I have read most of Kings books. When you get to be my age you forget some of the books and have to re-read them. Of course, some I have read multiple times such as the Stand, The Long Walk and the Shining. Some I have read only once and probably won't read again such as Pet Sematary, Cujo, and the Tommy Knockers.
I have enjoyed some of the movies but I would say that most of King's books do not translate to film very well. The exception being the Body, Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile. I guess it really has a lot to do with the filmmaker as well. I just hope that Frank Darabont does not screw up The Long Walk movie. I think it could be a really great movie but we will have to see what happens.
Any way I look forward to discussing the great books that King has published. Thanks for the stories Mr. King!
