About my libraryMy library is based on horror/suspense novels and short story collections. These books tend to give me a high return on the reading pleasure scale. Noir and hardboiled crime fiction also thrills me, and I enjoy a good post apocalyptic novel as well.
I'm always prepared to broaden my literary horizons. Guess this is the right place to be to do that!

I did say 'yes', we've been together for over 8 years, we own a house together. It was just a matter of timing. I wanted to be done with school, I graduate in May and we get married in June.
I'm in the middle of the second story in Just After Sunset, it's a little lenghty for a 'short story' but I really like it.

I enjoyed Night Shift as well because to me it was early enough to really capture how King wrote with a 'no holds bar' approach. To me it's his better collection of stories, I couldn't stand Four Past Midnight.
Just started the new one, I'm only one story in. I had quite the surprise the other night when my b/f asked me to marry him, so I've been looking at Bridal Mags instead of reading faithfully...I know its horrible.
So what's next for you in the SK library?

I hope you enjoy Island. I actually wrote a review for that one. Richard Laymon is an author that I enjoy quite a bit, yet it would be tough to recommend him to anyone that isn't a horror fan His books can be real thrill machines, yet I always get the feeling that he is one step away from being a hack.
As to your profile, please borrow away. You might want to check out the group GreyHead’s frequently answered questions. He has threads that show how to do all sorts of little tweaks to your profile. That's where I learned how to display covers.

I keep forgetting your not from the same place I am (ego-centric America). That's why I found it interesting where you bought books from. I mostly buy mine on line at abebooks.com, I don't know if they deliever to you or not.
Did you read Duma Key? I see you have it rated. I'm patiently waiting for my copy of Just After Sunset. It was released on Tuesday and here it is Thursday and I still don't have it. I'll have to drop whatever I'm reading at the time to start SK newest.
