The Shining Sequel

Post by Vraith »

Heh...did folk know about this??

Doctor Sleep

Anyone care?
Anyone think [or hope] it will be really good?

I do, in a mild way...mostly because I quite liked the first one [though it's been a long time, wonder if I'd still like it?]

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

I'd heard there was a sequel contemplated... didn't know he'd actually written it yet.

The last couple King books have been pretty good, after a long drought. Hopefully this one will be :)

I had heard about it being written but I don't keep up with modern literature so I wasn't aware that it had already been published and available. I guess I will have to track this one down but probably after I finish The Last Dark. hrm....TLD and Wasteland 2 both are due in October--I am going to have a busy fall, it seems.

First I heard about it.

Hmmm...I'll probably read it if I come across it, but not too worried.

He stole the bit about the cat from real life btw.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
