read "the shining"

I saw a clip of the film on Top 100 Horror Films and, of course, the reference to it in Friends, basically a whole episode about reading the book…and putting it in the freezer. Hmmm does that method work?

I will be searching everywhere to get that book, Most Haunted visited the place it was based on…it was good.

Chapter 6! And now i’ve got not job… which means more beach days!
I’ll get it bloody read!

I’m about 4 chapters in… I’m slowly progressing!

bla bla

nothing great … its just over hyped …

i liked ‘IT’ a lot … especially the movie …

and decided I had to read the book…now I have two copies and am just waiting for the right time to read it. There’s a little motel up in the mountains – we were there last Oct the weekend before it closed for the season. Maybe I can go back and read it there this year – it would be the perfect creepy way to read the book if I’m brave enough.

I like King and this book completely blew my mind, I loved it. I think it’s worth a read for sure.

It’s by Stephen King. It’s a very psychologically complex book—I think I get more out of it each time I read it. And if you’re going to watch the movie, I’d recommend the TV miniseries; I think it better represents the atmosphere of the book.

Has anyone read this book? Who wrote it and is it any good? I don’t really have access to the movie so i’m settling for the book as I did with the Exorcist. Hopefully it’s just as good?
