there are two collections on the list (three if atlantis is counted, which is shouldn't be) but here is my list of those and the rest:

1. just after sunset
2. everything's eventual
3. different seasons
4. skeleton crew

*i am reading: night shift off and on.

what i have yet to read (no novels):

1. danse macabre (non-fiction)
2. four past midnight (collection)
3. nightmares and dreamscapes (collection)
4. storm of the century (screenplay)

i am also sure there are a few short stories, a comic or two, and such randomly. most of which (or all) would be pretty much unobtainable. as well as"weeds" which was an earlier short that was posted on a men's magazine (cavalier) site... can't find the story there any longer though.

wow, that took longer than i had thought it would. planning on updating this after dome and again as i read what's left.

Update: "HS" are books I read in high school.
