As with many of my hobbies, I've let pleasure reading really slide in the last few years. I've decided to allow myself to get back into it and have hit a few used book stores and Amazon the last few weeks and have gathered a few books to keep me busy reading this summer. The Stephen King books are part of my goal to catch up on all his works that I've missed.
Thirteen Books I Bought to Read This Summer
- Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, author of The DaVinci Code. I really enjoyed that book and am looking forward to reading another of his works.
- Prentice Alvin by Orson Scott Card. I started reading this science fiction series about Colonial America that believes and uses folk magic back in college. I'm excited to get back into it since he's written several more books in the series.
- Alvin Journeyman by Orson Scott Card.
- The Drawing of the Three (The Dark Tower II) by Stephen King. I've only read the first book in the series. I put off reading the rest until he finished writing them, but the series drug on for over 20 years. He's done now, so time to read them.
- The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower III) by Stephen King.
- Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower IV) by Stephen King.
- Four Past Midnight by Stephen King. A short story collection.
- Nightmares & Dreamscapes by Stephen King. More short stories.
- Needful Things by Stephen King. I used to have this and somebody stole it. I don't remember the story, so I'm reading it as new.
- The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King.
- The Regulators by Richard Bachman (OK, really Stephen King's Pseudonym). It has a companion book called Desperation that I read a while back.
- Cell by Stephen King. Told you I had a bunch to read. There's still a handful to get yet — eight, I think.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling. The seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series. OK, it isn't used and I don't have it in my possession yet, but it will be in a little over five weeks! Since I've already ordered it, we'll go ahead and add it to the list.
