What books have you bought this week?

[Lee Y]

"The Pilo Family Circus" by, Will Elliott

Clowns & horror.....wait, that's what I thought when I was 5 years old! :biggrin2:

[bopropadop]

Insomnia and The Dark Half used HC editions from the local library. $3 each. They make nice reading copies and are perfect to loan out to family and friends.

[crazycrashink]

I found hardback editions of Bag of Bones, The Stand uncut, and Drood at the local half price bookstore. I'm very happy. Last week, I made a Borders trip and spent an arm and a leg on paperback copies of Pet Sematary, The Dark Half, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and a Dave Sedaris book.

Bop, I'm jealous you find cool books at your library sale!! I never find anything cool in the bins at mine! :biggrin2:

You know, it's funny (or odd) but I have three county libraries within a 10 minute drive in three different directions. All of them have book sales going at various times. I usually make the circuit to all three each weekend just to glance through what's available.

Where I live is quite populated so there's always a library, school, or police/fire department around every corner. My tax dollars hard at work. :smile2:

[Jax]

I haven't bought any books for myself this week, but I ordered several for my daughter through the school's Scholastic book club. She's just like mom the way she likes her books.:)

[Haunted]

The Art of Racing in the Rain, and Queen of Bedlam

[bopropadop]

So they would be Burke, Annandale and where?:biggrin2:

Pohick, Kings Park, and Burke. All within 10 minutes. :smile2:

[tillyn]

Been working, getting to used book store this weekend hopefully! Looking for a Lovecraft or some good HC. SK's for my youngest.

[wally wonder]

jack ketchum the girl next door, ed mcbain three blind mice, and thomas mcguane the cadence of grass. all used but in fair condition, maybe there's a booger on page three, or something, but if i read fast and the stories good, as i suspect each will be, i can ignore that. the same store had some hc sk. have them in worn-out pb. maybe i ought to go back. :)

[LadyHitchhiker]

I bought Mere Anarchy - a Star Trek book.

[tess4da]

'The Whole Truth', by David Baldacci. Pretty intense. Read it in two days.

[Speedygi81]

Off-Season by Jack Ketchum. This guy really is as grim as they come.

[OhmyGod!]

I got two books this week!

Stephen Kings danse macabre and 'the girl next door' by jack ketchum. Gonna read a lot this weekend!

[DelvianBlue]

I went on a minor spree. I got The Idiot by Dostoyevsky, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K Dick, and a book of short stories by Roahl Dahl.

[Patricia A]

If I told the truth Oprah Winfrey would be calling to ask if I'd like an intervention. Lets just say, a few. One that I got that I'm exceptionally proud of is a collection of short stories called "Pulp Fiction," it's an anthology of "hardboiled stories" edited by Peter Haining and it's got a short story by SK in it called "The Fifth Quarter." Can't wait to read it!

[Susanne]

I bought Duma Key and I´m gonna read it at Easter when I go to Vienna. There´s a looong bus ride and I need some distraction. :smile2:

[Q'smum]

I bought DT-VII and Lisey's Story for $3.99 each, new, hardback. I know... And I bought Abarat, book II (need book I),The Testament, and a 2-book series The Watchers and The Warriors - all hardbacks.

[meessiep]

I used to buy the Warren comics, Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella. Anyone remember those?
Fortunately, Dark Horse is publishing The Creepy and Eerie archives.
Those are my latest additions.

sk

[Sintify]

I bought The Jungle by Upton Sinclair today.

[wally wonder]

I got two books this week!

Stephen Kings danse macabre and 'the girl next door' by jack ketchum. Gonna read a lot this weekend!

picked that *ketchum's book* last week. great story. made me sick. almost sounds like he wrote the story based on something that happened in the midwest, which makes me sicker, thinkin' about it. gawd i can't believe some people.

picked up mccammon's gone south and ketchum's stranglehold, used again, trying to ward off the deep blue funk, comes on this time of year, listening to the radio and stuff.

[Haunted]

I bought Duma Key for the re-read social group we hope to form.:biggrin2:

[Boni]

Insomnia
Desperation
The Dead Zone
Different Seasons

and almost buying IT and Danse Macabre, with them I will be only 7 books away + the entire Dark Tower series, from completing my collection. But I musn't forget that the publisher of my country plans to release Roadwork next month, and Duma Key in October (yeah, sucks to have to wait a translation, I don't want even imagine when I will put my hands on a translated copy of Under the Dome...)

