Recently finished Stephen King's "Lisey's Story". Interesting concept, very good character depth (at least for Lisey and her husband... the other characters, even her sisters, seemed like paper mache in comparison).

The downside is that the book is just way too long for very little payoff. There really isn't a lot going on, but King draws it out over 650 pages. By the end I felt satisfied in that the book was enjoyable, but also glad it was over. I've switched to Scott Adam's "Stick to Drawing Comics, Monkey Boy" for a much-needed change of pace.

It's only the second period and I'm winning 12-2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, the Whale, they only beat Vancouver maybe once or twice in a lifetime."
