The butcher knows about Kookaburras? Just how much does the butcher know?
Although I am curious about how film makers turn a book into a film, I still think I get far more from reading the books. I wonder how film makers will render some sceens or create some effect, if it will be convincing or not. While reading, with a good imagination, I think I've done pretty well, filling in where Stephen King left off.
Sometimes he may have done too well, & not left enough for the reader to imagine.
But when he was describing something of the real world, like anything to do with cars, because I know next to nothing about cars, I was glad of detailed description.
Same goes for an essay he wrote about baseball, his kid's baseball team & game. Enjoyable as it was to listen to, I wondered, did I really need to learn so much about baseball?
I've reread his books, sometimes. Leave them for a year, & it doesn't matter that I have read them several times before, in print, & for a few decades now, as audiobooks, I know I will 'forget' & it will be kind of like hearing them for the first time.
Of the books by Stephen King, were there any you particularly liked?
