You mean there is a book that goes with that movie that runs 24-7 on TNT?

Different Seasons is my favorite short stories by SK, It was best horror novel and 11/22/63 is my favorite "tamer" novel (just finished). After SK, there is only second place for best author.

Welcome. I take it you're a Shawshank fan/

Doowopgirl, I'm a pretty avid reader. The two books that really made me say "Wow!, That was awesome!" after reading were Shawshank and 11/23/63. Maybe because both ended so open ended with countless possibilities. So awesome but so craving more info on what happens to the characters. Thanks for asking!

Being an avid reader myself I have to agree with your reaction to both books. The Stand made me feel like that as well.
