As always, an enjoyable review - thanks. I keep seeing references to 'IT' (admittedly, at least a couple from KB). It's been on my list for a while now, and probably the only King blockbuster I haven't read. I think I'll pick that up, when I finish what I'm on now ("The Count of Monte Cristo" - one chapter in, and captivated). Recently finished 'Blindsight' by Watts, which I believe was reviewed on hubski. Interesting ideas were explored, but the writing and the story didn't do it for me. Also recent : "The Stranger" by Camus. Maybe I just didn't 'get it' but I was underwhelmed. At least it was short. "Catcher in the Rye" by Salinger. Rubbish. At least it was short.
