What are you reading? (June 2010)
 
Really enjoyed both of the Gillian Flynn's books, but both had endings that seemed rushed and to me, unsatisfactory. Regardless, I'd recommend them both.

The Making of Star Wars
Just started this last night and the book is fucking packed. I think it will take a year to read it cover to cover. :lol: Looks like the Making of Empire is scheduled for release in the fall. I best get busy.

The spin on this 'Making of' book is that 90% of it is comprised of archived interviews and notes pulled from before the film's release giving a fresh perspective on the film before it became a juggernaut. I'm only 15 pages in and it's already super fascinating.

I also picked up American on Purpose by Craig Ferguson. I think I'll start that this weekend.

That cover art for Blockade Billy is pretty great.

I haven't read anything by King in a long time... how was it? Good?

I've heard similar rumblings about UNDER THE DOME. I haven't read King in a very long time, but I've always loved his voice. The last thing I read that he wrote was the Green Mile when it was coming out in the monthly novellas.

I think I'll take a trip to the bookstore (aka amazon) and pick these up.
