I can't wait to hear what you think of 11/22/63. <br /><br />Natalie - I was surprised at how emotional I was when I finished. This was a great book for you to read! There are a lot of valid reasons for King to be so popular. I hope I can read a few more this year. We'll see!Jen | Book Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512363115012929445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-2034725503538614842012-02-02T14:33:21.606-06:002012-02-02T14:33:21.606-06:00I cried, CRIED at the end of this one.

I never thought I'd get so choked up from reading Stephen King's books, since I didn't associate him with anything other than horror, so this one was a perfect book for me to read as a new Stephen King fan.<br /><br />Thanks for joining The Project, can't wait to see the other books of King's that you read this year!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-81426024536223608042012-02-02T09:50:08.246-06:002012-02-02T09:50:08.246-06:00I really enjoy Stephen King books.

Feel free to stop back by on January 31. I'll be having a spoiler post/discussion that day.<br /><br />Giselle - This is a perfect Stephen King book to start with. I think you'll love it.<br /><br />Alice - I know what you mean! I practically passed out the night before reading it so late! :)<br /><br />Andrew - I was hooked from the start. I just pulled my copy off the shelf to see where page 50 would land me. I can say I was definitely in love and having goosebumps by page 78. If you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. Maybe you'll have more luck next time, though.<br /><br />Steve - I didn't enjoy that part of the book. I think it was a necessary evil to bring us up to 11/22/63, but that was my least favorite part. And I guess the past is obdurate. ;) I get in a reading funk every time I read something great. I think it helps to pick something short to try to get over the hurdle.Jen | Book Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512363115012929445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-45323979268874580972012-01-17T16:27:27.884-06:002012-01-17T16:27:27.884-06:00I just finished this book 20 min. ago and I also f...I just finished this book 20 min. ago and I also feel like I lost a friend.
