This one was more than a slog for me.
For me: Fair Extension is tops followed closely by 1922. Good Marriage and then Big Driver. Fair Extension was fantastic. I am fascinated by the dark side of humanity...so much closer to us than we...
I kinda liked the Rev Libby.
I certainly do! I doubt Mr. King will ever hear of it. I also don't think he'll ever completely understand the gravity of what his books meant to me as a young kid of about ten (they were a saving...
I'm going to make a confession here and knowing my luck Mr. King himself will see me in court after reading it! :)
When I was very young and shopping at a Woolworth's with my mom, I saw...
As far as this one is concerned, the book, hands down.
Wow-this is one of SK's books that I couldn't put down! Every word in it has meaning. I love Andy-he's such a cool guy.
Touche. But truthfully, the Iraq war isn't THAT old. My brother is only 36 and he just finished up a tour there. Someone older than that may give someone the impression that he was further up the...
In the book, wasn't Dale Barbara in his early thirties? To me, that would leave out a lot of the suggestions, no offense. Timothy Olyphant would be my first thought. Then Josh Duhamel.
I think George Scott was a very good Rainbird. Also, back in the day when this film was made, that was as good as the graphics got. Not cheap work-OLD work. If that movie were remade, imagine the...
For this one, I will quote Mark Twain: "The quickest cure for christianity is to read the bible." 'nuff said.
Scarecrowjoe: I can't say I blame you there. So happy to hear that you like the book! You make me want to re-read it. It's been a while since I've been been engrossed in that one.
Burpee's? I really need to get out of my cage more often...we don't have those in Ohio.
The movie was alright but if you're watching it for the first time, you have to keep in mind that it was originally made quite a long time ago. Once you get past that, it's not a bad watch. I also...
Scarywriter-I am in complete agreeance with you. Christine was and still is a highly influential piece of fiction. Whenever a piece of machinery seems to have a mind of its own, what do people call...
I can honestly say I've never bought a King book secondhand or received one as a hand-me-down. My patience wears thin as I anxiously await the next installment of my King library. The only King...
Wow, a lot of these lists are mostly made up of newer King work. I have to say I love the classics most of all. There are a few newer ones that are alright but my greatest loves are the ones that...
I read Firestarter at least once a year. It was one of the first books I picked up by SK and to this day, I regard it as one of the best. I love the complexity of Rainbird and the relationship...
The only one I can't take is in Apt Pupil. The torture of the animals is too much for me.
I just finished The Gingerbread Girl on audio (purchased at a Borders for a slightly lower than normal price) and now I'm moving on to Blaze on audio.
