SC, I'll write down those sci-fi authors to look for at the bookstore whenever I go - thanks.

I don't have a copy of The Green Mile, but I've also never seen the movie! I really need to watch and read it.

SB, I think my friend said she has The Stand, so maybe I can someday borrow that from her, or otherwise just pick it up at the bookstore. And then it can be added in with the five or six other books of his that are waiting to be read!
