more good books

For the record, The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest goddam movie ever.

I read anything from King or John Grisham quite a bit, or whatever else I have the time to read. Sometimes I think though, that you people and yer shitty typing skills give me more of a challenge than novels, though.

*Edit* Well I guess The Shawshank Redemption wasn't really a book, more just a story. Either way it was a movie from one of Stephen King's written works, and it's the most wicked movie ever and #1 on my favorite movie list.

I do find that in some cases seeing the movies can generate some interest in the book for myself. The reason i started reading Clancy novels was watching Hunt For Red October, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games and the such.

yea, most of the Tom Clancy movies made good to their books.

They did have to change the stories around a bit so as to save time (pretty normal for most book-based movies). But I think of the book-based movies i've seen, they do their books some justice.

Thought about some more stuff I've read. Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes was pretty cool too.