[Autumnlyn]

Edger Sawtell...I saw that Uncle Stevie's recommendation on the jacket

[Tooley]

I picked up Needful Things, along with All The King's Men and Roots (the last two were 3.99 each!). I'm still looking for some good SK hardbacks, but have yet to discover any at bargain prices.

[Speedygi81]

Robert Goddard's Days Without Number. I heard he's good so I got one just to try.

[~Ally~]

Last week i bought a copy of Night Shift and Dark Tower: The Wolves of the Calla, in a charity shop for £2.50. Yes i already have them but they looked so out of place and lost in the jumbled up mess of books that i just had to rescue them.:biggrin2:

Today i got a hardback copy of Hannibal Rising in the poundshop (crikey i sound very cheap here:blush:) so i'm hoping to start that soon.

[devilboy666]

just bought salems lot illustrated editon gunslinger born and the long road home the keepsake and the bone yard by tess gerritsen:smile2:

[Lee Y]

picked that *ketchum's book* last week. great story. made me sick. almost sounds like he wrote the story based on something that happened in the midwest, which makes me sicker, thinkin' about it. gawd i can't believe some people.

picked up mccammon's gone south and ketchum's stranglehold, used again, trying to ward off the deep blue funk, comes on this time of year, listening to the radio and stuff.

Bluey,

I read that "The Girl Next Door" was based on a true story. It is one creepy tale! Ketchum is one of my favorite's tho!!! :biggrin2:

Robert McCammon is another fav...Gone South is a good read. But IMHO, his two best are, "Boy's Life" & "Swan Song"....fantastic reads!!!

[FETiD]

Books 3-7 in the Dark Tower series. I had bought The Gunslinger a week or so prior and thought I should invest in the rest of the series, but the university's book center stocked every book in the series . . . except for The Drawing of the Three. I've been reading the book through another avenue and what makes this situation odder is that it seems to me so far that it could potentially be the best book in the series, especially if I go off the reviews it's gotten. Hopefully I can get a job this summer and order a copy off of Amazon or something.

[Lee Y]

"The Midnight Road" by, Tom Piccirilli. At our library in town, for .25 cents. :biggrin2:

[awb715]

Watchers By Dean Koontz

[ExcerptsFromATatteredMind]

The Talisman
Black House

I have been wanting to read these for years, especially after finishing the Dark Tower series. I just never got around to it until now.
I am 400 pages into The Talisman, and I am loving it. I know this book is not a tie in to The Dark Tower series like Black House is. But, there is so much Jake in Travelin' Jack, that I can't help reading it as a "further adventures of..."
As if Jack were Jake's "twinner".
Now before you lambaste me for insinuating that Mr. King doesn't have two distinct characters here, let me first say this. From "The Walkin' Dude", to John Coffey, Mr. King has every character in between. And perhaps my love of Jake has colored my perceptions (god pound me). But,viewing it this way does not diminish either character or the separate stories. For me, it makes it even more enjoyable. "Do ya ken it?"
Can't wait to see how it ends.

[Sawney Beane]

None,they are way too expensive¡¡

[crazycrashink]

I haven't read the DT yet, because I want to have time to read them all in a row. I'm planning on this summer. However, while at the grocery store buying stuff to dye eggs with I found a HC copy of the DT VII for 5 bucks so I had to buy it. I guess I will definitely have to get the others now since I found the last one HA!

[thymeoperator]

i just ordered 'the stand'! i'm a little nervous about it, as people seem to have such black or white / love or hate reviews on it, so i hope i'm in the 'love' category by the time i finish it!

[jenboxer77]

I just bought Four Past Midnight(HB 1.00), Delores Claiborne (HB 1.00), Different Seasons(PB .50), Stand (PB .50), The Regulators (HB 1.00), The Dead Zone (PB .25)

[AndyDufresne]

I'll receive The Shining and The Stand (english versions) tomorrow, and, with a bit of luck Pet Sematary and The Regulators. I haven't read the latter novels but I hope they're good. I'm looking forward to Pet Sematary, because I haven't read a single comment about that book here that was negative :).

[Gard-ole-Gard]

I bought Ghost Story by Peter Straub on paperback. A little confusing so far but I really like his narrative style. "The Girl Next Door" has been mentioned a couple of times here. I tried to read it but it really upset me and I ended up putting it down. I realize it's based on a true story but I don't feel I need to know the depths to which humans will lower themselves. I'm just a pansy I guess :sad:.

[tillyn]

I bought The Stand and Bachman book, the Stand was unabridged with pictures, my hard cover doesn't have pictures. My youngest is collecting SK of his own.

