I said in the Best Book thread that I had not enjoyed Cold Mountain. It's not bad, really, it just didn't deliver what the hype had promised.

I am a big Stephen King fan, have read 25 of his books (although not lately), and I hated the Tommyknockers. Too sci=fi for me.

I also did not like Larry McMurtry's Streets of Laredo, the sequel to Lonesome Dove. He should have quit while he was ahead. (I did not like the movie of Dead Man's Walk, and I have yet to finish Comanche Moon, supposedly the last of the Lonesome Dove series. Gawd, I hope so...)

I tried to read Satanic Verses once and got through the first ten pages before I took it back to the library out of sheer boredom.
