 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!
