because House seems SO much like a Shining copy, and Pet Sematary has been recced by many of my friends, so I'm going to spend time on the yarn from one who's copied. And Pet is good - I started last night and I'm on page 50 already, which is pretty fast reading for me, but it's a good story that I don't get too distracted from, so it goes much more quickly than something like War And Peace or Moby Dick.
