I like it a lot too. I want to read this. I'd also love to get a hold of Rage. It's a short story by him about a high school student going ape and shooting up his school. After the Columbine thing, he asked to have it pulled from the market. Supposedly some library's still have a copy of The Bachman Books with this story still included.

I don't know Tony. I know it's not for sale in any stores, at least according to King and his editors. It was in the Bachman Books, so if you could find an old copy, it would probably be in it. A lot of people that have shot up their schools, even before Columbine, had said they either got the idea from this story, or had recently read it. King felt awful, and asked to have all the copies pulled and the story removed. I'd like to find a copy too.

at the moment i'm reading full dark, no stars. it's been a good read upto now. when i'm finished with that, i've got cell next in line, which i picked up for the bargain price of 85 pence. i think it works out at $1.40.

Full Dark No Stars is a great book of stories Lee. Like to hear your opinion on Cell when your done. Listened to that one on CD on vacation in Florida one year, I liked it.
Tony, the only way I'd pay $800 for a book is if it was the original copy of the Necrinomicon, and then I'd be haggling the price.

I could never see myself paying that much for a book.... i mean this would have to be the most holiest of books and rarest that i could turn around and sell for a profit... one last thing i must have inherited the book and no money came out of my pocket
