The Shininng - Stephen King

The Shining is a 1977 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The title was inspired by the John Lennon song "Instant Karma!", which contained the line "We all shine on…". It was King’s third published novel, and first hardback bestseller, and the success of the book firmly established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre. A film based upon the book, The Shining directed by  my favourite director, Stanley Kubrick, was released in 1980. The book was later adapted into a television mini-series in 1997.

The book is dedicated to King’s son, Joseph: "This is for Joe Hill King, who shines on."

PD:Maybe you remember a parody of this novel in "The Simpsons".

It - Stephen King

It is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The story follows the exploits of seven children as they are terrorized by an eponymous inter-dimensional predatory life-form that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself whilst hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of "Bob Gray" a.k.a. "Pennywise the Dancing Clown," described by characters who see It as resembling a combination of Bozo, Clarabell and Ronald McDonald, in order to attract its preferred prey of young children, though it occasionally feeds on adults. The novel is told through narratives alternating between two time periods, which is largely told in a third-person omniscient view. It deals with themes which would eventually become King staples: the power of memory, childhood trauma, and the ugliness lurking beneath a façade of traditional small-town values. The novel won the British Fantasy Award in 1987, and received nominations for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards that same year. Publishers Weekly listed It as the best-selling book in America in 1986.

Guns N' Roses

Guns N’ Roses is one of the best hard rock bands in the history. The band formed in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1985. Led by the singer Axl Rose and the guitarrist Slash,the band has released five studio albums (Appetite for Destruction, GNR Lies, Use Your Illusion I and II and The Spaghetti Incident), three EPs, and one live album, selling 110 millions of albums over the world

The original group was formed by Axl Rose(singer), Slash(lead guitarrist), Duff McKagan(bassist), Izzy Stradlin(rhythm giutarrist) and Steven Adler(drummer). Izzy and Adler were replaced by Gilby Crake and Matt Sorum because they had problems with drugs. Between 1994 and 1996, Gilby Crake, Matt Sorum, Duff McKagan and Slash left from the band because the had problems with Axl Rose. Finally, Axl has formed a new band with the same name (but i think they aren’t Guns N Roses). Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum has ended up in Velvet Revolver.

Guns N’ Roses is my favourite group because I think they are the best hard rock band ever and because they was the first band of rock that I heard.
It is their best song(and my favourite song):

Illinois is an important transportation hub; the Port of Chicago connects the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River via the Illinois River.
