    all three are staples, usually required reading in high school. always worth a re-read, too. ^.^

    Yes indeed lol - I am doing of mice and men for gcse at school and the others (only rly Lord of the Flies) took my interest but worth a read too :)

    I am also a fan of steven king - want to read Cell and have read a few of his short stories eg. The man in a black suit; good book imo.

    Another book i thought was quite good was Tree of Night by Truman Capote.

    Just finished that one ^ ^ ^ recently.

    Cool, I will be getting Cell then. Could do with a good read; something to inspire me (coursework essay is to wrtie a gothic/thriller story)

    And um i am not sure about the film. Will have a look.

    Edit: Ah yes,
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379725/
    Would make for pretty scary watching if they have made a good version of the book!
