Recommendations

I really loved The Road. I thought it was amazing. And I am Legend was awesome too, much better than the movie.

I'm trying to find SK's film recommendations so I can netflix them. I know there was an article a couple of months ago where he mentioned some independent horror films he really enjoyed. I think Funny Games was one of them with Michael Pitt and Tim Roth. What were the other films?

Is SK going to update his favorite films for 2009 since I think the last one with Funny Games in it was for 2008?

I have The Ruins also.QUOTE=jlessl;331824]Actually, I posted a separate thread about book recommendations. I've only been disappointed in one (The Road, by Cormac McCarthy), but the following have been great -

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Heartsick by Chelsea Cain.
The Ruins by Scott Smith
The Night Gardiner by George Plecanos
The Terror by Dan Simmons

I've since read Collins' recent book, Catching Fire, which is the second in her trilogy started with The Hunger Games.

Another SK recommendation, The Garden of Last Days by Andre Dubus III, I'm awaiting from my library, which lame as it is, had to request it from another better resourced library. I'm looking forward to reading this.

As for music recommendations, well, I have no comment on that. But with regard to his his recent column (entitled "The One That Got Away") in the 10/09/09 issue of ET, he recommends the (pretty much straight to DVD) movie, Carriers, and I have reserved that on Netflix. I'll try to remember to report back once I've seen it.[/QUOTE]

He turned me on to The Story of Edgar Sawtale. One of the best books I have read in a long time. The story was very fulfiling.

I highly recommend this book also. I am three quarters of the way through and thinking I had better just read it when the sun is out.

I have never been disappointed in Mr. King's book recommendations.
