Sometimes I like to read books and I'm going to sum up my thoughts about them in this blog. So I will try to regularly update this.

I never really read up until I became 20(this year) so I bought my first real book. It was The Shining by Stephen King. And from so on I began exploring the big reading adventure.

Have read
-The Shining by Stephen King
I saw the movie years before reading this and thought it was brilliant, but the novel delves deeper into the father/son relationship, alcoholism and cabin fever. Oh, and there's also a haunted hotel and some weird metaphor for reincarnation.

-Misery by Stephen King
Every writers nightmare, I liked everything about except it's conclusion. Went a bit too far with it.

-Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King
Don't fuck with this woman holy shit.

-Christine by Stephen King

Honestly though, I really love how losely written this is from the perspective of Arnie Cunningham's friend and how love pretty much tears up a friendship.

-Pet Semetary by Stephen King
The thing with King novels are that they're genuinely interesting but once you start to think about the plot and the stuff that goes on you find them to be so ridiculous it's not even funny. Though it was a fun read, it was pretty bad.

-Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King
Well if this is King's masterpiece saga, I can't take this first book all that serious because Roland is fucking some kind of Wind Oracle/Goddess. Also I read this while constantly playing music by Ennio Morricone.

-Dark Tower II: The Drawing of Three by Stephen King
Far far better than the first book. Roland travels to our dimension in 2 different time periods; the 60's and the 80's. A male junkie and a black schizo woman become his companions in his quest for the Dark Tower.

Dark Tower III The Waste Land by Stephen King
Cyborg bear, talking trains and a world that gets explored. The ending might be a huge kick in the nuts, but this is so far my favourite part in the Dark Tower saga.

-The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge


-Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Fucking boring actually. I don't care why the fuck you are so interested in a tree being set on fire by lighting, Victor von Frankenstein. And I don't care how your college life was, just make that fucking monster already JESUS FUCKING CHRIST MAN.

-Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Full with pointless objectivism. Go play Bioshock, it's better and highly enjoyable.

-Dracula by Bram Stoker

It's kind of hard getting into it because of the old English. I like the interaction between Jonathan and Count Dracula in the beginning. The rest is okay, albeit somewhat boring.

-The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

It was surprisingly good, because the pacing was fast and the story didn't drag on.
