I read and reread The Stand - enjoyed his earlier books - what he writes now I can't get into - the only movies that were made from his books worth my time were The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile - otherwise my imagination is much more vivid then anything Hollywood can do - they could never do the clown in the sewer - also don't care for his recent diatribes - so he's off my list -
