Mara Howarth | 2 comments Hello all, my name is Mariana and I'm originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2005 I moved to the UK, and since October last year I've lived in the Chicago area. I LOVE reading, I can sometimes read up to 3 books a week, especially if it's a page-turner (such as Stephen King's!). I love his writing and his sense of humour, he's brilliant! I've just finished The Regulators and started Desperation... Having a great time!!!! :-)

Jim Peterson | 10 comments Hi Newton, thanks for the friend request!

I had the feeling that the writing was particularly attractive in The Running Man, which he actually wrote before he published his first book (like most Bachman books). It makes me want to dig more into the early works.

Newton Newton | 2 comments Kings's first two short story offerings, Skeleton Crew and Night Shift, are fantastic. Check those out for sure if you haven't already.

message 572: by B (new)

B Hi guys, my name is Brooke. I adore Stephen King, I have read 18 of his books so far and my aim is to read them all.
When people ask what my favourite book by him is I could potentially write an essay length answer, rambling on about the good points of almost every one I've read. But I think the short answer is The Stand (Dayna Jurgens is my idol).
My current King challenge is finishing The Dark Tower series, but the next book I'm going to read will be Different Seasons (you gotta have a break right..? Maybe I'm just terrible at reading series').
In terms of other reading, at the moment I'm on a non-fiction kick (I'm always reading more than 3 books at a time it's bad I know) but I generally just read things people recommend me. I suppose science fiction and books that can make me cry would be my favourite "genres".
I'm excited about joining this group, I'd love to talk about Stephen King with people any time!

message 574: by Lanie (new)

Lanie (icevamp) | 145 comments Hi Brooke,

I'm currently re-reading the DT series. I've been lucky enough to have "grown up" reading King. Reading an old King book is like visiting an old friend. Enjoy and I look forward to your insights.

Nick Iuppa | 4272 comments Hey, Mary, welcome. It'll be interesting to see what you think of Dr. Sleep if you haven't read it yet. Not sure you should jump from one to the other, since it will be like having the old King and the new King slammed right into each other. But maybe....

Welcome, Aaron. Looking forward to your comments as we go along. Please join in with your opinions on all the books. We don't all agree on everything. That's what makes it interesting. But I'm sure everyone thinks that Misery is a great one.

Hi Gail! Welcome! :) I haven't read either of those yet. Salem's Lot will be my next King read. I can't believe I didn't read it years ago but I'm excited to start now.

Hello Kirstin, Thanks for the Reply. I have read THROTTLE in the Graphic Novel (COMIC), I enjoyed it. In my opinion NOS4A2 was Joe Hill's Best. Keep me in mind, Thanks. PAO.

Nate (the_enobee) | 80 comments Hello, All.

I have had a goodreads account for a few years now, but I was never that active until the last few months. Finally decided to look into groups, and of course the Stephen King Fans group was a must! I've been reading SK since I was 9 and he has always been one of my favorite authors - I've read all of his books. This looks like a great group and I look forward to a lot of enjoyable conversations. Thanks!

Thank you Malina, I think I will get lots of enjoyment out of this group!

Jamii (jamiilynnmarie) | 46 comments Hi, I'm Jamie, a new member to good reads, I found it like a week ago or something. I'm in love with this site. It's a nice way to organize my want to reads, as well as keep track of books I already own.
I think my love of Stephen king started when I was incredibly young I think I watched the movie It! When I was 5 or 6 and then later saw Rosered at the age of like 9, when it premiered on TV, it instantly became a favorite of mine! I think from then on I made it my mission to watch any movies/miniseries based in Stephen Kings works.
Somewhere along the way I started purchasing his books from a lady at the flea market and have been in book heaven ever since. My too be read pile is so large(filled with books of all genres and authors) it's hard to figure out what I want to read next sometimes, hopefully being apart of this group and having a monthly read will make that easier, and give me people to discuss the books I read with.
Wow I type almost as much as I talk, sorry, but thanks for having me,
