Dead Souls by Michael Laimo
The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver.:D
 
Since I had such a short wait at the Driver's License Bureau this morning, I had time to stop at one of my favorite used bookstores and this is what I brought home:

Holy Bible, NIV..free-they give away Bibles
Picture Bible(brand new)
Dubliners-James Joyce
Ireland-Frank Delaney
Cancer Ward-Alexander Solzhenitsyn
The Brothers Karamazov-Fyodor Dostoyevsky
 
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Venus in Furs.

By Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

In ebook format.

Actually i just downloaded it.

From Project Gutenburg.

I'm not gonna lie to you.
 
If you like the first ones.....

Just bought Dark Tower parts 5,6,&7.:D




That series only goes uphill from where you left off.

If you did leave of at Wizard and Glass, a book which I first found slow, then slowly captivating and ultimately tragic.

Every time I happen to see Clint Eastwood, I picture Roland, and the other way around.
 
Heard it Through the Grapevine....

Marvel is doing a complete rendition of the Dark Tower Series in Graphic novel Format.

Definetly on my to-buy list.
 
Robin Furth is dialoging the Dark Tower graphic Novel.

Furth wrote the concordincies pertaining to King's Dark Tower, the concordincies being two volumes covering everything there is to know about the world of the Dark Tower, the events of the novel and King's inspirations which formed his 7 book series.

Definetly worth checking out if you are a Dark Tower fan like me.
