What I'm reading:
Where do you get recommendations for new books to read?
Another awesome read by Stephen King.
Books: Show us the longest book you've ever read. (All the way through.)
I'm not really a celebrity buff, and I don't swoon over celebrities. But this is just odd. How come the VH1 show Celebrity Paranormal Project filmed an episode in Bangor, Maine, and no one knew about it? I just did a Google search and searched the local newspaper online, and there's no mention of it anywhere.
Here's the blurb in the TV listings: Celebrity Paranormal Project Andrew Firestone, Coolio, David Carradine, Mia St. John and Bridget Marquardt probe mill accident hauntings in Bangor, Maine.
Since they're talking about a mill, I'm assuming it's the one made famous in the movie The Mangler taken from the Stephen King book.
If they actually weren't spotted, kudos to them for being so incognito about the whole thing.
Books, movies, music; what's in your top 5 right now?
I'm reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke right now. The only reason I bought it was it looked interesting and it was the thickest book in the grocery store :P Can't really understand why it won so many awards though. Normally I go through a really good book in a weekend. This one has dragged on for over a month. Not very exciting but I'll finish it anyway.
Just finished watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Cute story, but it made me cry.
Stephen King books and movies will always be in my top 5 (and not just because I live a few miles from him either). He's a genius. It's kind of annoying that everyone who comes to visit wants to take pictures of his house and, worse, them standing in front of his gate. Let the poor guy have his privacy people. It's embarrassing. No wonder he bought another house out of state.
I don't have any top 5 music. Not enough time to listen to it other than in the car, and I'm too busy talking to my kids to pay much attention.
