The book focuses on finding peace in God’s pauses and plans.

My favorite would probably be The Dark Half. IT scared the hell out of me as a kid (I absolutely, positively HATE clowns).

I havent read the dark half. I love pet semetary.
Give it a shot. Pet Semetary is a pure classic! Bag Of Bones and 11-23-63 are good ones to check out too.
I definitely will! Have you see the remake of Pet semetary?

I admit, I haven’t seen either of the movies. Bad track record with turning his books into movies. I’m very picky about that, probably because I have a certain vision of what everything should be from the books. Maybe I should give it a shot though, right?
The original one is good. The remake sucked. They changed everything about it.

I was so disappointed.

I would recommend making a or some polls to narrow the themes of books. I guess that’s what we did last year. Then I think we made a time poll.
It was a nice experience although I struggled a bit with the language.

Im getting into a little bit of everything. Right im on reading a murder mystery/romance by one of my favorite author.
Mostly Horror/Sci-Fi/Thrillers, but on the non-fiction side, I like to read about WWII. Topic was always an interest to me.
I love reading… I re-read the Harry Potter-books recently, but I also love adult books 
The last book I read was The Good Liar by Nicolas Searle

I could never get into the Harry Potter stuff, but understood the allure. My wife and son read all of them. Good fantasy.
I use reading of all types to replace my harmful addictions. I was always a big reader but am amazed at how little I was reading while I was drinking these last few years. I was either too worried about the next drink, passing out, or forgetting what I had read the day / hour before. Since going into therapy and being sober 10 months, I am back to do something I truly enjoy. The library, inter-library loan, and kindle are my new sober best friends. I read news and popular novels when I want easy bite-size distractions from cravings or triggers, I read literary novels, science fiction, and thrillers to pass the time, I read history or science or classics when I want to concentrate or preparing to sleep. I read short stories when I have little gaps of time between stressors. I read self-help one a day to keep my sobriety on track. My active pile has Joe R. Lansdale, Octavia Butler, King Leopold’s Ghost, 2020 The Best American Scince Fiction and Fantasy Short Stories, The Abundance Project, and Susan Eldrich … does anyone else here use reading as a tool for sobriety?
