i don't know if anyone answered the original question yet, but i read hearts in atlantis and i vaguely remember it. it starts out with these childhood friends in elementary school or something. the next story is the actually hearts in atlantis and it's about college during the vietnam war, where those on scholarships have to maintain a passing gpa. the connection to the firststory is that the protagonist (i think) begins to go out with the girl from the first story. third story i've completely forgot, 4th has some kind of resolution. even though i can't remember it, i remember it being pretty good. the whole dark tower connection in the first story was kinda weak, especially cuz i never liked dark tower. but the second story is really really good. there's no horrrr stuff or whatever, but it's really very good.
the weird thing is that they released the movie, hearts in atlantis. and it was only connected to the first story, which wasn't even hearts in atlantis, it was tall men in dark suits or something like that.
