 books written during those years there's probably only 2 I'll ever REALLY want to re-read; those being The Eyes of the Dragon and Gerald's Game)

I've since read:
The Green Mile really good but not great. it plugs along a little slowly when you sit and read it all at once due to some overlaps on beginnings, endings and little details since it was a serial novel, but it does have enough differences from the film to merit a read.

Desperation - a near home-run. Desperation has MANY of the calling cards of a GREAT King novel

The Regulators - an absolute home-run. i know in many ways it's the same as Desperation but I prefer the feel of this one...it's a bit more out-there and i like that

Bag of Bones - absolutely a PHENOMENAL novel. this is one of King's absolute BEST.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon - let's make that three (four if i want to include Desperation which i really liked at the time but pales in comparison to these three) in a ROW! this book is AMAZING

Dreamcatcher - let the good times roll.

Black House - it's not bad in it's own right, but it's a bit of a disappointing follow-up to both the novel it sequels (The Talisman) and the recent run of absolutely AMAZING reads.
