I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I'm currently reading Stephen King's The Shining for the second time. It was the first the book that I read for the sake of actually reading, not because school made me do it.

I can't really remember the first time reading it but for now it's an amazing read.

This is one of my favorite books. I’ve read it probably 4 or 5 times, and every time I come back to it, depending on where I am in my life, I get something different from it—as a son, as a father, as a man struggling personally, it just speaks to me on so many different levels.

I've also read The shining multiple times. Stephen King is one of the few authors where I enjoy rereading his stuff again and again. I've read a lot of really great books that I'm not going to pick up again and I wonder what it is that makes me want to reread the same book sometimes and not other times even if I really loved the book.
