Is this about a forensic Dr who solves murders?

Here’s Johnny!

No. It's about a young girl who dies and watches her family and friends deal with her death from heaven.

 

[shinybikiniwife]

Here’s Johnny!

No, you're Jason. It says so in your handle.

Oh, wow, does sound interesting

I am almost half way through it. It was made into a movie in 2009. Gotta finish the book so I can watch the movie again.

Book is always better, isn’t it?

The only one that I like the movie as much as is Exorcist.

 

[AZDryHeat]

The BBC version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Alec Guinness was as good as the book.

The Shining - Stephen King

Sometimes there’s nothing better than classic King.

Oh my gosh I don’t know if I could handle that..

I'm having a hard time starting it as I'm still freaked out by the endings of some recent reads... Pet semetary and cujo. Ugh.

I read 11/23/63 in the fall and promised myself I’d stay away from King for a yesr..

If you haven’t read it, you should.. it’s a different kind of scary.

I read Pet Semetary years ago and I still can't watch the movie. I get to a certain beginning part and I'm "no, no, no...I know what happens." And turn it off!

I read Pet Semetary when I was in 8th grade. I was baby sitting for a friend's granddaughter over my spring break. They had a wash and a trail behind their house. When I came to a deadfall, I ran back to the house and didn't go back out there the rest of the week! Seems silly now, but scared the shit outta me then! I have probably ready it 20 times since.

Reading Steven King will do that.

The BBC version of Tinker Tailor Sodier Spy with Alec Guinness was as good as the book.

Agreed. I love both. Smiley's People less so. I prefer the book more.

 

[jeff_is_smiling]

Hail Mary, by Andy Weir - the author of The Martian. Spectacular opening to the book. I've only just begun reading it and I'm very much hooked.

 

[VincentFloyd]

I have to start the Expanse series, it’s been staring at me a while

 

[barefootgirl69]

I started a book last night and put it aside after page 9. On page 7, it had her age and that of her sister. It went on to talk of her age 4 years later, but didn't change the sister's age. The next, on page 9, said she was the mistress of a home that had been in her mother's family for hundreds of years...but, the previous pages has her father taking her and sister away from home when her mother died and leaving them. I'm confused.

How could this be a National Best Seller? How could an editor miss this? I felt like I was reading some amateur Lit author who chose to not to use an editor. Right now, I'm not sure if I should continue. I don't want to be further disappointed.

 

[Scareltt]

Loved this.
Have you read Rose Madder?

I have not read Rose Madder and up until now it wasn’t on my radar.. but now it is..

When I finish “The Wild Oats Project” Robin Rinaldi I’ll give Rose Madder a try.
