Reading List Update

So, I traded off "Catch-22" for "11/22/63" by Stephen King - more interesting, and honestly more of a challenge in terms of being a much longer book. No regrets, as his 'revisionist history' about a time travelling English teacher who goes back in time to save President John F. Kennedy from being shot was absolutely phenomenal. A heavy, 800+ page book was a page-turner, much like King's "Under the Dome", and I quite enjoyed the work.

I won't ruin one of this past year's best sellers for anyone who might yet intend to read it, but it has a bit of everything from history to sci-fi to romance to action. None of it is too cumbersome that you can't enjoy the other elements, and it's truly a book where I feel there's 'something for everyone'. I would highly recommend it as a great read - although if you're looking to travel around with it I suggest downloading an eReader version of it as opposed to carrying around the brick of a book that it comes in. I own a Kobo (Indigo-Chapters eReader) and had quite a bit of fun with this being the meatiest item to date I've read on it. Good stuff on King's part - a master who does not get nearly enough credit from critical circles for the work he does.
