Books I want to read this summer.
I'll never forget last year, All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, and Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. Wonderful, wonderful reads.
Finished Lonesome Dove a few months back, and reading is just not been the same.
I read this 2 years ago in July. And to this day, Misery is my favorite Stephen King book of all time.
It amazes me how much Steinbeck packed within just 100 pages. So much emotion, so much depth, such rich characters.
And I think books like Lonesome Dove and All the Pretty Horses, Name of the Wind, have helped me appreciate dialogue. The simplicity of two characters, maybe three characters, in a room, talking.
