Did you ever get an idea for a book to read from another book?

I hadn't been paying that much attention to Stephen King in recent years as I haven't really enjoyed his recent writing, so I was reading another book and they were talking about his book Dr. Sleep which is apparently a sequel to the Shining. I don't even think I heard about this, at the time, or if I did I forgot about it. Did you ever get an idea for a book from another book, or read Dr. Sleep?

I haven't read Dr. Sleep, but I think there is a movie / serial on netflix about it.
I have, however, gotten an idea about another book from a book. Sometimes the books I read involve name drops for other authors.

Yeah, I saw it had been made into a film. I will look for it on NF. I started watching kind of a strange one last night..the Killing of a Sacred Deer..which sounded interesting and has Collin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in it. It has been pretty good..although odd.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I almost always just watch it at night when I am already in bed.

@snowy22315 I think it's on netflix, but I could be wrong.
I haven't watched netflix in a few days. Might do that sometime today, but only if I get off my lazy behind and get a few things done that needs doing.

Yes, she mentions quite a few books and novels in this, but most of them she doesn't seem to have a high opinion of, Not that she necessarily does of Doctor Sleep, but others in the book seem to like it. By the way, I am reading "YOU" which I know you are also a fan of...it's a little raunchy..but fairly entertaining.

@snowy22315 I only saw it on TV. I'm sure the book is much raunchier. lol

They were just talking today about an author who includes a lot of books in her book. I might read her just to see the books she includes.

@amitkokiladitya It is fun when they talk about books and give their opinion about books.

@snowy22315 I never read about new books and pages about it that they add in the new book

I didn't read Dr. Sleep, and I can't even remember if one book inspired me to read another, I don't think so

I might read something by Julia Alvarez because apparently she talks about books alot in her writing.

@snowy22315 In that case, I would probably be inspired by another book

Mostly, when I read a good book I want to read another book by the same author

Haven't even heard of Dr Sleep but I haven't read King in awhile. I think the last book I read by him was Mr Mercedes.
I like authors who keep characters in books they write so I'm already familiar with them.

It has good reviews. I think I will read it soon, but will watch the NF version first.

I have read several Stephen King books, I like science fiction books of course within some normal limits hahaha but really if when you read a book that has similarity or brings up stories that resemble another theme of a book I tend to look for it and read it.
