Definitely. He reminds me of another character from another story but I can't quite figure out who... Seeing as I am only half way through The Inferno and a few chapters into The Shining I have decided to move my Jane Austen challenge to February so that I can finish both of these before beginning such a big undertaking. I love Austen's work and want to give it the attention and focus it deserves. So, reading goals for January are: 1. Finish The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri 2. Finish The Shining by Stephen King 3. Read Bitten by Kelly Armstrong 4. Read Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

I'm going to try and get through chapter 5 of The Shining tonight, if not I will definately get through it and hopefully a few more chapters tomorrow.

That is awesome he is working on a sequel to The Shining! I would buy it Have you found any information on possible release dates or is it still up in the air?

Mini weenies, cheese and crackers, veggies and whatever else happens to fall into my grocery cart tonight before heading over to the party.

Have you ever mixed candy corn with peanuts? It tastes just like a Salted Nut Roll.

I love Guinea Pigs! I had one up until about a year and a half ago. Sweetest little guy ever Granted, but they feed them junk food instead and they get really fat. I wish I owned a small private island.

It is very good! Salty + Sweet = Mmm...

Somehow I ended up reading this wrong. I thought you put gravy ON your popcorn! Eww... that would be just plain wrong... Popcorn does sound really good now, though. Have you ever put M&M's in it?

Okay... hmm.... any cheezy group dance song you do like, or should we just put the entire group in?

*Sigh* You just don't know what your missing out on. I suppose you don't like the Macarena either?

Oh come on! Y'all can't hate on it, it's fun!

Hey now, it is played at every wedding, dance, and on every country music station in the state of South Dakota. That song is practically a hall of famer! Heck, it was played at my prom!

No! That song is a classic!

I think I very well may be! The book is great!

Speaking of Beyonce- can we add that Single Ladies song? Ugh, that's horrible.

I finished chapter three in The Shining today and am eagerly waiting to begin four. The torture Jack felt for what he had done to his son really stood out to me and made me connect with him as a character. I love that moment when you are reading and one of the characters touches you in a way that moves them from a complex figment of the author's imagination and transforms them into a real person who you can relate to or sympathize with. So far, definately enjoying the book more than I did the movie.

I'm about to begin chapter 4 of The Shining and the story is really picking up. I'm addicted! I do have to say that I am officially liking the book more than the movie at this point.
