this is prob my favourite king book read it in highschool first.have reread it about 6 or 7 times.
I just heard the Stephen King wrote a sequel to The Shining called... Doctor Sleep.
Coming out in September. It finds Danny (Redrum !) working at a hospice and using his supernatural powers to ease the suffering of the dying. He wrote it because so many readers asked him "what ever happened to Danny", he wondered too. so he answered their question.
I'll read that one.
Racing the Beam:
A book by Ian Bogost and Nick Montfort describing the history and technical challenges of programming for the Atari 2600 video game console.
The book's title comes from the fact that the Atari 2600, initially branded the VCS (Video Computer System), did not have a video frame buffer, and required the programmers to write each line of video to the television, one line at a time. As there were only a limited number of machine cycles in which to do this, the programmers were literally racing the electron beam across the screen.
Racing the Beam discusses the history of the VCS platform and the design decisions that impacted the types of games that could be written for it. Specific titles such as Combat, Pitfall! and Yars' Revenge are analyzed from a technical and cultural perspective.
Racing the Beam was intended as the first in a series of books on early video game platforms, and has been cited by modern Atari 2600 enthusiasts as an inspiration for attempting to write new games for the platform
Necro.I am currently on Book 3 of The Wheel of Time. Finished The Way of Kings, and can't wait for the second book. Might also be time for my yearly reading of The Stand.
He kinda made me mad when he killed off most people, but my thinking was that it has to go somewhere. But i did like it when he killed Joff, he got what was coming to him. (I said laughing quietly to myself).
