now i'm more confused about which book should i buy...
thank you all for the advices by the way.

(Maybe somebody could start a poll on the best Stephen King's book)

Maybe someone should although he has wrote so many books it would be hard to narrow down to 10 or so choices.
Mine would certainly be Salem's Lot I would recommend that to anyone.

The Shining

yeah thats a great one and I love the film great casting having Jack in it.

The book is more detailed than the Kubrick movie, but Jack is just incredible... i love it

The 1997 TV Version has a lot of this details... but the actors do not convince, mainly Steven Webber as Jack Torrance... ...crap

But how should he compared to Jack Nicholson ??? Impossible !!

The tv version are generally very below par but I did enjoy the tv remake of Salem's Lot not as scary as the original but it certain had a different edge to it.

Shining seemed to me lil'bit boring but still very good.

The Stand is the perfect choice. Very epic thing.

The last couple of summers I have been reading a bunch of Clive Cussler books. Sometimes they drag a bit, but a lot of action.
I just read "The Chase". A bit slow in the beginning, but really got good about half way through.

When I am not reading classic American literature for college, I try to read as many books as possible about American Football.
Im currently reading "A Few Seconds of Panic" by Stephen Fatsis, a journalist who joins the Denver Broncos as a kicker during 2006 training camp, a magnificent book giving a great description of life from a player perspective.

Up next are "Blindsided, Why the left tackle is overrated" by K.C. Joyner and "The Draft" by Pete Williams, 2 books I bought during my last trip to the U.S.

One of my favourite classics that I read last year was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Great novel.

Right now for the thousandth time I am reading "The Night Of Wishes" by Michael Ende, the author you all know from his most famous book/movie "The Neverending Story" - but I find that The Night Of Wishes is his true Master Creation. Try it, its awesome!!!!!!

I copy and paste an amazon customer review here, because it exactly expresses my thoughts about this book:

I love this story both for its uniqueness and darkness. Everything about it is infinitely creative and original, from the thumb-striking clock that marks the passage of time with an "ouch" instead of the same old "cuckoo," to the fantastically twisted characters. However, this is not really a book for children. I think it is best read by adults, (or mature younger readers!) The story involves two wicked individuals working for the Devil Himself to destroy the world. There is still hope though, in two raggedy animals who have just one night to foil their masters' plans! For an extra fun experience, I suggest you read this book in real time. It takes place in the course of that single evening, and there is even a clock every few pages to let you know how much time remains! If you crave dark stuff, or just enjoy really original stories, you'll fall in love with THE NIGHT OF WISHES!

Sounds good Peter, I must order it.

I finished Harry Potter #4 two nights ago, and said I wouldn't read another book for a week or two because I am so busy with a lot of different projects at the moment. But last night I started Paul Theroux's Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia and its simply amazing!! It makes me want to get out there and see the world so much.... So I decided to book flights to Madrid for the end of next month
