Yum! What are house prices like at the north pole? I have to move there!

Welcome to the forum Korrie. They're not joking, this really is the friendliest forum around!

Hi and !

Hi Kathleen to the forum - have fun!

I know what you're talking about - I too bought The Green Mile when it was serialised - that was a truly excellent summer!

I've recently read Blaze, written as Richard Bachman. King didn't exactly give it a great build-up in the introduction, but it wasn't a bad story. I can see why it wasn't published earlier in his career though - average is the best I can say about it.

After my nan bought me The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub one Christmas, I was hooked on SK and now have a complete set. I honestly couldn't tell you why I didn't go for Peter Straub. After having re-read the book, I can't say who wrote which parts!

A few of my favourites are: The Matrix Reloaded Ghostbusters Gremlins The Lost Boys The Goonies but far and away the best I consider to be The Green Mile.

The unread book that you've owned longest
Sedge replied to Oblomov's topic in General Book Discussions
It's an Octopus hardback called Science Fiction Stories featuring short stories by authors such as Brian Aldiss, H G Wells and Isaac Asimov that I was awarded at primary school for 100% attendance in 1986! It always seems to get overloked, but I'll get to it one day. -
Might try that - thanks Hazeltree.

Would you recommend reading them in the order they were written or chronologically by story?

Bernard Cornwell's first three Sharpe books are near the top of my TBR pile and I've just discovered that there are over 20 more - good job I enjoy a good marathon!

Hi Steve and welcome from a fellow Terry Pratchett fan!

Harry Potter false-spoiler top 10
Sedge replied to Freewheeling Andy's topic in Children's / Young Adult
Are you sure you've read no Harry Potter? I think you must be JK Rowling in disguise! -
Apt Pupil is one of his creepiest stories, but my favourite from Different Seasons is The Body - although it's set in 1960 it's somehow evocative of my own childhood in the seventies and eighties (although I don't recall ever coming across a dead body!). SK's shorter works definitely deliver more of a punch!

I agree - The Stand and It are 2 of his best. Does anybody prefer his novellas or short stories? I personally think you'd have to go a long way to beat The Langoliers from Four Past Midnight!
