Ahhh, I did search for it on Fictionwise twice before today, and now I finally came up with a link:

http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook34704.htm

Too bad, I have to stick to eReader now for reading this one.

cbarnett · 11-09-2005, 06:29 PM

Ouch, not to worry.

On another note, I just checked out the Amazon top 10 list, and noticed Robert Jordan's released book 11 of the Wheel of Time series. Another book in the queue (though this one's not as urgent as some others

)

I read the wheel of time twice. The first time to book seven, the latter time to book nine. I just becomes a rather huge bookseries and I am losing overview.

If I started at book eleven I'd need half the book just to decide who was doing what where.

cbarnett · 11-10-2005, 02:43 AM

I've read the series twice as well (well, up to book 9 anyways). As you said, I had to do it to know where I was when I read book 10. That was only earlier this year though, so I'm ready to go with this one. Now if only JR would release them in ebook format... <sigh>

Jaapjan · 11-10-2005, 04:47 AM

Oh, I thought I knew someone who had then in ebook format. Probably not bought then.

Yep, I think too that it's legitimate. In France for now I think it's legal (peharps not fot a long time...).

But you have to register, download the software and buy a drm book. That's against my decision to not support anymore this formats.

Is anybody reading the new Stephen King, "Cell"?

--ryan

cbarnett · 02-12-2006, 10:14 PM

I haven't tried it, but would be interested in your opinion once you're done with it. I find Mr Kings books _much_ better than the movies made of them

morituri · 02-13-2006, 01:02 AM

Stephen King's Cell is on my list, although the quality of his work has gone down lately. I'm currently reading this book :

The Bear Trap

It's about Pakistan's role in the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

joe90 · 03-08-2006, 05:44 AM

Kinda old, this is the second time I read it, but how about Stephen King's - It ? What a book! Fantastic!

King explores your inner childhood fears in a compelling storyline that will travel you many years ago. With a hint of euphoria in the end, you realize that your childhood was indeed good and what if this would happen to you... Would the reader be the same person if he met It ?

wonderful
imo possibly his best book

cbarnett · 03-09-2006, 07:21 PM

And much better than the film of the book! (as usual

)

Gatton · 03-14-2006, 08:45 AM

Hey Joe* thanks for reminding me of this book. I was on a bit of a King kick as a teenager but that one was definitely over my head. Since I was still a kid I wasn't quite in tune with all of the childhood nostalgia and symbolism. I have a feeling it will make a lot more sense to me now. Just finished the Da Vinci Code (yea I'm probably one of the last ones to get to it) and maybe IT will be next. If not IT maybe something else by King.

*Now I have the song in my head. Not Hendrix though but Roy Buchanan's live cover. Smoking version.

Kings's new book "Cell" is fantastic and I'm not a big Stephen King fan.
