Hi. My father collected Stephen King's books while in the marines overseas for entertainment and has recently passed them along to me (tubs upon tubs of them). His mother would purchase them, and send them to wherever he was in the world at that time. I am excited to dig into them as these have been around the world and back, and have been highly treasured by our family.

After I got out of the Navy, I realized that I had loads of SK books that were in surprisingly good condition (after having been carted around the world). That convinced me to collect and read the ones I did not have. Have fun with those tubs of books.
Greetings! New to the group and a new constant reader from Colorado! Wasn’t much of a reader through school years including college and decided to divorce from television and news so I picked up reading more for fun and have really enjoyed it! Decided to try my hand at reading some SK, I knew about some of his works like IT and Dreamcatcher, but had no idea how extensive his bibliography was. I really didn’t know where to start so I picked a book that sounded like it had an interesting premise and landed on Needful Things. Finished the book right at about two weeks and quite enjoyed it, I followed that up with Shawshank (loved the movie) and suddenly I have a shelf with about 20 SK book that I want to read lol. Currently reading IT and ‘salem’s Lot after just finishing the Gunslinger. Guess I’m hooked!
hello all! I'm a constant reader from Indiana. slowly been collecting all the stephen king hardcover books and I've read everything by him besides the dark tower. my first read was the shinning and I fell in love with his writing style. I love the characterization and small town feel. even though it isn't cozy at all. he's my comfort read. anyone can add me and we can talk books
Hello. Writing from hot and humid Florida. I have enjoyed Stephen King for many years and became a Tower Junkie. I’m here just in time for You Like it Darker. I saw somewhere there was going to be a group read. Where would I find that? Doesn’t look like it is posted under the Group Read topic. Anyway, glad to be here.
Welcome to all the new members! Please grab a virtual iced latte for all the reading adventures that await :-)

if its gonna be the june read that would actually be great because i, as a german, could read it with you (the books comr out slightly later, it comes out on the 30th may XD)
Hello, my name is Keedra and I fell in love with Stephen King at a young age. I had many of his hardbacks but they were destroyed which naturally, hurt my soul. If anyone is wanting to read Rage and has a kindle or kindle app, message me and I can send it to your kindle. I have the pdf version of that and don’t mind sharing as it gets hard to find. I need book friends so please don’t hesitate to add me. Happy reading!
@Keedra: Welcome! I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I know exactly what you mean and that's very kind of you :-)

Hi Radia. Welcome to Stephen King Fans! It is one of my absolute favourite King books. I discovered his books whilst living in Europe. The only English book I could find in a hurry was The Mist and I didn't know what to expect - it was so scary! It was so good! I was hooked!
I hope it's a similar experience for you too.
thanks ,I will take your experience into consideration

So I personally think if you wanna start reading a bunch of king books, the shining is a great start.
I agree. ⬆️. The Shining is a great start.
Pet Sematary is great. I only caught up with it last year and what a cracker it is.
The Shining and Pet Sematary: yes and yes. Definitely good ones to start with.
Hey fellow fans. I’m just getting in to Goodreads. I am very interested in talking about the books I’ve read and want to get other’s opinions and thoughts on them as well. As I poke around please be patient and I will try to be smart about where I go and what I post.
Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm Lara. I'm finishing up my last few years of high school and hoping to get into mortuary science. I've been reading Stephen King since I was way too young- probably why I'm so comfortable with such a morbid profession! My favorite of his is 'Carrie and I'm currently reading 'Salem's Lot.
@El: Welcome and very cool! LoL you have quite the profession, wow! Great picks, I love IT and Carrie! :-D
Hi everyone! I’m Natasha and I have been reading King ever since my Freshman year of high school. I’m in college now and have read 7 of his books thus far with my favorite being The Institute. I’ve used Goodreads for a few years but only recently found this group! Excited I found this page and I look forward to discussing King with you all!
Hi everyone! I'm Alex Zuza Izaguirre and I'm back in the group. So happy to be here and we can be friends in goodreads if you want:)

Along with King though I read a lot of other books. I've gotten back into being a bit of a bookworm like I was when I was a teen.
