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.
ABSOLUTELY!!
A suggestion - if you're gonna try out the sci-fi authors, try getting one of their short story books first. It'll act as an "introduction" to their styles and a little easier to choose a few stories you might like. I'm fairly sure they both have a "Best of..." short story collection available.
