I'm thinking of doing "The Shining" next maybe, knowing the film version a lot better, I feel it would be interesting to read it and make my mind up again how I really feel about both versions.
Also I have a copy of "Doctor Sleep" so I thought if I read that afterwards I would be able to compare his old and new works, then maybe grab some newer stuff if it inspires me.

I read
The Shining a few years ago about this time of year, maybe nearer October, and i absolutely loved it. I gained a whole new appreciation of it. It's so much better than the film. But, it also allowed me to appreciate the film more as well. A film i never really got on with, but i do now.
