Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
it looks like everybody in there is a stereotype.

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
I don't think Stephen King invented it, in fact I know he didn't. "The Kingdom" was a Danish Drama years ago. I may be wrong about the Title, but it was something like that.

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
it's possible they just have the same title.

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
Speaking of Stephen King, I just finished reading his Dark Tower 5 book. It's good to get my fix; unfortunately, he's going to finish this series at book 7 and then "retire". I hope it's not a long retirement. I need my fix.

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
I just finished "The Gifts of the Jews", Thomas Cahill's second non-fiction book. It follows his Hinges of History series which started with "How the Irish Saved Civilization". I would recommend "Irish" over "Gifts", however. His third book centers on Christ, the fourth on the Greeks, the fifth will be about the Romans. Cahill is not always evenhanded, but these are hardly books aimed at scholars. He's "dumbed down" and streamlined a lot to make it accessible. All his books are less than three hundred pages so far.

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
I don't if everybody saw this, but Kingdom Hospital starts tomorrow night at 9:00 pm. Looks interesting. I just hope I can get my son to bed in time to watch it.
