Finally pulled this one of the "to-be-read" shelves. I've previously read "Hard Times", "The Good War", and "Working".

Just finished Carrie by Stephen King. I've been reading his stuff for 40+ years and never ready Carrie or Salem's Lot. Picked up both on Thriftbooks and knocked out Carrie in a couple days.
This is next.

25% thru this dystopian tale, still trying to figure out the story.
Next up this follow up of short stories from the King book "The Stand". Reviews sound promising. Nearly every famous current writer has a story it seems.

I’m about halfway through. The detailed description of the variations of these rituals across time and region is both a helluva demonstration of research prowess and (for a layman like myself) a drink from a firehose
Sir Henry Rider Haggard is far better known as the author of Victorian adventure novels such as She, and King Solomon's Mines - I only recently found out that when he returned to England from Africa he took up farming in a serious way, and wrote a book about a particular year on his farm in Norfolk. He knows how to engage the reader's attention, no matter what the subject - and he wanders off conversationally onto many diverse topics, such as the geology and history of the area, the people, comparing his farming experiences in Africa, and the political and religious issues of the day. The sort of chap you'd like to have as a dinner guest.
Heard great things about this one! I read Between Two Fires (also by Buehlman) and enjoyed it. Very different.
Love your choice of book. That Lovecraft book is a classic.
You can call me prejudiced but this is the first book written by my son, who is a high school senior.

I just finished reading both volumes of "Memoirs of U. S. Grant, vol.1 1885, vol.2 1886.
I was inspired to buy these by Bret Baier's book on Grant... Grant wrote these while he was painfully dying of throat cancer to provide for his wife after he died. VERY well written, he writes like he's sitting across a table from you, just talking. Wonderful "pipe books."
My copies are intact, but a little rough, which made them affordable...

I have read a few of Nick Cutter's books. Hoping this one is as good as they were...
