glad the associate was pretty good afterall - even with the open ending .. =) .. the shinning 'is a book for you in many ways' ? what does that mean? are you talking in terms of structure or content/subject? oh jim, you are such a sweetheart! thanks for the shoutout! new vids? well, anything for you handsome! .. ;D .. i thought irene's downtown video was so funny! she's such an entertainer! .. =D .. more guitar vids? yay! i'm so looking forward to them jim!! .. =D .. hugs, katie
@oopspaw ..."The Shining" appeal for me - content: an ordinary, struggling family, generally in their domain (ie not on a deserted island) yet in growing extraordinary circumstances, in present times, grabs me. After slogging through 200 sloooww pages of the 440 pg novel...(but I have to say S King seems to adore the details of his 3characters & interrelations, which is endearing), a scary part happened that gave me goosebumps rolling from my neck, forearms to calves!..fun. Irene rocked it! lol
@CombatOasis ... i read the write-up on the book at the link you sent me and as soon as i knew it was, in part, about a possessed house, i knew it was off limits for me no matter how compeling the 'family' is! i'm definitely drawn to supernatural elements in stories but not when they tend towards horror. totally freaks me out! LOL .. ;D .. i'd have more than goosebumps up and down my spine too .. =S .. i'd have nightares for weeks on end .. =0 .. ~eeks~ .. i'm glad you are enjoying it tho! .. ;D
I would recommend King's The Talisman and Salem's Lot. Salem's Lot makes this vampire craze that's going on look like a disney movie. SCAR-R-R-RY stuff!
@RickOnEarth `twas J Taylor's ♪Shower the People♪ got me thinkin, "who does that?"...for some reason, driving, I filtered thru youtube people & I thought: RickonEarth does that! ..Do you know that song? Glad you slogged through my droning to my shout out to you :) Talisman sounds especially scary!! ..Rick,my only hesitation is that..."The Shining" is incredibly so slow & I'll address it n my upcoming review. But 200 pgs in, I finally hit a scary scene which gave me chilling goosebumps...fun :)
Hi ya Jim Not sure this is my kind of book. I am glad you liked it . You are getting good at this book review stuff =)
OK now the Shining!!! you know I saw the movie but never read the book.
Love Katie's fruit videos too ..I tried the Ugli fruit & it is good & very juicy Yumm
Ha ha ha ha "Down Town" Tooo funny. Let me tell you after singing it for the video so many time I had it in my head for a couple days. Oh shit now it is back LOL LOL @ 7:46 =O
@tweetnes ...Irene, you are a born entertainer – that “Downtown” was a buncha fun. Especially when you got into it at the end. Yeah, “The Associate” might not be for everyone, “The Shining” is pretty fun for me…but it’s starting to get more creepy than I remembered as I read on through it. Thanks for the sweet comments, young lady!! Hugs, Jim
@ValkyrieVegan2 ...Lovely Mary, sweet to get your thoughts. Yeah “The Associate” was fun & smart. Ok, the "...bedroom looks like George Washington Bridge at rush hour” made me blast out laughing…you must moonlight as a professional writer of comedy. But yes, I certainly know that your he♥rt belongs to me, because when I embrace you & press our sternums together - it's like our hearts play a fast game of pong :)
I am reading 61 Hours by Lee Child really enjoying it. I am also found Robert B. Parker whom I love his writing. Perhaps because it's simple enough plots/writing for me to understand and keep up with. OK smartest tighest yea my little mind might not like to read lol. I mostly read novels as going to sleep so don't want to tax my brain lol. This girl loves a crockpot lol. Hubs says I am crockpot queen. You seen Mary wow. Sophia is indeed a beauty ;). Softly hugs.
@cozzyk ...Kim! Thanks for the author tips. I read about “61 Hours” on amazon.com, & it sounds like a great adventure after that crash. Maybe I’ll have to check it out. Oh, you would probably read “The Associate” faster than I did! I need to use a crockpot more -Bob's awesome. I couldn’t get that visual out of my head w/ Sophia on your laptop - it was so funny; she was there probably because she wanted attention plus it was warm! …she’s just got you ♥ wrapped around her little claw, huh – lol
@CombatOasis I d send you my 61 hours but I did a number on this paperback as I do most mine lol. My boss gives them to me he is a speed reader and don't crack the cover etc. Like brand new when I get them. But reading in bed I crack em love live em turn the corner down when tired. Now I wouldn't do that to hard cover or reference type books but do for this type reading. Although I could send you some that don't appeal to me. Not into intrigue espionage spy things much (sometimes).
@depfox ...Huge Stephen King fan, huh… I’m guessing you liked “The Shining”…? “Dreamcatcher” could have been better (cut in half), imo. The apocalyptic “The Stand”…ya know, I liked the TV series of that a lot, so maybe I’ll give the novel a go sometime if it’s your favorite :)
I'm at the Yale Law School quite often, I wonder if I know this guy! :) The Shining! I have to say I'm not a big fan of Steven King. Hey brother, thanks for the shout out! I've made so many thing in the pot. lentil soup, pot roast, general tso tofu, lots of stuff. I don't want to gossip but both Mary's and Rick's bedrooms are very busy places. They're both whores.
@Fightdog ...Sounds like Mary and Rick are keeping the willy wonka bedsprings bouncing - lol. Stephen King can be way overdetailed and slow a plot -ie “Dreamcatcher” which I read years ago. “The Shining” is super detaile, but I happen to like the characters a lot & the hotel set up. That’s awesome you’re rockin that pot - great pot roast is like candy to me - I need to get back into crockpottin. But I’ll never be the cuisine artist that you are, stud Bob :)
