Yes, I've seen the movie The Shawshank Redemption! Excellent read in its original form of: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, too!!! Even if it was only one of his 'short stories'.
If you liked that, then you MUST read The Green Mile! What a moving and gripping story!!! He really doesn't do JUST horror! The man is truly a master of the macabre! I have EVERY book he's ever written. (Can you tell I'm a fan???)  I've ready everything I can get my hands on that he's written and have rarely been disappointed. When I HAVE been disappointed, it's because he only wrote a short story where I wanted to read a whole book!  Also - to Clive Barker, I must admit that I haven't read anything of his (that I remember), but I do watch most of his movies. And I read on a myriad of subjects, too. Just about anything I can get my hands on is fair game. I've got horror, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, not too much on romance or westerns - depends on the story. I've got complete sets of authors such as Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Stephen King, Tolkein, Anne McCaffrey, Ann Rice, Katherine Kerr, Jean M. Auel, Peter Straub, Dean Koontz, Robert Jordan, David Eddings, Terry Goodkind, Margaret Weis/Tracy Hickman, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, The Iliad & The Odyssey, Beowulf (in Olde English as well as Middle English...my library is ENORMOUS! (can you tell I like to read?) ------------------   The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) Owner/operator of the Evil Petting Zoo and devout member of the HADB clan. Commander of the Dragon Fleet, IW Peacekeeping Force Honored to be a member of the Illuminati - may the Light shine forever! Mage extraordinair.

Let's see, I'm completely with you on the Tolkien, also Shakespeare. Quite like Anne McCaffrey, (Fljots like Auel, find it a bit slow personally), then there's Zindell (who is my sci fi god), Zelazny, William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, Neal Stephenson, Douglas Adams, Sheri Tepper (if you haven't read any, go get Six Moons Dance or The Gate to Womens' Country, - awesome), Joanna Russ, Frank Herbert, Pad Cadigan, EE Doc Smith (purile North America rules the universe space opera stuff - hysterically funny, I know them off by heart)..... well, that's a few. Currently reading Beauty, by Sheri Tepper. Thought provoking, very.... Well, she always is.... And a brilliant and enjoyable writer also. Oh yes, Robin Hobb!

Hello! Shouldn't some of this go into the poem thread? Or the books forum?
And, Silver Cheetah... *sniff* I have to get all my wisdom teeth pulled soon. I'd almost forgotten. ------------------  Kazara Sapphire Dragoness of ALSB Waitress at Cloudy's Cafe Guardian of the Temple of Aerie (specialized in GenCon and BG) |

From the time he gave me the first shot of novacaine to the time he pulled out the last tooth - 20 minutes. You're even luckier if you get to 'go to sleep' during the process like my Mom did when she was about 17. She REALLY doesn't like needles, so the had to anesthetize her. I had mine out two days before Thanksgiving, still cooked the entire meal for my parents, etc. AND managed to eat Thanksgiving dinner! (Very small bites of only the 'soft' stuff, but I ate!) Then, I had pain for, maybe a week, but they prescribed me some really nice Naproxin (very strong ibuprofen, I think). That made me just not care too much if I hurt or not! You'll do fine. It'll be OK, I'm sure. ------------------ The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) Owner/operator of the Evil Petting Zoo and devout member of the HADB clan.

Thanx DragonMage! I'm rather nervous because my brother had his out about a year ago and he felt really awful for days - couldn't go to school, cheek swollen to twice the normal size,...
BTW, the poem thread is titled: Tears' Fountain, Sanctuary III. ------------------ Kazara Sapphire Dragoness of ALSB Waitress at Cloudy's Cafe Guardian of the Temple of Aerie (specialized in GenCon and BG) |

Also, re Tears' Fountain...I agree some of these need to be entered over there. We need to also continue to make up some more such as this thread was originally intended for. I think we've run the gambit of topics here! But it's so much FUN!------------------ The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) Owner/operator of the Evil Petting Zoo and devout member of the HADB clan.

Heya Kaz! I wrote you a reply to the above, with a bit of a horror story about wisdom teeth extraction, but I lost it in the wilds of cyberspace. Guess it's roaming around looking for a friendly home right now, hope it doesn't mutate into a virus or a trojan horse, and start making a nuisance of itself..... But don't worry! Most people have very good experiences of wisdom teeth coming out (well, when I say 'good', I mean quite tolerable). Not everybody goes through hell with two people pulling on their tooth (one around the waist of the other......) I will stop it right there..... I think...PS How old are you Kaz?

I don't mind, if you search long enough you'll find a few threads where I said how old I was, anyway. I'm 15 (teenage is the best age
not that I've had experience with many others )------------------ Kazara Sapphire Dragoness of ALSB Waitress at Cloudy's Cafe Guardian of the Temple of Aerie (specialized in GenCon and BG) |
