I have now read book 7 and 8 on the list. They are: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and The Shining by Stephen King. I can’t really say I took to either of them. The Agatha Christie book was just not for me, and the end of it was so lame, and far-fetched I couldn’t believe anyone actually goes out of their way to read her books. At least I can say I have read it and add it to my list.
The Shining, which I was thoroughly expecting to be engrossed in really did not grab my attention. It was a great book. Probably Stephen Kings best, certainly a melding of what he does best – horror and psychological thriller. Considering that I once was a die-hard King fan I was very surprised not be a big fan of this one. I just wasn’t and I was amazed at how dated it was. I know all writers are of their time and have to use their current time and place as a reference point but this book just felt past its prime.
I do remember that I loved the movie, I may have to watch it again.
I am about to start reading Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. This one I have read before and it is a chilling account of a true story. I think this one will definitely be worth rereading.
Both books were borrowed from the library.
