Welcome Rita and Alisha

[Brenda]

Hi,

My name is Brenda. I've been reading Stephen King off and on since I was about 15. I've yet to be a hardcore Stephen King reader but I've read quite a few. My favorite SK book is The Shining with IT a close second. I think The Stand is overrated but perhaps I need to re-read it. I read it almost 20 years ago and now that I'm older I may or may not feel differently. Then again, the majority of the SK books I've read I did so long ago. The most recent one I read was The Dead Zone and I listened to the audiobook version of IT--LOVED IT being read by Steven Weber. Hoping to start The Gunslinger Series later this year. So yeah, hi! :)

Welcome Brenda! While I almost always love King's stuff I often find I feel differently about it depending on when I read it. Some of his I've read 10 or 12 times and I always notice and or feel different things.

You should give The Stand another try. I'd also suggest the complete and uncut if you are willing to invest the time.

Welcome, Nicholas. W & G is one of the best... I think, though not every one agrees.

Nicholas wrote: "So far the Drawing of Three is my favorite though Wizard & Glass is getting pretty good where I'm at right now."

I liked the drawing of the three too. But W & G is relentless.

[Erin]

Welcome Nicholas

Personally, I'm glad I read in the order they were published, so think it would be better to read Wind last.

Hi Kandice,

I bought the audiobook version of it not too long ago. I'm pretty sure it's the complete and uncut version though I'll make sure before I start listening to it. I told myself I'll give it another try now that I'm an adult and have some life experience behind me. That may help. Thanks! :)

[Dave]

Hi,
I'm Dave. I like NASCAR and Meerkats. I am on my second reading of the Dark Tower series, and so I searched for a discussion group on Goodreads and found this one. I'm the Founder and Headmaster of a private high school in CA. Somehow I finally got sucked into King's books about 8 years ago. I knew him by the movies, but I had no idea the writing was so much better. I'm a voracious nighttime reader, so King was the perfect addition to my library.

[Ron]

Hi I'm Ron. Long time King fan...It started with Cujo in highschool, and of course it just continued. How could it not? I live in IL. The most recent Stephen King book I read was Sleep Doctor, and it did not disappoint. I'd say my favorite was IT.

[Erin]

Welcome Ron

Hey Erin! Glad to be here.

[Stacy]

Hello Fellow King fans!
I have been transferring my entire written book journal onto Goodreads and came across this group.I have been reading King for about 30 years which has given me lots of time to read all his stuff! While I impatiently await new books I have started a reread journey and am currently on Danse Macabre.I had the great pleasure of attending the Revival signing here in Maine and even more recently the Finders Keepers signing in Bridgton.Top ten best days ever! I look forward to connecting with other fans and will try ti keep up but am in a few other King groups too......so much to do,so little time.

Hi Stacy. How do you like Danse Macabre? I've never read it.

[Kandice]

Hi Stacy! I think Danse Macabre is a strangely skipped book by him. I love it and refer to it often because I love old movies.

Hi im Lisa from down under Australia have just found AStephen just read The Shining & Doctor Sleep i am hooked have 3 cats love books the water Thredbo & doing luch

[Matthew]

Howdy I am Matthew, 34 from California. I joined GoodReads earlier this year. I watched a lot of movie adaptions of King's work as a kid, but didn't really read much of his stuff until I was an adult. Pet Sematary is my favorite book of his and is by far his scariest. That's just my humble opinion though. I've probably read more books by King than any other author. Anyway hello everyone!

[Brenda]

Hi Matthew! You're the first person I know who actually likes Santa Ana winds :)
Welcome.

[Lena]

Hi! My name is Lena and I'm a reemerging King fan. Some of my urban fantasy friends and I started reading one King a month and I love it! I hope to find more fun filled King folk!

Hello. My name is Melvin Rivers. I have been a Stephen King fan for many years. He's the reason I began writing in the first place.

[Erin]

Welcome Lena and Melvin.

Thank you Erin

[Erin]

You're welcome!

[Kenneth]

Welcome Lena and Melvin. What are your favorite King stories?

[Elaine]

Hello, My name is Elaine, I go by Eee. I've been a King fan since I was about 12 years old, when my mother first handed me a copy of The Stand because she didn't think she could finish such a big book. I think if I had to list my Favorite King stories they would be as follows:
1) The Stand
2) The Dark Tower series
3) The Dark Half
4) Needful Things
5) In the Eyes of the Dragon

I mean I could list books all day, but I think this makes a pretty good starter list.

[Erin]

Welcome Elaine

[Lori]

Greetings! My name is Lori. I have been reading SK since about 4th grade when I picked up The Eyes of the Dragon. I have been reading him ever since. I have truly enjoyed every book I have read by him, but I am especially fond of The Dark Tower series. This is one of my all-time favorite series that I have ever read and there have been many. Along with this book, I really loved It, The Stand, and Needful Things along with a myriad of other titles. I have been a huge fan of SK and will continue to read him for years to come. This group sounds like it will be fun and interesting.

Thanks, Kandice! Yes, I do enjoy the long ones, but some of the short ones have been fun as well. I'm glad to be in the group. Thanks!

Different Seasons is my first and favorite King.

[Angelo]

Hi everyone,

I'm Angelo and I've been a Stephen King fan for, oooh, I'd say about a hundred years now.

(Yeah, I look younger in my photo. Good genes, I guess.)

The Stand, The Shining and Misery are probably my favourite SK novels, and the ones I've read over and over again.

Nice to meet you all, and I look forward to having some fun Stephen King conversations!

:-)

[Paul]

Hi everyone! My name's Paul and Stephen King is my favourite writer. I've been hooked since I first read my mum's copy of 'Skeleton Crew' back in 1985 (I would have been nine or ten, depending on the month I read it in).

My favourite King books are 'The Stand', 'It', 'The Dark Half', 'Hearts In Atlantis', 'From A Buick 8' and 'Lisey's Story' (not necessarily in that order). I'd include 'The Talisman' but that kind of sits in a different category due to being co-written by Peter Straub.

My favourite King short story is 'The Mist' (possibly because it was the first one I read, all those years ago).

I've read everything Mr. King has published and am eagerly awaiting his next book so I can 'light out for the territories' once again.

[Kenneth]

Welcome to the group, Angelo and Paul.

[Kandice]

Welcome everyone!

[Erin]

Welcome Paul

[Paul]

Thank you for the kind welcomes, folks!

[Elisa]

Hi, i'm Elisa and I'm from Rome. Today I found this website and I fell in love with this. I'm a big fan of Stephen King but I also like read new authors' books, but King's thriller and horror are the best. I'd like to know new people who like this writer but also know new people. The first King's book I've read is Misery and since that I loved him and his books.
