For the Love of Stephen King

[crazychemgirl]

Truly is!
Do you like Rick and Morty, have you seen the episode?

I haven’t … I tried watching it but it wasn’t my thing

Ah shame. Still recommend the episode

 

[crazychemgirl]

And I’m finished … @sallysparrow23

It seems fitting I finished on page 19

 

[sallysparrow23]

I’m 50% …. Oh man… I can’t wait for you to get to where I am.

It's going to be awhile, I'm still on book three. I got distracted by a few good Neil Gaiman books.

Congratulations on finishing! I'll catch up eventually and then we can discuss, haha. I love that it ends on page 19.

This will make more sense later

Come on @sallysparrow23
I'm excited to see what you both thought about it. I'm saying nothing about my initial reaction until you're caught up

It must take on greater meaning toward the end then. I'm looking forward to it.

Haha FINE! I'm finishing my current reading distraction and then I'm loading it on to my Kindle.

Yay!!!

 

[sallysparrow23]

Okay, okay. Y'all were right that the third book starts getting really good. I'm in it to win it now.

Yes!

Just started Holly. So far, so good.

Let us know what you think when you finish. I had to put that one down. There were so many covid-19 mentions that I couldn't enjoy it.

 

[crazychemgirl]

Just arrived!!!! Eeeeeeee!

I’m reading it now too Nebs… and thinking of you

 

[crazychemgirl]

Almost 50% …. So far it’s really good .. not that I expected much different

 

[sallysparrow23]

I just began part two of book three of Dark Tower and it's so good. Thanks for encouraging me to keep going.

OK, I just finished Holly. I thought it was an enjoyable read, for the most part, but not quite up to Stephen King's lofty standards. It would suggest spending your time on other books, rather than this one. The list is long, and life is short, right?

Ditto. The only thing that kept me into it was the old couple's storyline.

Hi all.

So I came across a recent one called Later that I never knew existed. I may be wrong but it seems to be a novella.
Without having dug into it, I got the sense that it was something he wrote a while ago and maybe updated it.

Anyone read it? Thoughts?

Just started to re-read Needful Things, but I may put it on hold and do Salem's Lot first, which I don't think I've read.

Until next time....

 

[phil97405]

I love The Stand and The Shining, but Firestarter is also a favorite of mine. Especially, Tangerine Dream who did the score for the movie. ❤

The Stand is one of my all-time favorites. Tangerine Dream is a pretty great band (if that's even the right term), too.

I've never heard of Later . I just read the description and it sounds good. Looks like it came out in 2021. I remember reading Salem's Lot years ago and originally being skeptical of the plot, but, as usual, ended up loving it. Sounds like you've got a good lineup to keep you busy for a while!

Just read Later. I think you may be right. Seemed like something pulled from the vault. Classic Stephen King.

I enjoyed it as well …


I finished his latest collection of short stories.

Currently working through some of his older stuff that I read as a teenager…
Goal is to read every single one of his books.

The Talisman (as Bachman with Straub.)

saved my life as a kid facing epic evil.

 

[crazychemgirl]

I’m re-reading all of Stephen Kings books that I read as a teenager … so it’s mostly his oldest stuff … cuz some i just don’t remember… currently on Firestarter