[marew1]

Candles Burning - Tabitha King
We're all in this Together- Owen King
Let the Righjt One In- John Ajvide Lindqvist & Ebba Seberberg

[Haunted]

I bought Blood and Ice by Masello (Borders had this in the Horror section). And from what I have read it is VERY PROMISING. I had borrowed it from the library but it is almost 500 pages plus I had borrowed two others at the same time. I could not bear to take it back unfinished so I bought it to take the pressure off. :oh:

[rjt65]

A tech book "Understanding Private-Key Infrastructure"--

yah lot less entertaining than my reread of JAS last week..sigh... Security Certificates and Ciphertext anyone? ;-0

[Queen Judia]

Well, my boyfriend just gave me The Dark Tower 6: Song of Susannah Hardbound :biggrin2: whilei bought a paperback of 'salem's lot for myself as a reward for a good semester. :grinning:

[Queen Judia]

[mojomofo]

I got (drum roll please)
a first edition Gunslinger from a used book store for (another drum roll) $1.00!!! Okay, I had trade in credit, but still. :biggrin2:

I also got Bram Stoker's Dracula.

[Soil of a Man's Heart]

No steven king books this week, though i bought the latest dexter by design - bad blood runs deep (halfway through it is very good) and too close to home

[the_last_gunslinger]

I just got Jack Ketchum's She Wakes for my birthday. That the Fourth, so it's not exactly this week, but close enough.

And yesterday, I found a bookstore, the first one I've been to in a long time (there aren't any around where I live). There, I purchased a hard cover Lisey's Story and I picked up an Encyclopedia on Witchcraft. I don't practice it or anything, but it makes for very entertaining reading.

[tammela]

I bought the first two books of the "Dark Tower" series and have finished them both.Will buy the next two later this week.

[BlackThorn]

Picked up a couple match books at a convenience store.

And I downloaded the instruction manuals to my truck and an old amp I have from '03.

Otherwise, there isn't even a bookstore in this town.

I read the paper every day though. Does that count for somethin'?

[Matthew.Degnan]

Got a copy of Dreamcatcher today, had it before, just got a new one lol

[devilboy666]

[JRLauer]

My most recent purchase is the hard cover version of The Stand comic books.

[Cody44]

I just bought Drood by Dan Simmons. I'll get around to it after I finish the Dark Tower books.

[Jax]

Just downloaded the first Harper Connley book by Charlaine Harris for my Kindle. I liked the Sookie book's so I figured I'd give this a try.

[Sms231]

I just picked up The Dead Zone hardcover at my College's annual book sale for 75 cents. Normally I'd just buy for my Kindle from Amazon.com, but The Dead Zone hasn't been released yet for the Kindle.

[davidbo32]

The world without us by Alan Weisman and Just before sunset. Bought them in a bookstore on Prince's Street, Edinburgh which I visted during my easter holiday in Scotland. Beautiful city! :)

[Watahoot]

Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Everything's Eventual by Stephen King

[skyrow]

This week I bought Rose Madder, Dolores Claiborne, Gunslinger Born Hardback collection, Salem's lot, Dreamcatcher, Misery, Carrie, The Tommyknockers, and the first 3 The Green Mile series and the first of the Stand Captain Trips. All of them for under $30:biggrin2:. I love rummaging flea markets, yard sales, etc.

[Aarny]

I bought a load of SK books this week along with "The Hobbit"

[londonpie]

c.j.box three weeks to say goodbye cant put it down going to be a long night for me to night.

[marew1]

I was putting my SK books in my mome library database and discovered some novels and a short story collection weren't there.:dunno: It is possible the books are still in a box as we moved to our present house a little over two years ago. The "missing" books are Salem's Lot, Carrie, Christine, Cujo, Cycle of the Werewolf, The Dead Zone, Firestarter and Skelton Crew. I bought Skeleton Crew, Salem's Lot and The Dead Zone at an Antique and Flea Market. The rest I ordered through Amazon. After I get the books, I'll probably find the missing ones. BTW, I bought two new books and the rest are used. :smile2:

[bopropadop]

Marvel's Treachery collection in hardcover.

[Goodlovin]

Ive been trying to read books from the Library a bit more to save a few dollars (I used to tell people I spend more money at the book store every month than your average drug addict does to get high).

I did personally buy the other day:

The judging Eye by R Scott Baker
No Angel by Jay Dobyns
A Course Called Ireland by Tom Coyne

Not doing so well with not buying books some months

[Cody44]

Went to my used bookstore and found:

Lost Boy, Lost Girl - Peter Straub
&
The Mask, Strangers, the Voice of the Night (3 book hardcover) - Dean Koontz.

