THE BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY by Louise Penny. Only about 50 pages into it but my immediate reaction is good story by a good writer. High hopes for this one.

Just finished Dan Simmons's The Terror. A huge, huge book, and it is true in some parts Simmons seems like he's trying to move his story forward by sheer willpower. But I think the Cthulhu-style ice beast repays the reader's patience.

What'd you think of this? Have been putting off reading it since it came out since it would take me a good month to get through.

I read Summer of Night and wasn't too impressed. Have you read that? I'm wondering how it compares.


I'm currently reading All Hallows Eve by Richard Laymon.

I haven't. Probably won't return to Simmons for awhile, having slogged through 700+ pages in the Terror!

Have heard mixed reviews on this one.

Maybe I'll check it out. I like long books every once in awhile

My brother said it was a good read but had a bad ending. I love Laymon though and its short so I'm giving it a try
