Peach--The Talisman is one of my favorite books. It is kind of hard to get into at first, but keep at it. I promise you won't be sorry.
I just picked up The Black House today and I am looking forward to reading it.
I haven't read The Cell yet, but my wife did and she loved it, except for the end she said.
ya just can't go wrong with the koran.
Boy these islamo-quips never get old. Keep 'em coming Papa, you are so orignal.
It was a NYT bestseller papa.
My book suggestions hmm.....
Peyton Place
I Know this Much is True
Wicked
The Good Earth
She's Come Undone
I couldn't get through The Talisman either but I should read it because I loved Eyes of the Dragon and The Dark Tower series.
I think The Shining is Stephen King's scariest book but I remember Pet Semetary (not a misspelling) scared the hell out of me when I read it. Also Desperation.
Another really scary Japanese movie is Kairo, which was remade into a really terrible American movie called Pulse.
Oh and for non-fiction:
Lobster Boy
Call Me Crazy
Hegemony or Survival
and my favorite
In Search of the Birth of Jesus: The Real Journey of the Magi
Usually though if you see me anything non-fiction, it's a cookbook. I have a massive collection.
Joey--Yes, try to read The Talisman again. Once Jack gets to the "Territories," it starts to pick up and just speeds on by.
