I love to read.  My favorite author is Stephen King.  Who is your favorite?
I love to read too and used to red Stephen King's books all the time!
My favorite King book is The Stand.  I also really love The Shining.  How about you?
I like his book "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" a lot.
Shawshank Redemption is a great book and the film rendition is good, as well. Usually his books do not translate well to the screen.
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is a novella by Stephen King from his 1982 collection "Different Seasons", subtitled "Hope Springs Eternal". It is loosely based on the Leo Tolstoy short story "God Sees the Truth, But Waits". It was adapted for the screen in 1994 as "The Shawshank Redemption", which was nominated for seven Academy Awards in 1994, including Best Picture. In 2009, it was adapted for the stage as the play "The Shawshank Redemption".

Stephen King named a handful of his fictional characters after Burton Hatlen, including the prison librarian in "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption", whom King named Brooks Hatlen.
