Introduce Yourself- part 2 Showing 3,001-3,050 of 5,604

Hi from Tasmania, Australia :-)
I used to read Stephen King years ago as a teenager, and I really don't know why I stopped. I'm just starting again, so I've joined this group, but I have so much ground to make up!

[mrbooks]

Hi Sabine and welcome to the site. We all take breaks even from our favorite authors. Ground to make up is the wrong way to look at it. Look at it in this way, look at all the new adventures you can have and experience, both new and renewed.

[Erin]

Welcome Sabine

Thanks mrbooks and Erin! I'm certainly looking forward to all the new adventures (so many books I haven't read) and to renewing some that I read years ago.

[mrbooks]

Like Bilbo says about the road out side your front door, books go ever, ever on we never finish reading.. Like a commercial I once saw Work eat sleep repeat. for me it's read eat read sleep repeat.

[Monique]

Hello everyone

I’m Monique new to Stephen king books I have readed the shining and dr sleep and cujo and sleeping beauties and it and under the dome and the stand so far

[mrbooks]

Hi and welcome Monique, It looks like you made a good start. Of the books you have read which would you say your favorite is?

[Monique]

My favorite is the stand the shining and dr sleep and under the dome and it

[mrbooks]

Yes I do love the stand and IT, I also love the Green Mile and Rita Hayward and the Shaw Shank Redemption Dolores Claiborne the Long walk. just to name a few lol.

[Monique]

Haven’t read the others yet I’m trying to figure out what to read next help me?

[mrbooks]

Why don't you loin one of the reading groups that are going on here. I am in two. The first is reading Stephen Kings book in chronological order. and the other is The dark Tower series.

As we are only just starting the Shining, you could try to play catch up by reading Carrie and Salem's Lot.

[Monique]

I have read Carr and Salem lot too

[Monique]

I have read 8 of Stephen King books so far

[mrbooks]

I've read all but 4 of them.

[Monique]

What should I read next?

[mrbooks]

Try the Green Mile I think you will like that. If you are into Dystopian then you could try The Long walk. Or you could try 11-22-63. A story built and based on the assassination of JFK.

[Monique]

I’ll try green mile

[mrbooks]

Cool I'm sure you love it let me know what you think when you are done.

[Monique]

I will reading it now

[mrbooks]

wow that was quick.

[Monique]

I love Stephen king

[mrbooks]

I have been a fan of His since very near the beginning. The first one I read was in 1979

[Monique]

I guess I’m last and old bc I didn’t find out about him until 2018 wow I’m slow huh

[mrbooks]

That's not the way to look at it. Look at it as you are starting a new adventure not everyone can know all the authors lucky and stumbled across him when he was just starting out. But I do have at least 20 years on you. Relax and enjoy the ride it is a fascinating one.

[Monique]

I’m enjoying every minute of it

[Monique]

Ty for helping me appreciate

[mrbooks]

No thanks necessary We are all fans of Sai King and will always help out another fan. OK I will anyway LOL.

[Monique]

[mrbooks]

No problem

[Monique]

I finished green mile and it was fantastic I loved it omg amazing I’m starting under the dome now

Wow, Mr. Books, you are steering her away from the horror stuff that she likes and toward more mystic and spiritual kinds of books. I would have recommended Duma Key and The Dead Zone, but hey, yours are good recommendations too.

[Nick]

Hey Monique, when you get a chance try The Ded Zone and Duma Key... and maybe Christine too.

[Monique]

Hey nick I read drop zone already I’m on under the dome and I got my duma key today in the mail I got my Christine on my audible

[Nick]

Great. I love the audio of Christine, and Duma Key is really highly regarded by everyone.

[Monique]

I’m reading under the dome on my iPhone and I’m reading rose madder first in the book

I'm a big fan of Rose Madder. It will be interesting to see what you think. I read about 50 books on my iPhone before I finally got an IPad. No problem.

[Monique]

I got a kindle fire tablet and iPhone so and I got the books on my shelf too lol

[Nick]

Monique wrote: "I got a kindle fire tablet and iPhone so and I got the books on my shelf too lol"

Right, I read all of king's books in paperback first so I have a complete collection, but for re-reads I'm going with e-books. Easier to sit there in the dark with just the light from the iPad.

[Monique]

I want a kindle white paper

[mrbooks]

Oh Monique that is sacrilege, Books only for me I will not soil my hands with a e-reader of any type. Yup I'm a traditionalist.

[mrbooks]

There is also the long walk and the Mist both excellent books.

Monique wrote: "I want a kindle white paper"

Me too! I have an old Kindle right now. mrbooks, you're right, in a way. When I buy books, I buy physical books. Nothing can beat a bookshelf filled with favorite books. But, when I use the library, I borrow ebooks, and they are sent to the kindle. It's much easier. I search online, they are downloaded and returned electronically. So, the best of both worlds. :)

2 of my favorites.

Watch the movie version of The Mist, really underrated and has a brilliant if divisive ending.

I read Under the Dome recently a week or two back, it was pretty good, a throwback to King classics. I am sure you will enjoy it.

[Monique]

aditya I am enjoying every minute of under the dome and now I’m reading rose madder it is wonderful too it some parts make me hurt and cry

When people join the group for the express purpose of beating their own drum they usually have the basic common sense and courtesy to offer an introduction before they start with the sales pitch.

I bought my first e-reader when I decided that it was too tiring to try to hold Under the Dome while reading in bed at night. I remember dropping it and smashing my nose then thinking "there has to be a better way!".

I lost my physical book collection in a fire in 2016 but upon purchasing a new Nook, there were all my favorites again. I have begun rebuilding my King collection along with a few other authors. There is something immediately comforting about entering a home filled with books. I will always enjoy seeing my favorites on my bookshelves but they are there to see, not read. I still collect certain authors but I duplicate their books by buying buying them in ebook form also. I love having literally thousands of books at my fingertips. Regardless of my mood, there is always something good to read.
