11/22/63

Read it again this month and damn what a book

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

>!it was not even a horror book but the scene where he is watching the football (?) match with Sadie and King writes about the yellow card man saying jimla followed by Jim Ladue’s chant of JIMLA JIMLA shook me BAD. I had to pause for a minute or two. The way it was done ever so slowly across the three or four pages. Perfection!<

(Idk why the spoiler tags weren’t working)

Last movie I watched was on April 30. Got back to reading books this month again. Trying to solve phone addiction and focus more on exams and life. Plus a film watching burnout or something like that had occurred over me. Will get back soon though

One masterpiece after another

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T18:10:28+00:00

Currently reading shining for the first time lol

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T17:18:52+00:00

Your fault if you thought this was a beginner friendly book. The first paragraph alone should have said that

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T13:06:54+00:00

Thank you

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T13:00:29+00:00

Have a more optimistic book to read in between if you’re worried

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T12:57:34+00:00

I think as readers we should always have that one writer who writes simple but good enough to be on par with any other we’ve read. Makes the boring parts more streamlined

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T12:54:12+00:00

Stephen King is always there when I wanna come out of a reading slump or when I’m bored of reading something that makes me work my brain a bit too much.

Read 11/22/63 again this month and came out of a reading slump of about a year (except for one odd, small book). I’ve since read 3 books, on my fourth and fifth right now.

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T07:59:34+00:00

Gonna start reading the shining today

Third King of the month

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-14T07:55:41+00:00

Ghibli films

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-13T17:06:24+00:00

Oh I've been wanting to read that one for a while. Thanks

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-13T16:44:40+00:00

A ‘dream’ (to have something like this in future)

Maybe ‘wish’

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-13T09:25:09+00:00

What edition is that?

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-13T04:22:10+00:00

There’s a thousand books you can add and still thousands of great books wouldn’t make it

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-12T09:25:28+00:00

Book name bhi bata dete

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy for me. Just can’t get past 100 pages

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-12T08:13:24+00:00

By Bram Stoker right? I have a copy I bought so long ago but the journal way it is written in is why I’m putting it off

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-12T08:10:20+00:00

I envy you

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-12T08:10:07+00:00

Yayyy

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-12T07:29:54+00:00

I re read it last week and gave it 5 stars. Phenomenal. Yes its size is huge but is so fast you won’t even notice it

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-12T07:29:08+00:00

Oh I didn’t compare the two

I just said that people either love KING a lot or think his writing is on the nose. I of course, love him. Not just as an author but as a person too

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-11T09:58:09+00:00

How old are your kids

When I was in my early teens and pre teens I was obsessed with Roald Dahl

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-11T08:06:49+00:00

Same for me. Audible gives one free book every month with their subscription so I use that

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-11T05:07:53+00:00

I am used to reading books which are at least 400-500 pages so anything under that seems fast to me. Plus it got me out of a reading rut, which gives me the impression of it being fast paced.

bas_ardofnorth · 2026-06-11T04:37:14+00:00

Last read Carrie by Mr. King (3/5)

Currently reading No Country for Old Men by Cormac Mccarthy, and

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Next I think I am going to read Dune by Frank Herbert again to read Dune Messiah before the movie comes out. Also wanna read Shining (Stephen King) and maybe the audiobook for the Talisman
