Welcome to Litsy!

The hubs and I are on a #stephenking movie kick 🤷🏻‍♀️ #losersclub #booktomovie

Audiobook. I‘ve seen the movie end multiple times - never whole thing. Just like the movie, I cried a few times. The written story here went off on different tandems that made it drag on a lot, to me. surprised a few times, hand over mouth freeze, moments. This book reminds that life isn‘t fair, even those whom done no bad and those who do good. That stinks, but that is life some times. I knew the ending and still wanted a different end.

This is probably one of my favorites by Stephen King. Some of the scenes in this book will stick in my head for the rest of my life and haunt me. This was such an excellent book and so underrated. I remember watching the movie when it came out and reading the book years ago but I am glad I revisited and read it again to remind myself of the story. Definitely one of my top favorites by him.

I did a Stephen King per month last year (although I got delayed and finished up in January).
Favourite: The Green Mile. Probably followed by Different Seasons.
Least favourite: If it Bleeds. I didn't dislike it, but it was the weakest and least memorable of the bunch.

Hi Daria @dariazeoli ! I'm looking forward to going through your list for #auldlangspine (we'd only doubled up on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo), so I'm excited to get started with these 5, which I already own.

I'm a bit wary of the tagged, however, as I don't read horror/King in general. Is there body/medical/hospital gore in it (or, in particular, eye surgery)? It's the one part of my body that I'm squeamish about & would rather not read.

I've never watched the film all the way through but this book captivated me, I could barely put it down.

John Coffey, like the drink but spelt differently, you may be fictional but to me, you are a legend.

I cried reading this, as always King reels both you mind and heart into his stories.

Date night movie…… #losersclub #greenmile

The first book that I thought of: Green Mile!

There's not much new to say about this book. It's incredible; everyone knows it. What I always reflect on when I read it is how hard the world is. We take the beautiful, special things we find - like John Coffey - and we grind them up in the sharp, cruel teeth of the world's ugliness and hate and spit them out. I will never not feel a deep sadness when finishing this book, nor a stronger urge to go out and preserve some goodness in the world. 5/5

Great book, classic Steve.

Possibly one of my fave King novels.

Wow.
I have put off reading this book for years. I worried it would ruin the film for me, it is my all time favourite movie. I can honestly say that Frank Darabont does the most beautiful Stephen King adaptations (Shawshank Redemption)
There are few fictional characters that touch your heart and stay with you quite like John Coffey.
I challenge anyone to read this and not cry. The film too, Michael Clarke Duncan not receiving an Oscar is criminal.

Such a great novel. This one really breaks your heart.

The last time I read this is back in the 90s when King first wrote them and they came out in small sections. I remember I couldn‘t wait for the next book to come out. #stephenking

Up next on audio! 🎧

Stephen King dà il meglio di sé in questo romanzo, che combina l'abituale crudezza con una certa delicatezza nel parlare di esseri umani. Il tema principale è la malvagità umana, coniugata nei modi più inaspettati. Recensione: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj2S3Awsrga/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Once upon a time The Green Mile was serialized in tiny little paperbacks. I have most of them but can now shelf the full story! ❤️ I‘m amassing a nice Stephen King collection. 😁

This book is dated and problematic. But it's also emotionally powerful and so compelling. It kept me up reading way past my bedtime on several nights, and that does not happen for me very often. One of King's best, I think.

Squeezing in a little reading before work this morning. I‘ve had this bashed-up old paperback for literally decades, but I‘m just now reading it. I like the $.75 price tag. 😂

One book? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or six? 🤷🏻‍♀️

MY TEENAGER WANTS BOOKS!!!!!!

I know he's probably not going to read them unless the power goes out. I know it's because he liked the movie and he has a massive collection fetish but he's 17 and reading has always been a struggle for him so I'm calling this a win!! Plus....it's King.

#ParentingWin

I love Stephen King. This one didn‘t disappoint either!

I completed my 2021 Goodreads goal of 45 books so I am happy with that 🙌 I read 34 physical books and 11 ebooks and I enjoyed all of them! My first read of 2021 was a reread of The Green Mile and my last read for the year was The Troop by Nick Cutter. My 2022 goals are to aim for 45 books again, go on a book buying ban for a few months and continue to read all the unread books on my shelves.

I READ A BOOK. Stephen King gets me out of any funk. Different than some of his other works, but really enjoyable still. His character writing is always very vivid for me. #wintergames #teamgamesleighers

In short, the movie was better.

That last handshake... (You know what I‘m talking about.)

Such a good book set on Death Row. #DeadManWalking #Book2MovieRecs

Continuing my trek into Stephen King‘s books. My library is pulling this one from the shelves because it‘s not getting checked out. #thegreenmile #stephenking #library

Puppy rarely stays still for very long, but we‘ve recently discovered that she loves the blanket on my lap. That being said, my only real goal is to finish the last 100 pages of The Green Mile, with her by my side. I‘m not usually one to reread books, but I might just do that with this book.

The Green Mile by Stephen King

Does anyone else try to match their bookmark to their book?This pretty floral card is too bright and cheery for this creepy book but, since it‘s not what I‘m usually into, I don‘t have anything that goes better with it. Maybe this is my own weird obsession. I‘m just wondering 🤷‍♀️

Decided to take the plunge and took my first Stephen King book from the Little Free Library a few blocks from my house. I might regret this decision 🤦‍♀️

I read the Green Mile series a long time ago (high school 😆) what made it special, was reading it with my mom at the same time. She introduced me to King and she is the reason I love reading.

An absolutely fantastic book which I loved! It is definitely not for the faint hearted, and is sure to bring you to tears and make you smile at times. I liked the descriptions (even if some made me feel a bit ill at times) and the characters. I loved the writing style as it's being told as an actual story. I loved how this book makes you question right and wrong, good and evil, and does not back down when it comes to perspectives.

"I'm tired of people bein ugly to each other."

I had the best time rereading this one with friends. I loved hearing everyone‘s thoughts on Coffey‘s motivations, Paul‘s fears, and the serialized novel style. It was hard to put down and heartbreaking in parts. #GreenMileAlong

This is the story of Paul Edgecombe, superintendent in a state penitentiary at Cold Mountain populated with inmates sentenced to death in an electric chair (Old Sparky). This is about what happened in 1932 during the execution of John Coffey.
Great book! Novel with some supernatural elements expected in Mr. King‘s novels, it describes correctional operations, institutionalized staff behavior, injustice and social issues. 4.3⭐️
