You may be asking yourself, "Why should I listen to a random guy who I don't even know as to what books I should read?" Good question. (If you asked my wife, she would probably say you shouldn't. She stopped listening to me a long time ago, but I digress.) Anyway, here's the answer, because I'm just like you. I've been married for just short of an eternity. I have a couple of kids, a job, and a bunch of bills. I love sports, booze, swearing, hanging out with the fellas, and reading. I read a lot. I read at lunch, I read on the throne, I read every night in bed before drifting off to a fitful sleep (Why am I reading as opposed to doing something a little bit more cardio intensive in bed before going to sleep? See above.) Anyway, I've been building my library for a few years now and have over 270 volumes in it. I'll be posting a couple of reviews a week (in theory). I'll start with some of my favorites from the past and add new books as I finish them. Read the reviews, buy the books, and enjoy!

Under the Dome: A Novel by Stephen King

Let me get this out up front; Stephan King scares the crap outta me.  His writing is so evil and twisted, you know there are some wires upstairs that have to be crossed.  Not only that, but he looks exactly like you would expect him to look.  Seriously, if I stumbled upon him at a Red Sox game I would probably piss myself.  That being said, he is a hell of an author.

Under the Dome is awesome!  Every time you think it can't get any worse, it does.  Every time you think something good is going to happen, it doesn't.  At 1,072 pages (I shit you not) this monster is actually a pretty quick read.  Now, you have to be able to embrace your dark side, because the bad guys do a lot of damage for the majority of this.  But if you can power through, I think you'll like it.  Hell, it even has a bit of necrophilia in it, so how can you go wrong?