I never pass up any Straub I haven't read, and Koontz is for when i want to read something easy and not hard over the course of a vacation or a weekend. :biggrin2:

[Jax]

The other night I downloaded the audio version of Bag of Bones which is read by King and awesome, and also downloaded Grave Surprise by Charlaine Harris for my Kindle.

[Sareena]

Always Looking Up - The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist by Michael J. Fox

[xville]

I just ordered a used Tommyknockers in hardback that it is smaller than a normal hardback.

And I should be getting Make Room Make Room in the mail this week.

[Draga]

Years ago I read The Stranger by A. Camus, but when I came to Spain I leaved my books in Chile. Some days ago I bought a new copy of this book, I think it's one of the very few that deserves a rereading. But I realized that the first time I read the book I was impressed by the behaviour of the main character, now I think it's normal and believe many people would do the same under those conditions! - Strange factor -. Or may be I'm losing my morality, who knows!

[devilboy666]

bought a paperback copy of everythings eventual and soultaker by bryan smith

[Haunted]

I bought Afraid by Jack Kilburn as it was recommended as truly horrific by a fellow board member.

[Lee Y]

[Sundrop]

I haven't bought anything this week. I have about 35 books waiting on my 'to read' shelf, though. I buy a lot of my books used, so I stock up when I find the ones that interest me. :)

[Spooky Chick]

I just bought about 20 SK books in a second hand book shop for £40! You should have seen the look on the shop owners face when we took them all off the shelf! There are too many to list them all here but they'll keep me busy for some time :biggrin2:

[wally wonder]

almost did the same thing, spooky! had a couple dollars in my pocket and went into a used bookstore. found a hc tommyknockers--my pb is pretty worn--and a pb by r. mccammon called speaks the nightbird. went to pay and i have this card, they stamp it when you make purchases and the card was all stamped out so i figured to redeem it. got the two books for nothing but a stamped out card and still have .75 credit! they had some other sk hc there, have them all in pb and it's not like the bookcase has any room.

[Jack Torrance]

I bought Duma Key for 50 cents at the library this week, but I have to get through Insomnia first.

[sheba41]

None....

[sam peebles]

Hardcover copies of Misery and Bag of Bones and Lord of the Flies in paperback. I think I'm going to start in on Misery and Lord of the Flies first, as they both look like really quick reads.

Thirteen Reasons Why- Jay Asher
The Perks of Being a Wallflower- Stephen Chbosky
Go Ask Alice- Anonymous

[Tooley]

Swan Song by Robert McCammon

[Jax]

Just downloaded Dead and Gone the latest in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Really looking forward to True Blood starting on June 14th! Woohoo!!

[karend3]

I bought the paperback of It mainly to let a friend read it and to have it. By the way he loved it, his favorite book so far.

[Cerralin]

Last weekend I was in Rochester (England) and on a table outside a book store were 4 SK hard cover books, Duma Key, Just after Sunset, Cell and Liseys Story, all for £4 each. Bargain I think to myself =)

When I get them home 3 are first editions!! Happy Carol =)

[aneaglesangel]

I just finished reading "On Writing" so I ordered "Brisingr," the last book in a series by Christopher Paolini. (I think I spelled his name right.) My son loved the first book especially when he read it but was disappointed by the movie. It did change quite a lot of the details of the story. I enjoy the occasional childrens' story and I think this Inheritance series ranks right up there with some of the best.

Right now I'm working on a true story about the paranormal, and later I would love to do some adult fiction. But I hope that along with that I can also do a few childrens' books, I really enjoy doing them! :love:

[Natjen26]

Danse macabre.. Only one book left for me to purchase to complete my collection (a little OCD) but I can't find it anywhere.

[Arr]

The Road by Cormac McCarthy - paperback for $0.50

East of Eden by John Steinbeck - paperback for $0.50

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King - hardcover for $1.00

I bought all of these at my local library's book store. The Road and Hearts in Atlantis were in excellent condition, but East of Eden was looking pretty rough. I had to smear rubber cement all over it because the outside cover was almost completely torn away from the binding.

[Bad Bear]

I've borrowed Lisey's Story from the library, and The Green Mile is on its way from Amazon.

[deltadog32]

Actually I am reading Generation Kill and I bought Angels and Demons and another book called Sole Survivor about a Navy Seal whose entire team was killed in Afghanistan and he crawled 7 miles and escaped.

[cfin5256]

5 SK novels: The Stand(uncut), It, and Dead Zone which I used to own and have read before; also purchased Cujo and Firestarter which I hadn't read(already finished Cujo and loved it, about to begin Firestarter).

