While the one I mentioned is simply outstanding, the Bachman Books (written under that pseudonym) are a group of really cool short stories. He won't authorize a reprint in the US because it includes "Rage" that detailed a HS shooting before it actually happened. Google it.
You won't regret reading "11/22/63." It is great. Went on a small (heh) run today and was tempted to finish listening to my second audiobook ever. NY Times had it as top five fiction books of the year and a movie is now in the works.

Love Stephen King. Rose Madder was great and a short story The Road Virus Heads North was too. He has so many good ones can't mention all.

HA! No, I am no "supermarathoner." I just looked, the unabridged version is easily 30+ hours. I am just finishing it up with these last distance runs before a full marathon. Don't know what my time will be after running 26.2 miles but I might just have time to listen to the whole thing over again!
Never really thought about listening to audiobooks either until another distance runner kept hammering how "Into Thin Air" was so good. Indeed, it was as is this one by King.

What the heck have you been brooding over, man? I remember when you posted all those concerts you had attended I made a comment of praise for your diversity of tastes, not a criticism in the least.
You certainly got my comment about Priest (or lack thereof) under your nails, didn't you? Let it go. Breathe. Take up yoga.
Anyhoo, back to the topic. Listening to right now? Nothing at the moment but I just finished a run to the audiobook "10/22/63" by Stephen King. Fantastic novel and a great reader.

Then a certain someone had to make a comment to the effect, "Gee, look at me and all the different music I listen to".
Not an exact quote but it was basically ridiculing me for it. I've seen the same idiot do it here multiple times. I wonder
if he even pays attention to what he says sometimes.
