This isn't right, books should be widely available to all. Let me know a mailing address and I will send you second hand books...no one should be without good books. Books are expensive !!

My wife also acts in a similar way. She gets excited about a book and reads a lot of pages in a short time. The last pages, however, usually take her three times more to finish than the pages she has read in the first stage. I, on the other hand, usually can't stop reading anything I find interesting until I'm done. I'm often finish a book in the same day I started reading it, even if I have to spend part of the night awake; unless, of course, it's a really big book, like The Wheel of Time's installments. I finished reading King's Pet Sematary a few days ago, but I must confess I didn't like it that much. I found the ending somewhat predictable, and so it lost some of its impact to me. But the book is still a good scare in some parts. :-O Anyway, this is only the third book by Stephen King that I read, and I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. I have heard of Dean Koontz, but I have never found one of his book here in Brazil. Books here are extremely expensive. Also, some foreign writers never get published. But I will try to find one of his books to take a look. I know how it is. :-) Sometimes I act just like you. My wife also acts in a similar way.

I go through phases when it comes to reading. I really get into it and can't put the book down. Then I'll go 3 weeks without reading a page. It's quite odd. Anyhoo, King's Pet Semetary is extremely good. My favorite King book has to be 'IT' although 'Desperation' was good also. One author that I recommend is Dean Koontz. Kind of a 'X-Files' meets Stephen King. I would love to take some time and just read. I go through phases when it comes to reading. I really get into it and can’t put the book down.
