Shining is a better book. The Grafton series is… fine… but largely disposable.

I haven’t read either, but my boyfriend loves Sue Grafton’s books so I read ‘A’ is for Alibi, and I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable time.

And King is an excellent storyteller. I loved his books as a kid but haven’t read The Shining.

Are there any other considerations? Are these genres or authors new to your group or continuing along a theme or pattern? What types of books do you like usually? Etc?

VanHalbgott OP ,

Just whatever I like that I can find.

Sur Grafton wrote a long mystery series that my local library has so I decided to read that.

I’ve not read ‘B’ is for Burger personally, but The Shining is one of the best novels I’ve ever read. I always used to think that Stephen King must have fundamentally misunderstood something to dislike the film as much as he does, or that it was simply a matter of the book always being better than the movie, but after reading it, I no longer have any confusion as to why he feels the way he does. I still love the movie, Kubrick was an artist, but it pales in comparison. I can’t recommend it enough.
