I've been reading a lot lately when I can to take my mind off of all that is going on in my life. I recently decided I wanted to read all of the old Stephen King books that he wrote in his pen name Richard Bachman. I have found that I absolutely LOVE them. I had read several of them years ago and dug a few of them off the bookshelf and re-read them. Good doesn't even begin to describe them.

The very best I've read so far is Blaze. Blaze is a 'trunk book' that King put away thinking it wasn't worthy of publishing. Thankfully he changed his mind last year. I read this book in 3 days.

If you're a King fan, get this book ASAP. You'll love the main character, a slow, hulk of a man who is basically a kind hearted criminal that you just can't hate even though he does some bad things. I really felt sorry for the guy through most of the book. I won't say anymore, don't want to spoil it.

I also want to push my favorite book trading site frugalreader.com. I found this site thanks to someone on this website. I also go to paperbackswap.com. Thats how I got this book and I basically got it for free. This book has a wait on both websites so if you want it in a hurry it's best if you get it at a bookstore or on Amazon.

I'm so sad that I've finished this book....at least I've got about 6 or 7 other Bachman or King books to read! LOL
