DadJoke007: SPOILER WARNING REGARDING THE SHINING

And here I enjoyed the movie far more than the book, I thought the book was pretty boring and pointless. The father was a dick from the first page so his descent into violence and insanity wasn't nearly as terrifying as it could have been if he had been a nuanced but flawed person.

PhilD: I had, completely, the opposite reaction. I was surprised at how much more there
was to the Jack Torrance character in the book (all the main characters really.)
I really got invested in them.

Maybe some reading this might not be aware, but, Stephen King was very cross at Nicholson's portrayal because his character was meant to gradually go crazy, not be a psychopath from the beginning. :D

oldgamebuff42: The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy.
Excellent plot. Did you know Clancy adapted a patriotic Soviet story? I think it might even have been the Potemkin …

Read Misery and The Long Walk! His best that does not include supernatural stuff.

Finished the Tom Clancy book. Solid read, with a nice twist at the end that I wasn't expecting. Now I'm reading Lord of Snow and Shadows by Sarah Ash. Man, that chick knows how to write!
