JP> Did you read Delores Claiborne? I picked up the book, saw that it was
JP> written in Maine dialect with weird sentence structure and didn't
JP> know if i could read a whole book of that.
JP>
JP> I ended up enjoying it immensely. The screenplay wasn't bad either.
Yes, I liked it too. But watch out for that first chapter!
JP>
JP> Recently i saw the screenplay of Shawshank Redemption from 'Different
JP> Seasons' (i think) and found it to be pretty good too. Did you
JP> read/see that one?
JP>
One of the best. I bought it when it came out, I think it would have won
an Oscar if (I THINK it was Forrest Gump) hadn't been out that year.
JP> In the past few years, his screenplays (which he almost always does a
JP> cameo or small speaking part in) have been much truer to the books
JP> than the first few tries. I still think 'Christine' was one of the
JP> best.
You know, I liked Christine too, but I have heard a lot of people say
how bad it was.
JP> I remember telling a friend that the only thing that 'Lawnmower Man'
JP> had in common with the short story was the name.
JP>
That's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!
JP> I'm awaiting the call from the Library that my reserve on 'Wizard &
JP> the Glass' is ready to pick up. Last I remember of Roland he woke up
JP> across from a skeleton in black clothes with a long dead campfire
JP> between them.
Only King's I have not read are the Dark Tower books!
