Really man. I have been a fan of Stephen King (A-die-hard-come-what-may-fan)
The last book of his I read was Different Seasons, it's an excellent book, no doubt about it. 4 Stories, all awesome. 3 of them adapted into Movies, out of which 2 were excellent while one not bad either.
The Body is all about friendship...it makes you feel all of your human aspects... Great one.

Yep..Stand by me was a brilliant book to movie adaptation.

Exactly
Which other adaptations you liked?

[Adam Denton]

Well, out of King's books ive only seen Cujo, Dreamcatcher, 1408, The Shawshank Redemption andI liked all of these..though Dreamcatcher was a pretty badly written book, the movie wasnt bad.

Dreamcatcher period was tough for King, you know the injury he sustained that nearly crippled him. So you can expect that. I haven't read it though.
Do watch Nightmares and Dreamscapes TV series, it was based on short stories by King. You'll like it.

I read it recently..i especially liked the Gingerbread girl. Some are a bit disturbing..but good.

Added: And i just finsihed "A thousand splendid suns" by Khalid Hosseini.. Id assumed i wouldnt like commerical realistic ficiton but it was a pretty good book.

I am halfway through it, and I am mesmerized by it

Angels and Demons: A rollercoaster ride. My head was literally spinning after i finished it. The setting of Vatican City coupled with Brown`s writing style made it a unique experience. One of Brown`s best books although it still doesn`t manage to eclipse the awesomeness of his masterpiece, "The Da Vinci Code".

The Lost Symbol: It posed more questions than it provided answers. And this time Langdon is involved personally, instead of being framed like before. I don`t want to give away any spoiler but there`s a REAL shocker 3/4 way down the book :8
Sadly, this book fell short of the expectations people had after the success of "The Da Vinci Code". Nonetheless like all of his previous books, you`ll find it hard to put this down before the ending. Mesmerising style of writing

My Rating of Dan Brown`s works

1.The Da Vinci Code
2.Angels and Demons
3.Deception Point
4.The Lost Symbol
5.Digital Fortress
