Though Timeline will always be my favorite, Prey is definitely up there. Looks like we're supposed to be reading The Long Walk by Stephen King. I've never actually read a King book, so I'm looking foward to this one.

I am not making this up. Posts: 2,120 Group: Members Member #59 Joined: December 28, 2004	Ok, wow, so for some reason I never saw that you finished Rhapsody, because I pay attention like that. I don't know if we want to try to discuss that while reading The Long Walk, or what but yeah, go book club for coming back to life!

It was long, but it didn't really seem long to me, because it was so interesting. Even when they spent years in the middle of the earth on the roots, it didn't get boring. I honestly want to read the next book. And I will start the Long Walk soon. I need to finish what I'm on right now, first.

I feel like the characters are the strong point, even if Rhapsody does tend to get a little Mary Sue-ish from time to time. And I totally recommend the next book! Yay Long Walk!

The amazing friendships formed on the Walk? Ray/Peter OTP? Dancing on the moon? Art and his adorable southerness? Fucking OLSON? The possibilities are endless here....
