For all of you book lovers out there, I want to recommend one that came out last year and have already read it twice. '11/22/63' by Stephen King. Absolutely brilliant and captivating.
This is King's latest work. It is about a teacher who is told by a dying friend about a portal that takes you back to the same moment in time, 1958, each time you enter. The friend tells him of his plan to go back in time and live there until 1963 and attempt to stop the assassination of JFK, but due to his health, cannot. The teacher decides to fulfill his wish and complete his plan. King actually had the idea for this early in his career back in the seventies, but put it off because of the amount of research it would require, as well as not feeling he was quite good enough a writer at the time to pull it off. Even if you are not a fan of King, I recommend this. Easily one of his five best novels. |

I'm not reading a book right now. But, I ordered Lex's book (Moving Day) from Barnes & Noble the other day and when I checked their link to UPS I found out it left Nashville TN this morning and is due to be delivered by the end of the day on thursday
So, hopefully I'll be reading that this weekend

I'm reading about 2 books a day, which is why I'm not posting. I'm starting another romance shortly, and then Age of Aztec by James Lovegrove.
