From a Buick 8

Now I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.

The number one selling book was From a Buick 8 by Stephen King.

Top movie was The Ring.

A journalist, she investigates a videotape.

And it plays with it, which I really love.

I think, too, once we get to From a Buick 8, I feel like that's almost...

It's using a different device.

It's a car, right? But it also deals with bringing other creatures, otherworldly creatures into our world.

And From a Buick 8 is a very clear Dark Tower connection, and yeah, for me, just reinfor- yeah, I, I...

You know, it's funny 'cause I was gonna say it reinforces what this book is doing, but yeah, I don't know if King's ever fully said that they are definitely monsters from there.

But, I mean, even if when you meet some of those monsters in The Dark Tower, they feel an awful lot like these-

Mm-hmm

Those are the ones that do linger with you and ultimately mean something.

And that is what From a Buick 8 is, because you have this child who's trying to find meaning in whatever story he's being told with him, and he's not going to find it.

But what they do find is the sort of Schrodinger's cat in life that obviously has some supernatural dark tower connections to it.

But what I love about this, the Colorado kid and what King possibly, maybe, I don't know, I assume that's what he was getting at when he was tweeting about it with us is that, you know, the endings don't always, always matter because we don't always have endings.

And then Jen had it at 35 and Kav had it at 33.

So it's like a pretty steady showing.

And that's interesting when you put it against like Buick 8, where some, like Mike had this at 7, Buick 8.

And then I had it, and Kavri had Buick 8 at 9.
