Currently Reading: Mr. Mercedes

I'm a Stephen King groupie (a "constant reader" as he might say) so I was psyched to start this book.  While I love his paranormal horror writing, I've developed an appreciation for his psychological horror as well.  Written in the present tense, it's even more of a departure from his previous writing.

As much as I hated to walk away from such a compelling book, I did take a break from reading yesterday to play around on the fun interactive site that is set up to mimic Brady's basement on the official Stephen King website (the fun can be found here: http://stephenking.com/promo/mr_mercedes/the-basement/).  There are several fun puzzles and hidden activities to be found here, but be warned - if you haven't read the book at all, some spoilers will be revealed.  If you're a reader who wants to approach this book with as little knowledge of plot as possible, do not go to this site until you're at least half way through this book.
