I have read everything King has done (with the exception of the Dark Tower stuff where it just got too fantasy like for my taste) Every time I read his stuff I always wonder when the movie version will come out. Unfortunately not all of his books translate well to the big screen. Green Mile worked quite well, as did "The Body" which became the movie "Stand by Me" but of his other books made into movies, I think the directors views and interpretations do not meet the readers expectations and personalizations of the writers work. Just my opinion, but I will be getting his latest on my nook.
