THE EXPERIENCE
Welcome to Movie Book Club—for anyone who loves movies, books, or simply having opinions about both. Hosted by author Margaret Malone, each session invites you to watch a literary adaptation and then stick around for a warm, lively, and lightly irreverent post-screening conversation. Bring your thoughts, your questions, your favorite passages, and your spiciest hot takes.
Read the book if you want, or just show up for the movie! Either way, you’ll leave with new ideas, new questions, and maybe a new favorite character to lovingly overanalyze.
This edition of MOVIE BOOK CLUB features Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.
ON SCREEN: The Shining
1980. Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Runtime: 2 hrs 23 min. Rated R.
Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren’t prepared for the madness that lurks within.
