i came across this other SK thread, about his worst book. got me to thinking - i generally loathe and don't watch ANY movie that's based on SK's books. sure, i saw The Shining but didn't like it. Misery. yuck. Shawshank. passable. i'm sure a few have been ok, but for the most part the movie-versions don't excite me.

so, are there any BOOKS of his that are NOT horror/slasher/macabre garbage? i once physically drove through northern Maine on my way from PEI to Ontario, and Jesus H. Christ i couldn't wait to get the hell out of there! crossing the border into Quebec (i hate Quebecers, mostly for their "distinct society" and "language police") was such a relief.

so, yeah. any SK book that isn't a "SK" book?
