All the Time in the World
My taste in reading material is wide and varied: SF/fantasy/"speculative fiction", mysteries (police procedurals, mostly), history, fanfic, straight fiction, smutty vampire books, biographies, poetry, cereal boxes, assembly instructions, the fine print, and your mind.
Carrie
I've always found it interesting that aside from Carrie, most of the successful movie adaptations of Stephen King's writings have been the non-horror stuff - "The Body" (Stand By Me) and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" (The Shawshank Redemption) are the two that particularly come to mind. For that matter, I don't know that Brian di Palma has directed anything as good as Carrie in the 30-plus years since.What really rang true for me was the cruelty of Carrie White's classmates - the shower scene, and the disastrous plot to humiliate her on prom night.
Still one of his best.
