What's your favorite book or movie based on Stephen King's work? I love the TV show 'The Dead Zone'. The movie was awesome, too. 'Carrie' is a classic and 'Silver Bullet'. Gosh, there are just so many fantastic ones! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be 'The Green Mile'. That movie is timeless. Any thoughts?
I got lucky this weekend and found two copies of The Bachman Books, which contain the the now out-of-print Rage. I only have one of the four stories in this book. (The Running Man) I haven't read any of the stories in the book, despite having (The Running Man) already in paperback form. This was a totally awesome find.
How you found Rage is beyond me, but that's pretty awesome. I know the book caused some controversy, but a story is a story, and I'd love to read that particular one.
I was looking through the used book section of a thrift store. They had books in boxes on the floor in front of the shelves. I had found several different paperbacks that I wanted. Silence of the Lambs was one of those. Then my wife joined me where she found several Stephen King... Show more
I was looking through the used book section of a thrift store. They had books in boxes on the floor in front of the shelves. I had found several different paperbacks that I wanted. Silence of the Lambs was one of those. Then my wife joined me where she found several Stephen King books. They were in a hard back section, and as I'm looking over them I see the Bachman Books sitting there, almost hidden there without their dust jackets, but I snatched both of them up quickly. I quickly flipped through them to see of they had Rage and both did. They were no more than $1.00 each.
Love SK. I think I've read them all, but I only read half of the Kennedy assassination one (can't remember the title slash date)and only the first quarter of 'under the dome'. I couldn't get into either of them and I hate leaving a book undone.
Please, someone convince me i should go back and finish them because of the story, not because I shouldn't leave a book undone. :-)
The Kennedy one starts strong, but it does tend to drag a little during the middle. However, by the end you love how it all ties together. As for Under the Dome, that one does jump a lot from perspective to perspective. However, it gets more intense as it goes along, and you'll... Show more

As for Under the Dome, that one does jump a lot from perspective to perspective. However, it gets more intense as it goes along, and you'll be satisfied if you're a definite King fan.
tell you how much I like those two books, and mostly because I haven't read either of them yet. Both are on my to-read-list, however I haven't gotten to either of them and might not during this calender year. When I do read them I'll copy and paste my review to the group.
Stephen King talks about the accident that almost took his life. He also speaks about his struggl...

Favorite book- I've only read a couple, and I'm reading the gunslinger now, but my favorite would probably have to be the Shining or IT.
Movie- Either Misery or the Shining (the Stanley Kubrick version). Contrary to Stephen kIng, I actually really liked Kubrick's interpretation.
Dreamcatcher, the movie. Thinner, as paperback & movie (OK, short film). Salem's Lot, MANY years ago...
