Hello!So happy to have found this group - so many kindred spirits! I’ve read a lot of Stephen King’s work, but am most fond of The Dark Tower series and the Stand. I just finished Pet Sematary and it spooked me. Maybe it’s because I’m a Dad, but sheesh, that’s a dark book. Looking forward to learning from you all!

Hello everyone! My name is Adrianne and mu favorite Stephen King book is his book on writing and Misery! So happy I found this group and to meet you all!
I joined a few days ago and have written in a couple threads and have yet to introduce myself. My name is Mike and am a reader whom enjoys many different genres and authors. King is my most read and among my favorite authors because he can tell a good story. I have read many books of his but am still not half way through the catalog yet. Under the Dome and Needfull Things aqd thd next two books in my King queue. My new job is killing my free time to read so hopefully I will get to then soon.

It keeps me going, also great for exercise. I jog a lot longer when I have something to listen to.
Thank you Nick and Erin. No, I have never tried audio books. I am currently in another part of the state and hope to relocatd back to STL in the next two months so I am hoping my job there will afford me some more time for reading. At the rate I am reading now the twenty I have listed as my goal is a stretch and that is less than a quarter of what I read last year.I should be in bed now but I decided to knock out a few extra chapters to try to keep on track.

Hi, I'm here, finally. I've been trying to find more groups to join because groups on FB are better joined for sharing photos, and not so much for discussion (IMO). So sorry to everyone about your old thread. That's really sad. What cheers me up usually is reading a novel by an author that has a strong voice- like Stephen King. I feel like I'm shooting the breeze with a friend and we're talking about our life's horrors. My name is Anna I'm an artist and preschool helper from NYC.
'sup, I made it here after reading King for the last 30+ years. Strangely, I have never read 'Salem's Lot, and a small handful of others (11/22/63, I know I know, From a Buick 8 which I have on my bedside table and will get it after a dozen other books, and Lisey's Story are the only ones that acutely come to mind), but I will catch up on those last in my next 40 years of reading, I am sure. I was away from horror for a time, but jumped back in this past March thanks to a reading challenge, and realized how much I missed it.
If you're into Horror again, just go right to Salem's Lot. 11/22/63 is great... but still stay with the feeling.
Hello!My name is Shelby! I’m from Philly, currently working at a daycare and studying to be a biology teacher online. I just started getting into reading this year, as a New Years resolution. 1 book a month I told myself, and now I’m knocking them out the park hahaha I love psychological thrillers and horror the most, so this group is perfect!

Shelby, what's your favorite psychological thriller?
Granillius, those three works are all high on my list with The Shining being # 2 or 3. I also agree about Christine. We're reading it now in a group read, and I continue to be amazed by King's understanding of teenage/parent conflicts and also his ability to portray brutal horror.
Hey there; the Dark Half is one of my favorites also. Nice to see that someone else also enjoys this....

Hello! My name is Carolina, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Im new to Goodreads, I love Stephen King's books and tho there are many I haven't read yet, I'm trying to read them all :) I have a lot on paper and a couple on digital so I can read on the go.
Hi! I've been following along for a few months now but I haven't introduced myself. My name is Jen and I'm from the Philly area. I haven't read as much King as I would have liked; but I'm pretty familiar with all his movies. I just read Different Season and Christine and I'm excited to continue!
Saludos desde México! I've been reading Stephen King since high school, my first book of SK was The Firestarter, then I bought Nightmares and Dreamscapes and I fell deeply in love with King's writing. It's been a very pleasant adventure so far and I'm looking into anything new or even those books that I've refused to read so far. I'm happy to say hello and been able to read about you all.
Hello all. I'm Shawn from Westminster, MA> Love Stephen King and can honestly say that I have read everything he has written, at least what is commercially available! Currently awaiting delivery of my autographed edition of "Sleeping Beauties" from Cemetery Dance - though I read the book already - and looking forward to "The Institute" later this year.
The institute looks good although could be similar to firestarter but different enough so yea will be on my TBR...

Hi everyone! My name is Kelsey and I live in Chicago. I've been reading Stephen King since I picked up IT in sixth grade (which explains a lot about my current mental state.) My favorites are The Shining and Under the Dome (christ did they ever drop the ball on the tv series for that one.) Looking forward to chatting with you all!
Hi Kelsey, IT is my fav also. We do have some interesting conversations. Welcome to to group....
Hi, I'm Mark from the UK. I really like most of Stephen Kings books, recent favourites include The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Joyland. Old favourites include Pet Cemetary and Needful Things. But don't get me started on IT though...
Good morning/evening everyone. I am a huge SK fan. I have read all of his books, comics and screenplays. At one time I had every book in the Dark Tower series autograghed by SK. Those were my pride and joy. Unfortunately, the ex-hubby burned them when we got divorced knowing it would hurt me immensely.Anyways, I hope everyone has an awesome day/night.

I’m just starting to replace things, though for you it’ll extra tough as SK doesn’t sign very often.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Some people need to be locked up for doing things like that.