[tillyn]

C. Harris, Ted Dekker, but all on my E-book.

[October Rain]

The Awakening by Kate Chopin. This is one of those books I have heard about for years, but never got around to reading. I saw it as the used bookstore and thought "why the heck not".


Oh and I also bought Birnbaums 2009 guide to Walt Disney World. Hey! I've got four kids who wanna go see the mouse.:laugh:

[bluesky]

I bought Duma Key for 50 cents at the library this week, but I have to get through Insomnia first.

That's cheap. I wish i could buy SK books at my local library too. The Duma Key novel (paperback copy) that i bought here in China cost RMB 68, approximately $10 US dollar. The cheapest novels in my local bookstore ( seeling imported books only) cost RMB 68 and some are even more expensive, ranging from RMB85 to over RMB100. Unfortunately i can't find used SK books here because it is rare and i don't think many people here read English novels. I bought " bag of bones" last week and thinking of buying more in the future. I also own "the stand"(the first SK book that i bought), Gerald's Game, The Talisman and Duma Key and bag of bones. Although i can borrow bag of bones at my library, i do feel like buying it. I know people here love it. Now i am still reading the stand. the superful is so terrible...

[jacobtlong]

I bought Cujo and Brian Keene's Dark Hallow the other day with some of my graduation money.

[Dana Jean]

Oh my, the last seven days? Are you ready?

[TowerGirl]

My boyfriend just ordered the complete series of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher for me. (I hope I like them...)

I also just ordered Duma Key at Amazon.com. I am so excited! I have been wanting to read this one for a while now. It should be here next week, and I can't wait.

I brought Snow Crash and I'm about half way through it, so far I'm loving it, so good.

[Speedygi81]

I swear to get more of these delightful paperbacks.

[cellfan1992]

[Watahoot]

I had some great finds this past weekend:

Skeleton Crew- HB 1st Trade Edition

The Stand: Complete and Uncut: HB, not 1st edition so it doesn't matter right? lol

All those books for about 20 dollars, I was very pleased!

[elrod]

[michal]

I don't buy books other than Stephen King, but this week i am lucky enough to have read three awesome books. "Callisto" by Torsten Krol (just finished -highly recommended), La Cucina, by Lily Prior (about cooking and love - sweet, fun and highly recommended) and The History of Love by Nicole Krauss (still reading but it feels very promising). That's it for now...

[GNTLGNT]

Do SK graphic novels(comics)count? Coz I got me a big old stack next to the "Big Daddy" chair to wade through...:smile2:

[Natjen26]

Great that this thread is coming alive again :)

I bought the sixth installment of the Eight season of Buffy the Vampire slayer: Retreat. Going to read it in a little bit.
And Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Daniken. My husband asked for this one, since he is a believer in ancient aliens.

[no bounce no play]

We went to Sams this weekend and I got Blockade Billy and a couple Dan Brown novels :smile2: We also got a gigantic box of cheddar goldfish crackers :smile2:

[GNTLGNT]

I still have "Blockade Billy" from Cemetary Dance(with card) to read, and my SK Book Club selection came yesterday-with, you guessed it "Blockade Billy", but this version has "Morality" with it, so guess it's the best of both woilds for da big bonehead-which be me...:laugh:

[Lina]

I have no will power at all...:oops:

[Billiards Girl]

It was a really good weekend at the local flea market.

IMO Third Degree by Greg Iles is an amazing book! Made me nervous and gave me chills! I can honestly say I didn't have any fingernails left when I was finished!

[Tery]

Liars For Jesus by Chris Rodda. It's a repudiation of the current campaign by the Religious Right to re-write history, particularly about the Founding Fathers.

Just received a copy of H P Lovecraft Tales, "The Dunwich Horror and Other Weird Tales" armed forces edition from 1945. This is a series that was distributed to enlisted men free of charge during WWII. Pretty cool.

I was looking for either some of the King books I don't yet have, or some horrors published by Leisure Books (Dorchester Publishing). I only found one Leisure horror, but I did find two Agatha Christie books, two old Del Rey sci-fi books from the '70s and a psychology textbook.

A Simple Plan by Scott Smith. I have to finish IT first.

[~Ally~]

None so far this week, but last week I picked up three Harry Potter books, as I plan on starting them all soon. I bought Joe Hills "Twentieth Century Ghosts" which I have already finished and is winging it's way halfway across the world as we speak. Also bought Stieg Larssons "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Girl who Played with Fire" since I have heard they are very good.
Will tell you in a couple of days whether the rumours are true. :wink2:
