Thinner by Richard Bachman

For my horror month, I was going to instead read The Running Man, but I found this one on paperback, and you've already been informed about my spending time outside with the sun limiting my ebook hours. Thinner was a good read, though. In Stephen King (Richard Bachman) fashion, our hero gets a curse and it keeps getting worse. I told myself I'd be surprised if they made a movie of this, and I was surprised to find out it had been done. I don't really expect it to be good, so I don't intend to be disappointed unless all of the characters are lacking in the severe New England accent which I affect to all of King's characters.

But. Should you read Thinner? Sure. It's scary; not as scary as Misery, but still a lot of fun.
