Best ever quote from a novel..... ifyou get this then you get repped 50 times from me

[frozensolid_702]

Actually I think it's from the S.K. book "It".

So close, and yet so far..................

[Steelie]

Is it from 'Fly Fishing by J R Hartley..'?

I've read all his books several times, but it's been a long while and you, sir, are the MAN

I haven't read Stephen King's novels. I only watch them.

His movies are o.k.; The Green Mile an awesome one, but for the most part his books are so much better. They are so big and it takes a while to get through them; the movies take so much out of the story. Tommyknockers, It, Desperation all great reads.

The Shawshank Redemption was pretty good. That quote was familiar, but it was so distant I was never going to get it without researching. I read The Stand way back in like '97 or so- the unabridged version.

For a great horror read with some nice humor injected in it, you guys should check out John Dies at the End by David Wong. The guy blogged his whole novel and then published it, but you can still read it for free. The sequel is even in there too. One of the best books I've ever read.

It's funny you mention Shawshank Redemption; I'm watching it now for about the millionth time. I always forget it's a King movie.

The Stand, Stephen King

Unlucky Legion

Nice work, Fenster.



But be honest....... did you have to look it up, or did that just come right off the top of your head? I haven't read the book in years, but I'll never forget that "journal entry," from one of the many antagonists in that book.

I knew it. I regularly recite it to friends.

At least I got the right author Is there a consolation prize Mr. Smarty Pants

I knew it was Stephen but didn't know from which novel.

[CutMeMick]

I know this one well because "World Literature" was my fav. subject in HS and this became one of my fav. books/stories ever...

I'm studying English Language and Literature along with Film Studies in College. Gotta read quite a lot of books for it.

I like the Faulkner quote that goes something like:

It is fortunate that they put love in books, perhaps it couldn't live anywhere else.
