This is my second time reading this collection, and I really like it. This time I just go it out for Shawshank Redemption, as this is the only one I felt was re-readable.
ReplyDeleteI never realized that you liked Stephen King, What do you find enjoyable about his writing if any?
ReplyDeleteHis stories are very engaging, and descriptive which makes the great plot-lines even more enjoyable.
DeleteI love Stephen King, but have never read any of his short stories.
ReplyDeleteThe Shining was the first truly terrifying book I ever read. I had to put it down a lot and stopped reading it at night.
Right now I'm reading On Writing by King, which is a sort of memoir about King's experience as a writer. It has great writing advice on how to be clear and engaging. He sees all writing as "mental telepathy" between writer and reader.
