Hi Im Ashley! Ive been a big fan for a long time and I started reading faithfully about 6 years ago and starting my collection. Most of my books are really beat up which makes me love them more. My favorite book by Mr King is The Shining and my favorite movie based off his books is a tie between The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption. Just joined goodreads less then a week ago and very excited to find more books to read!

Found them in thrift stores etc. I also really liked the movie adaptation of Green mile
Ashley I agree The Green Mile is an excellent movie. It reminds me of a twilight zone type story.
Welcome Ashley. Beat up books, as long as no pages are missing, are awesome. Shows they've been well loved. Goodreads will definitely expand your too read list. So many interesting people with great recommendations.
Hey Everyone! I’m Michael and I’m pretty new to the Goodreads community. Looking to meet a few individuals here who share a love for horror books. I’m inclined to anything Stephen King but I’ll read anything that sparks my interest.

Hello everyone!I've hated Stephen King most of my life. Pet Semetary bored me as a kid and Dreamcatcher confirmed my bias as an adult - Gunslinger didn't change anything.
Then somebody tricked me into trying 11/22/63 a few years ago and I was BLOWN. AWAY. Holy shit. Ever since, I've been bouncing around his bibliography trying to catch up. There's been a few that have fallen flat, but for the most part I'm ashamed at how much I've allowed myself to miss out on lol. He's quickly become one of my favorite authors.
Think it's great that you guys do regular reads, and I look forward to continuing my journey with you all!
Welcome Jeremy, hope you enjoy your time here. We look forward to your input on the books as we go through them. The book this month is the Outsider and Fire Starter.
Hi all! Welcome all newcomers.

Hey Jeremy, Have you tried the Bill Hodges Trilogy? Given your enjoyment of 11•22•63, you might like it... maybe even Joyland, a couple of books that are quite different from Pet Cemetary and Dreamcatcher.
Welcome Marigold, or do you prefer Goldie? The adventures we share with Stephen King from the sewers of Derry to London and the outer limits we have been on long walks chased by trucks and attacked by floating slime. We are always look for new friends to help us understand the messages we are being sent.
Hi everyone, I’m V - a voracious reader turning Constant Reader! I’m relatively new to the Stephen King party but what a party it’s been so far. The Bill Hodges trilogy is 100% to blame for my addiction and I’m now working my way through SK’s extensive back catalogue. He is fast becoming my new favourite author. Looking forward to meeting like minded bookworms :-)
Welcome V you have found up at last welcome to the overlook...
Welcome B. I’m still working my way through them too. I’m currently up to 4 past midnight.

I get where you are coming from V - I read a lot of SK years ago and then got waylaid by other authors but I picked up the Bill Hodges trilogy after a looong SK dry spell and couldn't put it down. Absolutely loved those books. Same with The Outsider. Didn't realise how much I missed his writing. Am now stock piling new editions of the older books to reread over autumn & winter and looking forward to the ones I missed out on (and some Joe Hill as well). Enjoy your new favourite.

El-uh-Kyoo-Shuh nBe careful, I don't know if you know about Nick, but he has a protector Babcia, he wrote about her in his books and trust me from what I read about her I would be worried LOL. Nick is a good writer and has one mean Babcia, right Nick.

Funny how many people like Babcia since she's the most powerfully evil witch who ever lived. https://www.amazon.com/Taken-Witches-...
Hi I have been a Stephen King fan since I read Salems Lot aged 14.Now 30 plus years later I am still reading his books. The Talisman and the Dark Tower books are probably my favourites.
The only good thing about being old you can re read books you read ages ago because you have forgotten what happens.
Greetings all. I think the first Stephen King book that I have read was IT, or it could have been Four Past Midnight. All I know is the man is a genius, and I have not read anybody that is close to his writing style. One of my goals is to actually read, or in this case re-read since I just joined Goodreads and am starting to log in books now all of his library. Nice to meet all of you.
Welcome! Good luck in reading all of King's work. I've been doing the same, and it will take awhile.
Thank you. Yes I know. It is amazing how many books this man has written.
☠KISMESIS☠ wrote: "Thank you. Yes I know. It is amazing how many books this man has written."I started reading all of his novels in 2006 and read them all end to end in about two years. But imagine how lost I was when I was finished. Fortunately, King just kept writing... and then I started re-reading. I only remembered certain things about the books, not all the fine details. So it worked just fine.

Hello Nick. Reading that was a little intimidating. Well, at least the journey to completing or at least trying to all of the books will be enjoyable. I mean that is the whole point no?
Paul wrote: "The only good thing about being old you can re read books you read ages ago because you have forgotten what happens."Oh no I don't forget what was in any book I've read. no matter how long ago it was. I read a book in my early teens and was looking for it and a friend asked what it was about so I told them giving them a basic synopsis of the book and in 2 min they found the book I was looking for .
Hi everyone. I'm Amy and Stephen King is my favorite author (I would say I'm his number one fan, but my name isn't Annie.) I have read many of his books but there are so many I haven't read yet that I plan to get to soon. The best book I have read so far this year is "It". I LOVED that book! I still haven't read "The Stand" yet and I know many consider that to be his masterpiece. I'm looking forward to sharing my love for Stephen King's works with the rest of you!
Welcome Amy, Yes it is a great book as is The Stand well almost all his books are LOL.
Hello my name is Carl from Auckland, New Zealand. I have been a huge fan of Stephen Kings work ever since my early teens. I was given a book as a birthday present in the 1980's. That book was called IT :-) After reading that I couldn't stop! I have recently introduced my eldest children to my obsession with great success :-) I am currently re reading Rose Madder. Excited to finally be a part of this Stephen King group!
