Interesting, my top ten would be a little different but it’s a fun read

Fun list to read! And. . . Leave Maximum Overdrive alone! Call it nostalgia, being an AC/DC fan, or just plain bad taste but I LOVE IT! Coke fueled Stephen King in the director's chair? Yes Please!
I probably would have tweaked a few things, but some of them I have not watched so I can't make a complete case. But all in all, I thought it was a good list.

Would have ranked Mr. Mercedes and Secret Windows higher but overall liked it. Oh, and Cat's Eyes waaaaay lower
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

I found this King comment interesting: “That doesn’t mean you’re going to have the occasional thing that’s just a train wreck like ‘Dreamcatcher,’ because that happens, right?”
When the film came out I remember King gushing non-stop about how much he liked it. Wonder what changed his mind or if he was just trying to promote the film.

Unpopular opinion: I actually enjoyed Dreamcatcher. I think about that movie often.
I'm not sure how good the movie could've been, based on that...book. Still, Morgan Freeman's eyebrows are a treat.
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
I liked the book quite a bit. Mr. Gray is probably one of my favorite King villains. I loved the whole bit with him being obsessed with bacon.
