We've done the movie thread. Time for the Book thread.

...here's some recs from when I was on a tear.

1) Stephen King/The Stand--Indeed, this is his best. I also recommend It, The Shining, Needful Things, and Night Shift (his first collection of short stories).

2) Dean Koontz/The Watchers--A fantastic book. The movie from the 80's does not compare. A good second choice is Phantoms.

3) Michael Crichton/Jurassic Park--Another fantastic book. The movie from the 90's does not compare.

4) John W. Campbell Jr./Who Goes There?--The novella upon which the movie The Thing was based. The Carpenter flick is much truer to the story than Howard Hawk's version.
