I'm dying to pick up a copy! <br /><br />Sarah - I have a feeling the old Don is going to be a tough one. <br /><br />Care - The author was so fascinating! I'm about 30% of the way in and it's good so far! <br /><br />Kristi - Ok, so for Don Q I'm thinking maybe August? We'll have to discuss a time that works for you, because I agree that it would be so helpful to have someone to read it with. I'm 50% into Dome and it really hooks you!

I would love to read it about the same time so I have someone to talk to about it.<br /><br />Interesting about the TV show of About a Boy. I loved the movie, but haven't read the book, despite having a copy on my shelf.<br /><br />Under the Dome is so good. I think the writing is a little tighter than some of his other long books. I'm finding myself fully engaged where other books there were parts that dragged.

It isn't a very long book, sadly, and it will be over far too soon, especially given how long we've waited for a new Gaiman novel. I hope a new short story collection will soon follow. Carl V.

The TV show stars Minnie Driver and should be out this fall. <br /><br />Jennifer - Ha, that's why I waited to start it. I had a feeling it would be hard to put down. I started Friday and I'm at 47% on my kindle now. <br /><br />Sandy - I'm really excited about re-reading GWTW. I haven't read it in 10 years and I think it will be intersting to see how it is different this time around. <br /><br />wordhits - I guess so! I kinda love having big fat books to sink into sometimes. <br /><br />Loni - I know! I looked up the cast on imdb the other day and couldn't find some of my favorite characters, so I'm nervous they were cut from the cast. <br /><br />Nikki - I'm so jealous! I need to get it.
