I’m about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it’s ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I’m looking forward to moving on to Stephen King’s The Stand.

    This is one of my favorite books. I’ve read it probably 4 or 5 times, and every time I come back to it, depending on where I am in my life, I get something different from it—as a son, as a father, as a man struggling personally, it just speaks to me on so many different levels.

      I’ve also read The shining multiple times. Stephen King is one of the few authors where I enjoy rereading his stuff again and again. I’ve read a lot of really great books that I’m not going to pick up again and I wonder what it is that makes me want to reread the same book sometimes and not other times even if I really loved the book.
