I loved Lisey's Story. Enjoyed it a lot. Another of his books that are upper echelon for me is Needful Things - not one that you hear on a lot of favourites lists.
The Stand is upper, upper echelon.

Maybe I'll check Lisey's Story out, since you both enjoyed it.

There are a few small differences in Shawshank, but the movie mostly stays very true to the story. If there's a better film adaptation of a story out there, I can't think of it at the moment.

Just a joke.
Travel books are dangerous for me....if I go to that section, Tre, it's hard to break away.

Green Mile was pretty damned faithful to the source, right down to the actors they chose...they all looked the part.

The Stand mini-series is fairly decent, as far as TV adaptations go.....

Sarah bought that when it first came out, and we've both read it. She's rereading the Jon Stewart one, America: The Book now.
If you like those kinds of books, you should check out Al Franken's books - Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, and Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them. Both excellent, they make their point, but with a lot of humour and satire - both laugh out loud funny, had me in tears

His books suffer when being adapted for the screen though. They're either so long that they can't possibly be compressed into two hours without being butchered, or else they get made into mini-series, where they suffer from being edited down to fit network standards. His short stories do much better as films.

I'm hesitant: I'm like Stephen Colbert, I don't trust books. Unless they're written by him. Or me.

I have the Colbert book, and started reading it, but just haven't found the time to finish it. I was on the chapter about sex
Maybe I'll have to pick it up again 
I have a Franken book, but another one I started reading and never could finish. I'm just not a reader

The best part of the Colbert book is his science glossary.

DOL, have you ever watched The Stand. The "special effects" were poor, but, the rest of it was pretty well done....Rob Lowe and Gary Sinise, amongst others, do a good job. Sinise is great, actually.

I'm mad at Stephen Colbert. He stole my damn birthday. I don't care if he's decades older than me, he still stole it And so did that damn mermaid pre-cog in the Electrical Storm video.
