Biggles Wrote:True dat! That's something that REALLY PISSES ME OFF! I love Dean Koontz' books (although many have repetitive themes and he uses the word "Bougainvillea" too damn much). I still like Stephen King, although I prefer to listen to, rather than read, his books. But Paul's books are so different from each other among categories! He can make things happen for me on so many levels that I have never been even slightly disappointed in any of his books or stories. I think the LaNague books (especially AEOTS), Black Wind, Dydeetown World, Sims, The Fifth Harmonic, all of his medical thrillers, and Nightkill are all just as worthy of being made into movies as the RJ books. Nothing that Stephen or Dean have written comes even close to the potential! :mad:

jimbow8 Wrote:I have only read Lightning by Koonz and was whelmed by it. I have read most of King's books. The main problems with his books, IMHO, are that they are too long for a movie; and they deal extensively with character development and internal thoughts which are hard to translate to celluloid; and he doesn't describe thing visually very well sometimes but more as concepts (example - the spider-creature-thing at the end of IT). He also has a penchant for weak endings. I know that this is considered sacrilege on this board () but I still consider King my favorite author because of the way he writes characters. He totally draws me into the character and his thoughts and motivations and makes an otherwise implausible situation seem completely realistic and possible.

Scott Hajek Wrote:I recognize most of the books. But, what are the books:
Second shelf down, 6 from the right

Quote:Third shelf down, 5 and 8 from the left?

Biggles Wrote:Yes Jim--that is sacriligious. Now do a good Act of Contrition, 5 Hail Marys, 5 Our Fathers, and wash your mouth, er, I mean, your hands, with soap. While you're at it, grab a ruler and slap your knuckles a few times.

jimbow8 Wrote:You forgot to mention that I have to finish reading Paul's books that I haven't yet read.

Now do your act of contrition.
