[Steff]

Hi Nick thanks for the welcome. I read From a Buick 8 at a really weird point in my life where everything was changing and I hadn't picked up a King novel in a while. I guess that's realky the reason I like it, the book was a familiar place for me instead of the changing reality around me. And I really did like the character of Sandy. I admit that I personally don't think its King's best work but for some reason it just sticks out for me.

[Matt]

Hello! My name is Magdalena, and it looks like I have found the right place to hang. My first experience with King was watching It as a child. I scared me but it also made me love horror.

[Quint]

[Quint]

Hi I'm Anja. Obsessed with Stephen King's novels!!! Favorites include Pet Sematary and The Shining.

[Ally]

Hi, I'm Ally. I absolutely love Stephen King's books, though I have not had the pleasure of reading as many as I'd like. It's very difficult to find some of them that aren't printed by Signet, and it gets quite frustrating, because I don't want to read a book that has been stripped of many of its delicious details! So far, of what I've read, I have most enjoyed It and Cell.

[Kalvin]

Hello everyone. My name is Kyle, and I am a Stephen King addict. I have recently finished Doctor Sleep, and loved it. I am currently in production on a film adaptation of his short story Big Driver.

Can't get enough of the King.

Welcome Ally. For us readers here in the US that don't know, is this a big problem in Germany?

Welcome Kyle. I can say that I am green with envy that you get to work on a King adaptation. Care to tell us how that came about?

[Malina]

Welcome all new members! This is a great group.

@ Kyle, that is amazing, congratulations!

Hooray for Pet Sematary lovers. It is my favorite SK book and also one of my favorite books of all time! Christine is my personal 2nd favorite ;)

Thank you and absolutely! I applied for the Dollar Babies Film Program, which allows new filmmakers to option available titles to be used to produce short films. I was accepted in September and am currently working on the project. I'm really excited about it since I have been a lifelong fan of SK. It's a culmination of my two passions, filmmaking and Stephen King.

If you are interested in finding out more about the project there is a small production blog at www.theinfinitekey.com just click on the projects tab and Big Driver.

Thanks for asking!

He's certainly worth it,

[Dante]

Hi!! I'm Dante, I love Stephen King books!!! even I've read almost all his books

[Katie]

Hi everyone, I'm Katie from Minnesota! I was more or less a casual SK fan until a friend recommended I read the first book the Gunslinger series...and became hardcore obsessed with it :-) I'm so in love with that series and will definitely re-read it some day. Since then I've been trying to read as much SK as possible. I think my second favorite book has been The Stand. Which, thankfully, I started on a camping trip so I had a lot of free time to just plow through it...nothing worse than starting a suspense book when you don't have enough time to read!

[Risma]

Hi, Risma Here. Started to read Stephen King's books when a friend brought "It" to me.

Welcome Risma and make sure you thank your friend. Not only is It an amazing story, they've opened a door to a wonderful world for you.

Hi Katie. I live in San Francisco, but my sister lives in Northern Minn. I'm a big King fan too. But doesn't it bother you that he seldom sets his books in the snow... in the middle of winter. The only one I can think of like that is Christine. I'm with you on The Gunslinger and The Stand though. Great stuff.

[H]

The Shining,

[H]

Dream Catcher, The Dead Zone

[H]

Misery,

[H]

@Nick, I can't stop s thinking about ur gr8 tale, "Alicia's Ghost" is certainly a story worth reading.

[Shawn]

Hello everyone. My name is Shawn Lealos and Stephen King remains my all time favorite author. I started reading him in my teens (back around '88 or '89) and I am actually a Stephen King dollar baby filmmaker (I Know What You Need, contract received in 1999 movie finished in 2005).

I am reading Doctor Sleep right now for the first time.

Ha - yes. The Shining! That's set in the winter! But truly, getting stuck in the snow can be enough to drive one crazy :-)

Thanks Holly. That's about the highest compliment you can pay to a writer. Of King's books I think W & G stayed with me the longest. Took me weeks to get over it. Felt that way about 11/22/63 too.

[Marie]

Hi, my name is Marie & I read my first Stephen King book in 1976, Carrie, and fell in love. Have been reading Stephen King books now as soon as they come out & am always itching for the next one. Maybe it's time for me to begin re-visiting my old friends over again. I am a voracious reader & have to have 2 or 3 books going on at the same time.

[Nick]

Welcome Marie. So, when you start revisiting your old friends... soon I hope, where are you going to start?

[Marie]

I think I will start out with Carrie & work my way through again. Sounds fun!

[Aoife]

Hi! My name is Aoife, i'm from Ireland. I only joined about one week ago, the reason I joined is because I'm a very fussy reader. For years all I would read was Harry Potter now I've moved onto Stephen King. I'm kind of here for inspiration and advice on what to read next. Rowling and King seems to be the only authors who have captured my imagination and mesmerised me with their writing. I hope to find more authors who can do this.

[Kenneth]

Marie wrote: "I think I will start out with Carrie & work my way through again. Sounds fun!"

Welcome Marie. I went back a while ago and did the same thing. Although I enjoy all of King's work, I've found that I enjoy his earlier writing more.

[Kenneth]

Hi Aoife. If you're into Stephen King, you also might enjoy Robert R. McCammon, Joe Hill, Dean Koontz, Jonathan Maberry, Dan Simmons, Brian Keene, Kealan Patrick Burke, and Clive Barker. They are all very talented authors with a ton of great novels to choose from.

[Nick]

Marie wrote: "I think I will start out with Carrie & work my way through again. Sounds fun!"

Should be great. I've never read the books in order, though I have read them all. I think I may may try it too... soon.
