#94. More of a novella?
Well, I procrastinated my way into another completed thing. I read Stephen King’s The Colorado Kid, which I think is probably more of a novella than a book. It’s a quick read, obviously, and it’s a satisfying-yet-unsatisfying story. On one hand, it’s a mystery with no conclusion, on the other, a tale about how the stories of our life are often left without resolution. I liked it, and I didn’t.
So, I’m crossing this one off, but my Stephen King craving is unmet, so I’ve put Everything’s Eventual on my library hold list.
Quick Update on #7 (Finish my Programming Class)… Well, it should have said “Actually start, then finish my programming class.” I just got started today, once I straightened out all of the network ID and software issues. I’m going to have to fly through it if I want to finish without getting a six-month extension, but it’s possible. Of course, my head is swimming now, since I’ve been slugging my way through Java at rapid pace all day.
Time to take a break again!

I was google-ing “Craig Ferguson” and I ran across you site. I think that this is an amazing idea and I implore your dedication. I may even start my own list!
anyways I am a huge Steven King fan (in my house we call him uncle Stevie). I’ve not yet read Tthe Colorado Kid” but I own “Everythings Eventual” and it’s a really good collection of short stories, I think you’ll like it!
keep up the work, and thank you for inspiring me to get off my lazy one and make a list of my own!

I ran into this site while I was looking for the date of when the movie”The Mist’ came out and I decided to leave a comment. I love Stephen King. Always have, My first horror movie as a child was Pet Cementary… boy was that fun. Proud to say that i am missing only a couple of books of the Stephen King library. The Colorado Kid isnt yet in there but Ill get to form my own opinion!
