I ****ing loved this book, but god the main character was a prick.

Was that your first Bukowski book? Henry Chinaski is pretty much always a prick.

Anyways I plowed through this last night.

My first Stephen King read since sometime in high school (maybe as far back as Freshmen year). It was an enjoyable little piece of fiction that was tense and the protagonist was very vulnerable, at least when compared to modern day horror protagonists. The ending was definitely more uplifting then in the movie adaptation, which just shows how fucking depressing the movies ending was.

I loved the way that the movie ended. I'm sick off happily ever after endings and prefer tragedy/tragic endings

I liked the movie ending of The Mist better also, but not because it was more tragic. I just thought it was more interesting and climactic. The way King should have written the end of the book.

I'm reading three atm.
Picture of Dorian Gray-Oscar Wilde
Ulysses-James Joyce (for the third time)
Endgame-Samuel Beckett
Seems I'm on an Irish author kick.

The Plague by Albert Camus.

I just finished reading The Fall by Camus last night and started this one immediately after. I'm hoping to have it finished by Wednesday so I can re-read The Stranger for the umpteenth time. I'm having an experiment, how depressed can you get if you read nothing but Camus for an entire week. If I mysteriously stop posting by the 29th I guess we'll have our answer
