I just watched this this past weekend, so there must be something in the ether. I used to be a big king reader / watcher but it has faded the last 20 years - apart from his movies, i do catch those- if you have not seen it, check out Storm of the Century - about the Shining, I think Kubrick's movie is a masterpiece myself - i have not read the book in a long time - but it is due for a reread, so going to give it go this week. I do enjoy his stuff -
