It's actually quite possible to spend quality time with the family AND make time to read a good book.

What book would you recommend? Surely you have something to offer the thread?

Ok, Stephen King! 😉

His movies seem to never live up to the books though, in my opinion.

The green mile 1999 was a great movie though I never read the book, not sure if there was one. Some dirt must have gotten my eye because I had a tear running down my face, which rarely happens.

Oh yes, I enjoyed the shawshank redemption, and Carrie also.

The shining, It, and I believe it was called the stamp. I believe would be my top 3, hard to pick one as I enjoyed them all.

I really enjoyed his style of writing as you never knew what was going to happen or the outrages things that would. He has a very imaginative mind.

It was The Stand, published in 1978.

The sprawling narrative is too much for just one movie, projects to do so were eventually abandoned, although there was a miniseries released in 1994 on ABC.

Yes, I believe you are correct The Stand!!!

I appreciated Stephen King's 'The Dead Zone' and 'Misery'.

Can we have this discussion somewhere else, please - this thread is for literature.

my author of choice is Michael Moorcock it would have been Joseph Heller but he only wrote 2 novels.

Aharon Megged: Das fliegende Kamle mit dem goldenen Höcker (German Translation, original Hebrew)

A book from the perspective of a writer. I read it some 20 years ago and meant to reread it some time now.

I bought two books today: Malin Persson Giolito: Quicksand (Störst av allt), and Stina Jackson: The Silver Road (Silvervägen), both awarded Best Swedish Crime Novel, of 2016 and 2018.

Frank Schätzing: Breaking News

About a German Journalist trying to get a good story on the Afghanistan war (which was always a "peace-kereping mission" in german official statements). And a reflection how the world cam thus far.
