OMG! I was JUST going to say that! hahahah I totally agree!


Also.. Misery... I read the book.. scared the pants off me.. then watched the film and thought it was pantsy in comparison.

Tho it WAS still good... but not a patch on the book imo.

When the Green Mile first came out.. it as released in six parts.. six skinny books..

At the time.. I think the only other author to have done that was Dickens.

Anywayyy... it nearly killed me!!! Because they released ONE per month... so I would get it.. read it in a day.. and be BEGGING to see what happened next...

and had to wait a friggin MONTH to find out! hahaha


Then they released the paperback full version.


have you read SK's Insomnia? I loved that!!
I love the connections to other characters in other books he does.. I love looking out for them .. and get sooo excited when I find then.. hahaha

HOW sad am I..

rolling eyes rolling eyes laugh

My favorite book?

Let's see...

I have to say just one. D'oh!

Um...

The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran.

No. The Pumphouse Gang, by Tom Wolf

No. The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck.

Ah, hell. There's only a few books I don't like. Mein Kampf, for instance.

''The Wind in the Willows'' is the only book I ever read more than once (lotsa times)...

I read it over and over and very often aloud for some weird reason, so I guess it must be my favourite book. dunno

Actually, I think I'll go get it out again now yawn

People should read it.
