So, what has everyone read:

I've read (in order):

Firestarter
The Shining (My favorite)
Pet Sematary
IT
'Salem's Lot
The Stand
Bag of Bones
Dreamcatcher
Skeleton Crew
Desperation
The Regulators
The Colorado Kid
Lisey's Story


I loved Firestarter, The Shining, IT, Bag of Bones, Skeleton Crew, The Colorado Kid, and Lisey's Story. I was disappointed with The Stand, Desperation, and the Regulators, and Pet Sematary, but they were okay. I hated Dreamcatcher.

The Shining is AMAZING. But my favorite will still always be The Long Walk -- even though it's "Richard Bachman"~ ;D

Disappointed with The Stand? That's my all-time favorite by him. The Shining is also up there, as well as "The Body", which gave us the movie Stand By Me. Fun stuff.

Only read three:

The Stand
IT
The Shining

Enjoyed all three.

The Stand could stand to have the last 200 pages trimmed.
IT gets a little silly at the end.
The Shining is very solid all the way through.

I always stayed away from The Dark Tower series because I hate reading things that are unfinished. Maybe now I will check them out at some point...

I don't like it when King gets too heavily into religion.



Has anyone seen the previous for the 1408 movie? Looks interesting.

Okay, I'm reading Lisey's Story right now and it's absolutely amazing. O_O Why didn't I pick this book up when it came out?

The best part is that I've started saying smucking in place of the big bad f word (:o!) and BOOL has become a part of my everyday vocabulary. Also, bad-gunky.

SO GOOD. <3

Very good choice. I would save Desperation for last since it's the better of the two. Both are good, but Desperation is better. Which is silly, since I usually like Richard Bachman better. ; )

Then I will definitely take your advice when I get to those two! Thank you!

And in other news, I just finished the short story The Road Virus Heads North and I'm seriously creeped out. Really bad. D:

My favourites are Carrie and Misery. I just finished Misery today, actually. Both books scared the hell out of me. Next I'm reading Bag of Bones.
