That's the very last King book I ever read. It was a brilliant read but the movie scared the living crap out of me. Never could back to his stuff after that.

Oh, that's a great idea, I need something lighthearted to read. See, M's leaving for a few days and I'll be all alone with a ton of work to do and all work and no play makes Ziva a dull girl.

Never read any of his books. I have seen most the movies. <- Horrible to admit I know but true. I love the idea of this photo.

I'm a big King fan. Read almost everything he's written. And that movie had me on the edge of my seat.

Some of the movies missed the mark. Nothing compares to the original books.

Perfect choice for shiny. The Shining is a great book if you like scary stuff. King is also a masterful writer.

I'm replying to your comment because I'm having trouble logging into Disqus on blogger sites. I hope they fix the problem.

Have you read his latest book? My husband is reading it. He loves it. I started reading it. But it's hard to read the same book while my husband is holding it.

Hello fellow participant,

Huge King fan - but never read that book. Gotta admit the movie is a classic.

I love his early novels...The Stand, The Shining, It. He really is the master of the "can't put down" stuff.

I read 11/22/63 back in March. Is that the one you're talking about? Loved it. Kind of different for King.

What's that they say? Unstable minds think alike? Except that I'm a 'fraidy cat and can only handle a more friendly Shining. :)

Very nice, and a favourite book of mine. I remember how that book (and movie) creeped me out. In the edition that I read, the scene where Danny finally enters room 217 happened on page...217! Coincidence?

Hard to imagine but the book was even better.

It was the first thing that came to mind. And I've heard you should always go with your first thought, so...

I think it's "fools seldom differ" but same thing.

It had to be me.

Thanks, Cheryl. I thought it was a great way to start out.

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
