Cath Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hey everyone I’m Cath, and I’ve read since I was able to read, basically. I also write myself as well, predominantly poems and short stories. I think that was my introduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hello Cath, do you have any favourite authors/books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 @Madeleine I'm obsessed with George R.R. Martin and the song of ice and fire, but I also really like Jojo Moyes and every single one of her books almost equally. Recently I kind of discovered Stephen King, though I never thought I'd like this genre, but it seems like I get a little addicted to his books as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn't think I'd like Stephen King, until I read The Green Mile and loved it, but I've ended up never finishing a couple of others I've tried.

lunababymoonchild Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hello Cath and welcome to the board. Stephen King is a complicated author. Nowadays he doesn't just write horror he also writes science fiction and American hard boiled fiction. So it depends on the book. The early fiction was all horror, the more recent can be anything. I love everthing he writes but must be careful with the horror - apparently it affects my behaviour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 20 minutes ago, Hayley said: Which of his books have you liked? Hi! I've read The Long Walk, which I liked really much, but I loved The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon even more. Currently I read Carrie, after a little obsession with the musical, and think I probably like this the most so far. @lunababymoonchild Hey I had some concerns about the horror as well, but I think if I'd like any horror book some day, it would be one of his. So I'm a bit excited about the many books of his that I'm waiting to read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi Cath, I enjoyed Song of Ice and Fire too, apart from the 5th book, which could have been a lot shorter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never even heard of that one before, adding it to my ‘to-read’ list now!

No, my brother suggested I stop reading as he said it was affecting my behaviour. He didn't say how. At the time my brother was buying the new King novel for me for my Christmas every year. Stephen King was the only author my mother wouldn't read so I could put the book down in the living room and she wouldn't steal it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
