I almost forgot the weekly thread again, so just putting it up, will post my updates later.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm currently reading Kings 'It' for the first time. The mix of nostalgia and horror is fun

And Shirer's 'Fall of the Third Republic' which is a fascinating bit of history that rhymes with contemporary authoritarian politics.

    I love that book. Ive only read it twice, and decided to skip the uncomfortable part on the second read through. Overall its near the top of my Stephen King list.

    I've not read much King. Heart's in Atlantis and 11/22/63.

    It's fascinating, his prose isn't beautiful but he captures human emotion in a very visceral way. I understand why people read him.

    Insomnia was the first book from King that I read and had a real emotional connection to a story.

    Even if you haven't connected on other stories. That one was so good on a human level.
