...but apparently he and I share some musical tastes.

Notice I didn't say "taste," singular.

What?

He doesn't like "Chocolate Rain" by Tay Zonday????

I thought that was what everyone heard on their phones in "Cell".

Me too. I like most of his books too.

I don't care for horror stories but I very much like several other of his books, especially

The Green Mile
The Stand
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

also the novellas within Four Seasons (Apt Pupil is the scariest but Shawshank is one of the best stories ever written)

I liked The Stand. I read Christine as a teenager and it scared the shit out of me.

I enjoy his column in Entertainment Weekly.

I have read only one book by Mr. Stephen.

"Once upon a time, not so long ago," I read Cujo.

I didn't believe a word in it.

It seems that SK uses Steve Earle a lot in his books (he always has either music playing or characters thinking of lyrics).

I still to this day take my keys out of the ignition and throw them in the console when my car's in the garage, lest Mary Jean go all Christine on me.

That was a sweet Fury, though. I think I read somewhere that they gathered up practically all of them still in existence and still had to use some other years for certain angles. Like how the Chargers are almost extinct from all the carnage on Dukes of Hazzard.

I'm a big Stephen King fan and have read a few books I never would have otherwise -- everything after Wizard and Glass in the Gunslinger series, for example. Well, Wolves of the Calla wasn't too bad. Still, last time I read Drawing of the Three, I enjoyed it just as much as the first time -- more maybe.

I agree completely with Skoop about Apt Pupil and Shawshank. Both are beautifully written, but I'll never set eyes on Apt Pupil again. It's hall-light-on scary. Speaking of which, that's why I'll never read Pet Sematary -- one of my co-workers said he slept with the hall light on for two weeks during and after the time he spent reading it.

Next time I get a chance, I'll give a listen to Steve Earle with such stellar recommendationers as MrKelley and MrKing.

The clown in the movie "It" still gives me nightmares.

I presume the link in this thread is to his Entertainment Weekly column listing of 2007's singles he likes. I was impressed when I read it last night, that his tastes are varied and not too fogeyish. But that comes through in his columns anyway.
