The Shining, Stephen King.

He slouched out, a small boy in pajama bottoms with feet and a large flannel top with a football on the front and NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS written on the back.

Jack's typewriter stopped, and she heard Danny's hearty smack. "Night, Daddy."

"Goodnight, doc."

Stephen King FTW!

I just started reading this today! Besides "1408", this is my first classic Stephen King. I think the only other book of his I've read is The Green Mile, which I enjoyed.

Oooh, I LOVED the Shining. It's not the best I've ever read, but it's SO COOL!!! XD Gotta love a well done creepy atmosphere.

I recomend "It" later on, if you wanna stay with Stephen King for a while.

I'm about 100 pages into The Shining right now and really enjoying it. It's interesting to read it after seeing the movie so many times.

Ooh, we even have a copy of It. One of those covers that used to freak me out when I was little. That, and the cover for Cujo. (The third one from the left here (http://www.stephenkingshop.com/covers/Cujo.htm). My little kid brain interpreted it as a REALLY SCARY alien with a thin neck.)
