You have so many at your disposal.
Hi Everyone, My name is Patricia and I've been a Goodreads member since 2009. I am a Constant Reader of Stephen King because of my Mother (who passed away October 2018) she was the was a Constant Reader from the beginning.
Welcome Patricia! Sorry to hear about your mother :( .. We are happy to have you in this group of people who all love the works of Mr King. :)
Welcome Patricia. Sorry to hear about your mother.
I'm Jamie. I'm a mother of 2, wife of 1. I just started reading Stephen King books, and I am hooked. It's funny; for years, my parents read every book of his that came out, but I never thought I'd like them. I started with Carrie, and I'm slowly working my way through. Nice to meet everyone!

Welcome aboard Jamie. I did the same thing with Dean Koontz. I had always skipped his books. In my head I was equating that his books were probably not that good because he was such a prolific writer. The flaw in my logic was that one of my favorite authors (King) is known to pump out a lot of books too.
Good evening, my name is Tonya from Kentucky, USA. I am a new member, and it certainly is fantastic to see so many Stephen King brothers and sisters on here. I love his writing style and devilish creativity. I’m looking forward to sharing with you guys.
Hello Everyone! I'm new here, but not new to Stephen King's writing. I think I read my first SK novel when I was about 12 years old and I believe it was Cujo. I read a lot of his books during my high school years and then sort of moved on for a while with an odd book of his here and there. I've recently added several of his books to my TBR pile and considering revisiting his classics that I read all those years ago.

Horns is one of my favorite books of all time! I've read it numerous times. I have a few editions, but will look for yours. Congrats!

Wow, I feel as if I am brushing elbows with the famous. ;-)
Helloooo. My name is Cass. I'm 28 years old and Stephen King has been a long time favorite author. I'm from Long Island, NY, and am currently reading The Shining for the first time, sad I know, been a fan for years and never picked it up! But it's amazing, can't wait to discuss it all with you!
Welcome Long Island and the shinning was a gr8 book and with this heat and humidity the setting should cool you down 😎
Hey everyone, I'm Corey, been on Goodreads for about 6 years now if not longer, I love to read, and I'm a big Stephen King fan! Still slowly getting introduced to his books, I've watched several of the movies based off his works, some movies I loved, others ehhh, HAHA! The Shining was my very first SK book and I could not put it down, I was up past my bedtime every night reading it, and I was sad when it got done, that's how much I enjoyed it! But I'm glad to have found this group, look forward to getting to know all of you, and feel free to message me anytime!
Hi am Alan read pet sematary also it
Hello my name is Shawn. Huge King fan favorite books are The Stand, IT, and the Dark Tower series currently on book 5 taking a break from Roland and his ka-tet. Just finished The Institute, and loved it, kind of new to good reads and the group so I'm still figuring this whole thing out.

Enjoy The Shining, it's an excellent read!!
Hi Erik. The group is currently reading the books in chronological order. If you're a fast reader, you might catch up to us. I think we're up to book #14. I'm not that far myself, but you can join our conversations.
Hello, I'm Pavan Josyula. I've been currently pursuing my third year of bachelor's degree in Mining Engineering. I'm from Vijayawada (city), Andhra Pradesh (state), India (country). I'm currently living and studying in Kolkata, one of the metropolitan cities in India. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King like all of you. My first novel of Stephen King is The Shining. Later, I read some of his works - Gerald's Game, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Salem's Lot, Doctor Sleep, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and currently I am reading one of his horrible novels - Pet Sematary. I'm happy to be a part of this group who share my like and admiration on Stephen King.
Welcome, Erik and Pavan. You've both got some great reading ahead of you. Erik don't rush it too much. Those books need to be savored.
Hi I’m new to this group! I’m 13 and a HUUUUGE fan of Stephen King! I’m in the process of reading IT. I love his work. He is an amazing writer and I love it! Sooo ig that’s it. Stay Chill!
Hello, everyone! My name is Tim, and I am from New England, just like the great Stephen King himself. Part of the reason I love his work so much is how I "know" the people that inhabit his universe. They are authentic in their fictionality. I've read King on and off for years (I even used to teach Carrie), but I recently started reading in vaguely chronological order as best I can. So far I have read Pet Sematary (before I started the chrono read), Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, Doctor Sleep (not chronological but sequel!), The Long Walk (I may exclude "Bachman" moving forward), and now I am on The Dead Zone. I know I missed The Stand, but I need time to devout to the opus. I am concurrently reading The Institute because I can't help myself.
Looking to being part of the group!

What did you think?
Hi Nick! I enjoyed The Long Walk for what it is (the journey of death in hopes of finding new life), but I wouldn’t count it as one if my favorites. I had a hard time connecting with most of the characters, so when they died, I didn’t have any emotional reaction. However, the like the characters themselves, I couldn’t stop (reading in my case). Why is it one of your favorites?

I thought the book captured their age and their world and their over-optimism perfectly. I also liked the story, though my feelings about the ending weren't as negative as most others'. The fact that kids could form those kinds of bonds with the knowledge that only one of them would survive was incredibly insightful on King's part, not to mention his picture of that dystopian world. I understand that he wrote a lot of this during and right after college which makes his story and character development truly amazing.
Welcome Shawn, Erik, Pavan, Gabby, & Tim!
