"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Dr. Sleep?
Better than "The Shining"? It seems to be like a version lite similar to The Stand.
Also, AA, did you finally get around to reading Ready Player One?
Nope, on a hiatus from reading, kids and their activities. I did not know kindergarteners can read this well. She read a few Disney books last night. I don't know if the wife posts stuff on Facebook on my behalf but then you know see what I am immersed in.
The library had it, but when I went to check it out again it was gone. I probably just get the ebook/Kindle/Nook version and read it at my leisure.
I'm liking this book but it is a memoir so don't expect the wild ride of a novel. I haven't watched much P & R but it doesn't matter. If you're a person who enjoys both "the arts" as well as the simple life on a farm this book might be for you, as long as you don't mind a little irreverent humor and profanity here and there. It's a humorous look at a serious subject, life.

Currently reading a few Nathaniel Hawthorne short stories for my intro to lit class. Man he had some dark tails, but they definitely keep me engaged in his writings.

Damn, Melville was an unrepentant perv.
William Least Heat Moon (what a name!) nails the various local dialects he hears on his journey around the country. That and his descriptions of the land, little towns and various people make this book worth your time.
And in one scene there's a kid wearing a Braves cap.
