So, now I am done with 'Salem's Lot, but don't really have anything more to say about it. It was fabulous, and I loved it, but I think I've said all that I need to. This weekend, I should have time to watch both movies, and then I will make one last post on the subject. At the same time, I have not started reading The Shining yet, simply for the reason that I don't own it, and I should be borrowing it from my friend tonight. So.....I am in "that in between place". But I guess that's appropriate, since most of SK's work lies in "that in between place" as well.
It's funny, I know I'm only just starting on the 3rd book, but already I'm going into withdrawal, not having a book to sink into this week. Instead, I've been passing the time by catching up on another one of SK's favorite things, the Saw movie series. I was just reading somewhere about how much he loves these movies, and I am right there with him. I have loved them ever since they started coming out six years ago, and still love them just as much. This weekend, I will be all refreshed on Parts 1-5, and will be ready to go see Part 6 in the theater.
Lastly, I just found out that SK is going to be in town on Nov. 13th for a book signing of his newest novel, Under the Dome. I was so ready to go meet him, but alas, I will be on stage performing that night.
Sorry, Mr. King, I will have to catch you the next time around.

Well it is nice to know that my reading style has returned....slow as hell. I finally finished 'Salem's Lot. I made an attempt years ago to read this book and totally lost interest about 100 pages away from the end. This time I finished! It was not bad, but not great either. I feel it cant make up it's mind. Is it a haunted house story or a vampire story? The 2 stories dont seem to have anything to do with each other and so I think the point gets a little muddled. I see know why I lost interest the first time. All in all I did enjoy it but it could have been tighter. Then one thing I will take away is that "Loretta Starcher wears falsies." =)
