I just finished two books, and your post was the first thing that popped up when I opened lemmy, what ahappy lil coincidence! The Stephen King one sounds interesting, what's your favorite? I quite enjoyed the one about the apocalypse (forgot the name)
The books I finished are: A prayer for the crown-shy by Becky Chambers (Cozy second part of a nice little Solarpunk novel, the first one is really nice too)
Shards of the earth by Adran Tchaikovsky (A not so cozy but gripping first part of a Sci Fi trillogy about a mysterious Alien invasion of god like world destroyers)
Thanks for the posts, If you like give some recommendations, I read the Knife too, moved me to tears that one.
Edit: "The Stand" is the King book I meant.
You can see the Bart prototype in this one, Matt Groening is just great.
