Lotsa years. There are several of his books, though, that have stayed with me: Misery (read in a day, on a drive back from the shore); Skeleton Key (with "The Mist"); Different Seasons (with "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption"); and The Stand. At the time I consumed it, I thought it was the greatest book EVER. I've since changed my mind (I now think John Kruk's I Ain't an Athlete, Lady ... is the greatest book EVER), but I must at some point go back and re-read it.<br><br>In the meantime, these Marvel collections will do ...<br><br>Thanks, Ken.<br><br>Rob<br>EightE1 Haven't read King in years.

Sometimes comic adaptations go a little too far for the single-cell scare (akin to the around-the-campfire "and it was a BLOODY HAND!"), but this one gets it just right.
