i am a huge stephen king fan! haven't read that many of his books, but i'm working on that. love most of the movies too.....but that doesn't belong in here i guess :)
so here are the books that i have read (hope i'm not forgetting any)

- firestarter (was the first stephen king book i ever read, it's been about 10 years
or more by now tho)

- needful things

- the dark half

- the girl who loved tom gordon (loved it!!)

- dreamcatcher (bought the movie as soon as it came out - horrible horrible!!!)

- from a buick 8

- Rose Madder ( liked it a lot!)

- the running man (another great book, horrible movie)

- 4 past midnight (includes the langoliers, secret window, the sun dog and the library police man)

- gerald's game

any suggestions which one i should tackle next?

stephen king is an awsome writer! his books are so grabbing i can barely put them down!

in needful things i thought the whole jumping around from one person to another, from the past to now, got a bit too confusing....but that is his style in most of the books....just found it a bit much in 'needful things'.

i always hear that "IT"was one of his best.

just in case anyone was wondering :D, i finished from a buick 8 a couple of nights ago. unfortunitly i have to say it was not my favourite. it started out pretty interesting but started to drag a bit......it wasn't till well halfway through the book that it actually grabbed me. the ending wasn't really my thing either, but the book wasn't bad still. how could it be? the king wrote it :D ! not my favourite, but it was a good read. had a very sad part in it too :( i liked all of the characters a lot!


next i'm reading "rose madder" (while i'm waiting for " a series of unfortunate events" to come in). i've never heard of "rose madder" before, but it sounded interesting :)

Oh I was gonna start a Stephen King thread, but I guess you beat me to it!! :D

I absolutely looooove Stephen King's books!! Here are the ones I have read:

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three
The Dark Tower III: The Wastelands
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla
The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah
The Eyes of the Dragon
Misery
Four Past Midnight (4 short stories)

And I recently bought "The Dead Zone", which is supposed to be reeeally good! I've heard that "It" was the best too, but I haven't read it or seen the movie. I want to though!!!

hey! i'm reading "four past midnight" at the moment! :lol: i just replied in your other thread :lol: . i only got done with the langoliers this morning and it was really good. but i had seen the movie many times before already and knew everything that was going to happen so that kinda took a bit out of it. if you ever want to watch a movie that is exactly like the book "the langoliers" would be the one! i was shocked how similar they were cause you don't expect that - especially with stephen king's novels. i have owned that movie for years now :)

i've been wanting to read the dark tower series forever but never started it. i once had the first one checked out from the library but returned it without reading it :ph43r: . i went through one of my lazy phases when i didn't read as much as usual. also with HP6 out soon i don't wanna start a new series.....but i guess it will keep me occupied while waiting for HP7 :D

i have seen the movie "it" plenty of times, but heard the book is much better! one of my favourite stephen king movies, too! that's probably the reason why i haven't read it yet. i like to read books where i don't know what's gonna happen already....and since i've seen the movie it kinda takes the suspense away :( . but it's still on my list :)

YAY! i started to believe noone reads his books on here :(. he's the MASTER!!

I know!!! Stephen King is suuuuch a genius!! And the Darktower novels are reeeally good!! I have wanted to see "It", but haven't gotten around to it yet. It's on my list, among a whole bunch of other ones. I really can't believe that like no one reads his books though!! :o

i looooove stephen king! i love everything he's written that i've read. sometimes it's hard for me to read his stuff at night because its so detailed.

Yeah I know what you mean!! :D I just finished "Song of Susannah" which is the 6th book in the Dark Tower series. It was sooo good! :D

Cant read his books at night huh? Think how Mainers feel. We do not walk the streets late at night unless we are into scaring ourselves and thats only for amusement that we do that. Yes all his books take place in Maine.

Just off the top of my head, I can name nine books that don't take place in Maine. The Shining takes place in Colorado; The Stand takes place all over the country--yes, some of it is in Maine, but more of it is in New York, and Las Vegas, and Boulder, CO. And finally, the entire Dark Tower series takes place in a parallel universe, save for the parts that take place in one manifestation of New York or another. Oh, well, there are those hundred or so pages--out of about 20,000--that take place in Maine.

I've been reading King since I was eight, and staying up nights to do it. I've read Carrie; 'Salem's Lot; The Shining; the Dead Zone; The Dark Half; The Stand; All of the Dark Tower novels (back when they were chapter installments in FMAM); Tommyknockers; Night Shift (story collection); It; Cujo; The Bachman Books (story collection); Misery; Delores Caiborne; Nightmares and Dreamscapes (collection); The Langoliers; Danse Macabre (nonfiction); Desparation; On Writing (nonfiction); Different Seasons (collection); Insomnia; 4 Past Midnight; Storm of the Century; Rose Madder; Hearts in Atlantis; Christine; Everything's Eventual (collection); Bag of Bones; Cell; and, most recently, Lisey's Story.
