"From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back, the title is quite a mouthful, but this is a short story collection that is just what the title says. For instance you have an Imperial who is part of the team that analyzes probe droid data, or…"
"Oh, I just read a review of that book yesterday. Sounds good.
The best Stephen King reading experience I ever had was back in the '90s when The Green Mile was being published serially. There were 8 or 10 people in my office reading and…"
"I just read Later, the new book by Stephen King for Hard Case Crime. I liked it a lot. I tend to like King best at his least ambitious -- just telling a story in an efficient way, get in and get out. This one's about a young boy who sees dead…"

"I keep meaning to read that ..."
"I used to have a copy of that. May still do."
"THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS by L. Frank Baum: In lieu of reading this aloud to my nieces or my nephew, I read it aloud to myself. Lots of interesting trivia here. For example, Santa's first two reindeer were Flossie and Glossie.…"

"Currently reading How Soon is Now? by Richard King. A book about the independent labels that sprouted in the 70s and on. I'm barely into it..
