    For me I have to try and approach them as a completely different entity so as not to be disappointed.

    I enjoyed Foundation series but it was no way like reading the books, for example.

    (Not really, there was a discussion about Norton on Masto and I snapped a shot of my copy of the Pink Shirt Book from the office library in response. Good excuse to bump this back up from the depths, though - what you all readin'?!)

    I'm reading HG Wells' The War in the Air, first of his I've read and I'm surprised how much humour is in it. I managed to get a cheap, poor condition first edition off eBay, it's more fun to read decrepit old books like this :hehe:

    Shame about the condition, obviously, but that's a beautiful book!

    Finished The Pale Blue Eye a long time ago, read a lot since then... Not that I remember all of it. A couple of Jack Reacher novels, the sixth book in the Red Rising series, some comics.

    Right now I'm reading King's latest novel, Holly.

    Did you read Duma Key? That was a belter. Discovered it recently, belatedly.

    I've read every single novel, novella, short story collection, and non-fiction book he ever released. Well, with the exception of one or two short stories that were either magazine or Kindle exclusives about ten to 15 years ago.

    You could say I'm a fan of his work, I guess. ;)
