Another romance that I thought was amazing was the one between Roland-the protagonist of The Dark Tower saga-and Susan Delgado in Wizard & Glass.
I know a lot of people deride Stephen King for producing schlock, pulp horror masquerading as quality literature, but if any work dispels that misconception it's the fourth book of the DT, which is one of the most entrancing novels I've ever read, and by far the best work by King, with the possible exception of The Stand.
Not just the romance between Susan and a young Roland, but the entire story-his relationship with the other two members of his ka-tet, the fight to save Gilead, the betrayal of Olive Thorin, etc.-is extremely riveting.
Well, I guess you can tell I'm a Tower junkie by now.
Not much a fan of Harold Bloom, either.
:0)
Anyway, I thought I should just add that.
I haven't seen Wizard & Glass.
The Stand was good. And the one I laughed my head off was Night of the living dead, I thought it was the funniest movie of all times.
I like S. King.. and also like the movies made on his books. Remember Christine? Pet Semetary? Shawshank Redemption? Green mile? he normally has a cameo in his movies . fun to tryfind him.
Well As the senior participant here tonight I am bailing out shortly
