Kate, I loved Joyland! I just got a notification that King has a new book coming out, and it looks like it could be similar to Joyland.

Deb, I'm just glad to hear that I'm not the only one who wasn't a huge fan of 11/22/63 since it's a favorite of so many. Overall, I probably enjoy his older stuff more, but there have been some recent books by him that I have liked. I do think I tend to find more annoyances in his more recent writing - or maybe I find more annoyances with everything I read as I get older.

Since then I've read some, enjoyed some and tolerated the others. Not a fan of the horrifying stuff, I like the more subtle aspects of his best work. Not a huge fan of 11/22/63. If you haven't read it yet, try Ken Grimwood's Replay. He relives his life to entertaining and thought provoking effect.

I just finished Four Winds by Kristin Hannah and The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis. I needed something a little lighter (especially after Four Winds) so currently reading Get Lucky by Katherine Center which I’m enjoying.
No Stephen King for me. (I’m a big chicken ). I had thought about reading 11/22/63 but the length of it just keeps me from reading it. |

Anna, I haven't tried Ken Grimwood; will look into him.
Cher, many of King's books are more dramatic than scary. ETA: Since we have been talking along those lines, one book about time travel that I read years ago (probably high school) and loved at the time was Robert Heinlein's The Door Into Summer. I've thought about re-reading but have never gotten around to it.
