First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros 11-22-63

Every Tuesday Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea shares the first paragraph or two of a book she is currently reading or plans to read soon. You can link up to her Tuesday posts with the first chapter and first paragraph of your current read. It is a great place to get a taste of a new book, or explore further one you may already have on your bookshelf and haven't yet opened. See what the rest of us are reading, come join us. 

This week I started, finally: 

11/22/63

Stephen King

Scribner a division of Simon and Schuster

I have never been what you'd call a crying man.
    My ex-wife said that my "nonexistent emotional gradient" was the main reason she was leaving me (as if the guy she met in her AA meetings was beside the point). Christy said she supposed she could forgive me not crying at her father's funeral; I had only known him for six years and couldn't understand what t wonderful giving man he had been (a Mustang convertible as a high school graduation present, for instance). But then, when I didn't cry at my  own parent's funeral - they died just two years apart, Dad of stomach cancer and Mom of a thunderclap heat attack while taking a walk on a Florida beach - she began to understand the nonexistent gradient thing. I was "unable to feel my feelings," in AA-speak. 

So, would you read on? Have you already read this one?  Are you a Stephen King fan?




Until next time
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
