"No Human eye can isolate the unhappy coincidence of line and place which suggests evil in the face of a house, and yet somehow a maniac juxtaposition, a badly turned angle, some chance meeting of roof and sky, turned Hill House into a place of despair, more frightening because the face of Hill House seemed awake, with a watchfulness from the blank windows and a touch of glee in the eyebrow of a cornice."

Only 300 pages to go!! (the last 100 pages are footnotes, having been read along the way). I think I can .... I think I can .... I think I can .... !!!!!

So....will 2017 be the year I finally finish this book? I surely hope so.

Picking this back up again after cleansing my brain with some easier reads over the last few months. New goal: Finish by November so this doesn't drag on for longer than a year from when I first picked it up.

"What makes life meaningful enough to go on living?" This is the kind of book that could change a person....

By this point, I'm pretty sure I will be reading this book for the rest of my life. And I don't mean repeatedly. Just the first read through. But I'm not about to put it down for good. WILL finish this beast of a novel.

this is going to be tense right up to the very end!

moving right along on this third and final installment of a great sci-fi trilogy!

Hey! The author dude is in my profile pic! ;-) So you KNOW I'm loving every second of SHIFT (gotta hurry up and finish before the third and final book lands on my doorstep)

that moment when the book you're reading totally changes course and you realize that you're reading a totally different type of story than you thought. WHAT JUST HAPPENED!

finished Part One and enjoying. it's one of those books that's a case study of regular people and how they react to normal events and tragedy. in this case, the tragedy has already happened, so it's alot of reflecting. we'll see what Part Two holds.

this would be my DREAM. COME. TRUE. Partying like a rock star right along side my favorite rock star in NYC!

Just finishing the "Dying" section ... OMG!!!!! Listening to this on audiobook and I can't remember a time I've ever been SO tense while driving.

Listening to the audiobook of this and it is so messed up to hear the dialogue in a child's voice. I mean, it's a total horror story no matter how you're reading it **chills** Difficult read, but can't wait to see where this is going.

finished Chapters 1-3 and I'm already giddy for Lacey and Trina to start their tour with the band :-D

only 3 chapters in, and I feel like a total prude admitting to this but....the sex is really distracting!

just finished Chapter 6 Los Angeles 1939 and I'm like ... WTF just happened?!

ah, so there IS a teleportation device in this book, afterall!

okay, I can already tell no work will be completed at the today ... with the exception of finishing this book!!

"Beginnings could happen more than once, or in different ways. You could think you were starting something afresh, when actually what you were doing was carrying on as before."

"So, for the second time in just as many days, I breathed, 'Run, Nell. We have to run.'" EE! So intense! I feel like I could read this book in one sitting...if things like, you know, work! didnt get in the way....

"He understood that in walking to atone for the mistakes he had made, it was also his journey to accept the strangeness of others. As a passerby, he was in a place where everything, not only the land, was open. People would feel free to talk, and he was free to listen. To carry a little of them as he went."

the fairy storyline is just so much better in the books than on the True Blood show...

delicious revenge...

I want to LIVE in the library at the Orphanage of Castaway Children....

LOVING this book...it is so so witty!

okay, I am fully immersed into the realm of the Echoes...

Ahh!! Fate Sealers!! The stuff that nightmares are made of...
Only 3 chapters in, and already off on a great adventure!
