Next Stephen king's - It

Micro was pretty good. It definitely had the "Honey I shrunk the kids" feel to it at certain points. I read it right after reading The Martian, so it had a lot to live up to since it was the next pickup after a fantastic book.

When I heard the IT movie is coming out, I thought of reading the book first. Cause in the movie they cant do justice with all the characters.
That's why I read The Dark Tower books first before I watched the movie, And guess what, my favorite character was not in the movie at all. And I didn't like the movie either.

So Eddie is your favorite character in The Dark Tower? What a terrible movie. Such a $hit movie. Soooo bad.

I think IT was actually a good movie.

Yes Eddie. I was upset when I came to know his character is not in the movie.
My favorite is Stephen King's - Tommyknockers. I read it long ago , but man, when I was reading it, could hardly keep the book down.

I finished all 7 Harry Potter books last week. Definitely good read. Looking for the next book now.

Just finished reading IT. Good read for sure.
Now all ready to watch the movie.

My next book suggested by a friend - 1984 by George orwell.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll put it on my list. I read Black Hawk down and then a second time years later. I like his style of non-fiction writing.

I just read “into the Wild” by Jon krakour. Awesome book, I also liked his book “where men win glory” about pat tillman, but read that years ago. What an amazingly duty bound man.

I just finished re-reading “The Godfather “ by Mario Puzo. I have a first edition copy I’ve read like 5 times, so good. I can’t get enough of Don Corleone. “Luca brazi sleeps with fishes”

Just finished "Call of the American Wild: A Tenderfoot's Escape to Alaska".

Hated it. Thought it would be like "Into the Wild" (one of my favorites), but it was just a Scottish dude who made an impulsive decision to leave his family for a few months to try to "wing it" in Alaska. The locals gave him everything he needed to survive after he basically just shows up with a sleeping bag. He literally did zero research on survival or backwoods techniques and had to be taught everything there. I was rooting for him to die through the whole book (but obviously knew he wouldn't).

Next will be "The Final Frontiersman."
