Everything's Eventual is a pretty good SS collection.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Go to a used bookstore and get some of the old stuff, cheap.
Yes. You need to read 'Salem's Lot, like, right now. And as I said a few months ago, IT held up surprisingly well from the last time I read it. (Except for that one plot point, but that was ludicrous the first time around, too.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, I've read both those books. I read 'Salem's Lot for my American Gothic class in college. I love It and have wanted to re-read it. I love The Stand and The Shining, and I've read Carrie and The Cycle of the Werewolf. And I really liked Dreamcatcher. And I love On Writing.

t,
I need to read Cloud Atlas too. We can form a book club!
I just finished Deadline - and the newsflesh trilogy. That was a pretty good read! I kind of want more. I wasn't wholly satisfied with the end, but oh well.

Have you read Countdown (a prequel novella about the events leading to the Rising) and San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats (a novella about the Rising at Comic-Con)?

I need to read Cloud Atlas too. We can form a book club!
OK! I have the sample on my iPad, but so far every time I've thought I'd start reading it, I've been too tired to think straight and just went to sleep...
We don't even have to discuss it, just motivate me to actually read it and then skip straight to the margaritas (my understanding of how book clubs work comes primarily from television).
The other book I was thinking about starting reading was Feed (Mira Grant) since it seems appropriate for Halloween, but hit the same falling asleep instead of reading obstacle.

It's not only appropriate for Halloween, but also it's really fun to follow Mark Reads Newsflesh. He just read a certain chapter in Feed, and Seanan is laughing at his pain.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
P-C,
I have not. I need to read. But I want the epilogue, not necessarily the prequels, if that makes sense.

Ah, well, that you're not going to get except in fanfic. Seanan has said that the Masons' story is over. Although she might follow some of the other characters, I don't know.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
hmm. okay. I don't find that particularly satisfying, but I'll take it.
