Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is the author of a successful series of romance novels about a character called Misery, who decides to take a more serious approach regarding his future novels. In my opinion Misery is one of the better adaptations of Stephen King's works and truly a movie that cannot be missed, especially for the genre fans.

Misery is without a doubt one of the finest movies of the 90's and one of the best movies in the thriller genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I’ve never lived a life without this level of discomfort or pain,” she explained.

A few years back I suffered a silly accident that had decidedly unsilly consequences in the form of a severely broken ankle. ![]() ![]() Reading Zero To One is sort of like taking a peek into the mind of one of the most successful multi-billionaire investors alive today.
