The Shining and Friends

So here’s my current reading list, the goal is to finish all three of these before the semester is over. This may be impossible with finals and all the assignments that are crammed at the end of the year, but I am going to try my very best. So here are the books, still working on The Shining, Intensity by Dean Kootz, and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I am reading The Shining because I started it, and I am about three quarters of the way through and I really want to finish it. Everyone left me to go home for Easter this weekend and I’m pretty sick so there may be a good possibility that I will finish The Shining this weekend. I am reading Intensity because it is a borrowed book and I have to give it back at the end of the semester, so that is kind of self-explanatory. Lastly I started The book Thief a few years ago and it was really good but for some reason I put it down and forgot about it, it is actually a really good book because the narrator is Death. So in conclusion, those are the books I am reading and I have heard from very reliable sources that they are all excellent, so I would give them a try if you are looking for something to read.

  1. The Shining is definitely one of King's best. It sounds like you're into the horror genre. I'd recommend Firestarter by king as well. The Book Thief is also as very good novel. The way it is told from Death's point of view is a great storytelling device.
