Yeah, the stand pwnz... though its the only King book I've read thus far.
|
I love all his earlier works and don't particularly care for his latest stuff, what he's published in the past 10 or so years.
What made King GREAT, was the possibility of belief that the story could actually happen...Cujo, Firestarter, Night Shift(short stories) and his other early works. hh |

I had to put the book down, down on the table and walk that one off. I get shivers just writing about it now, years later. :thepain3: |
Ooohhh! That's the same part that gets me!
I remember my sis and I rented the movie and rewound and replayed the "smackin' of the knee" several times, trying to get our mother to keep her eyes open to WATCH it. |
Can't watch that part of the movie. Don't need to since the image is already burned into my brain from the book.
Let's change the subject, shall we? |
No-one read 'The Turn of the Screw' ?

Yeah, I know some of the background of Dark Tower... the Walkin' Dude.
Man, I wish I could find the Walkin' Dude's pork button somewhere... |

Of the Dark Tower series, the 4th book has been the only book I've ever mourned finishing. I moped for several days before I could begin another book...and that isn't like me at all! I usually have a book or magazine going at all times, sometimes two books at once. |

I *think* that Insomnia is the only non-series book that ever explicitly refers to Roland. Quote:

I love reading. I will usually read a book in a day because I have to know what happens. Not really feasible with larger than 400 page books, but I finish those in two days. I use to read Steven King, loved Misery the best but I only read about half a dozen or so. Usually I read romance novels because they are easy and most of the time don't have sad things in them that would bring down my mood. Books are my escape from the real world and I want it to be a fun escape.
But I do love sci-fi books. Right now I am also reading Heinlein's The Cat That Walks Through Walls. I haven't gotten that far into it, but it seems interesting so far. I really enjoyed Stranger in a Strange Land. It is probably one of my favorites of all. I would much rather curl up with a book than watch T.V. anyday, but that is just me. :) |
Three books that as soon as I was done reading them I started over again right away: LITTLE WOMEN, CANDIDE, THE CORRECTIONS.
All awesome. |
