Before we get into the somber news Chris from Australia had a great idea, to open up a communal spreadsheet for King Reading Lists. That way you can compare your progress to Me or Peter or any other listener. One note, please be kind and don’t fiddle with stuff outside your column though that goes without say. Check that out HERE. Just enter your name on row 1 of a given column and check the ones you have read and the sheet should do the rest.

If you wanted to engage the show on Doctor Sleep (just because we talked about it doesn’t mean you can’t on future episodes) these are the questions I used for our discussion on Round Table 81. Feel Free to use some or all of these, or just send your thoughts.

Overall thoughts on Doctor Sleep?

What is your feeling on Kubrick’s film coming into this?

Did your feelings change towards The Shining after seeing this?

Your thoughts Doctor Sleep book vs film?

What did you think of the casting?

There is a scene Mike Flanagan talked about in that clip that sold King on his version of the story. Any guesses which one it was? 

What did you think of the re-castings of the classic characters? 

Thoughts on Abra

Thoughts on Rose the Hat? 

 How do you view Mike now that you have seen this along with Gerald’s Game? 

 Without going through and re-litigating your actual list, knee-jerk reaction is this top 10 material for adaptations for you? 

 If it is on your list we talking 7-10 range or 4-6 or 1-3 range? 

 We talked about Mike working with King again, let’s say you have ultimate say, you can give him any project that is King related, what do you give him?
