4. Now you've piqued my interest in reading Dr. Sleep

I fell out of love with Stephen King several years ago for reasons I won't get into, but lately I've started reading him again. I can remember being transported by "The Shining" over 30 years ago when I first read it. Then the movie was sort of a disappointment, and King's books after that tended to get butchered by movie directors. Then I dropped King altogether probably in the late 1990's.

So I'm really behind and I'll probably never catch up, BUT the Dr. Sleep story interests me. It continues "The Shining" story and takes grown-up Danny in a new direction with the Overlook as a great setting. I'll be sure to avoid the movie of Dr. Sleep until after I've read the book however.
