Today is Stephen King's birthday. He was born on this day in 1947. Think of all the books he's written and many made into movies. He did Hitchcock thing and would appear in some way in many of his movies. I admire his writing very much. What is your favorite book/movie? I have so many. Carrie(the original with Sissy), Pet Cemetery, and many more.

I'm not a big fan of his. I'm not generally into horror.

I love Stephen King. I have read Carrie and another book about a car that I forgot the title. My favorite movie of his is The Pet Cemetery.

I read Carrie once when I was in high school. I'd love to pick up a few of his books and read them.
