I was just getting ready to reset my book goal for the year when I stopped by the library to pick up some books I had on hold and grabbed the latest Stephen King novel, Under the Dome. This sucker is HUGE, weighing in at 3lbs, 12oz. and sporting 1071 pages. Holy schnikes.

Yeah, but it's a Stephen King. It's not this guy.
Great. Now I get to add Language Learnability and Language Development to the to-read list.
let me know how it is. I've been very cautious about buying his new books ever since that super-lame one about the killer cell phone.
Christie, I wouldn't dream of suggesting anyone read the other guy. I am determined to finish just one of his books, but just to be able to say I did. The guy seriously needs an editor.
Which one are you reading?
"How the Mind Works". About 1/2 way through. I tried the Language Instinct, but man, it was so all over the place. This one is too, but it's OK since I only read a few pages a week. I forget what point he was trying to make and just am reading it as little vignettes. Brian makes fun of me, but I'm determined to finish. At least it helps me sleep.
Oh, and Stephen King is way too spooky for me.
Jen,
I'm about 150 pages in and things are happening. I shall keep you posted.
