Right now I am reading Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman. I love her writing.

It's in the queue after I read Devil and Angels. Sarah has read it, but unfortunately I do not get much time to read for pleasure (other than LP of course). So I only manage about 6 fiction books a year, if that.

I have a deadline though as I need to read both books before the Da Vinci Code movie comes out.

Also about the Dark Tower, it was one of the first books that King started but has evolved. He didnt like the way it was written and rewrote it. One of those almost secret manuscripts, but he released it. Its a great series and I think would make a great miniseries some day.

Yes, I know that but I believe the question was asking about characters from the Gunslinger books showing up in Black House.

All this talking about those books makes me want to reread them all.

Whoops, forgot to mention that just the other day I read "The Colorado Kid" by Stephen King, not a horror story but his take on the dime store crime novels from the past.

Finished "Black House" by King & Straub. Just started James Patterson's "Mary, Mary." Alex Cross takes his family to DLR for a vacation! (Maybe everybody else already knew that.)

Not that good. I got through the first hundred pages and realized the story is going nowhere. Very disappointed. I'd recommend State of Fear instead.
