A J R | 14 comments Hello, a constant reader of Stephen King since 1990. Love all different kind literature but always keep comming back to Mr King's works, read most of them, have a soft spot for gothic horror and darkness. Just joined this group.


message 4003: by Pat of Rocks (new)

Pat of Rocks I'm Pat from Maryland. I've been reading King works since around 1995 when I found a copy of Pet Semetary at the library. Not long after would follow Tommyknockers and IT. And it just kept going from there.

I've read so many titles, and yet there are so many I still have untouched. Last reads were Elevation, Outsider, and If It Bleeds.

Next book on deck will probably be Bag of Bones.

Welcome! The three you have read are really long, but many are not. You can jump around and find novels of manageable lengths throughout his career.

Laura Hey everyone! I have loved Stephen King's books since my first King book when I was 18. It was The Green Mile. I still have many King books left to read, including The Dark Tower series, and would love to make some King-loving friends.

I joined Goodreads years ago but I have only just started adding the books I've read. During lockdown I came out of my reading slump and Goodreads is a big part of that! I am trying to read my TBR books I already own before buying more books. I own lots of King books I haven't read yet!

I'm the sort of person who loves chatting about books after I've finished them but I have few Goodreads friends and the ones I have don't seem to have many books in common with me. I've started posting reviews but it does sometimes feel like they're just for me!

Anyway, that's enough from me! I am glad I found this group!

Welcome! I love to chat about books as well, but my reading so seldom lines up with anyone else's that it becomes hard except for my RL book club, which is so structured you just can't get ahead or behind!

Hi Laura. Welcome! I'm on here off and on. Your introduction hit home with me. While I don't engage much, I enjoy reading people's comments and opinions. I can't wait to see what you have to say. Cheers!

Aron Silver (aronsilver) | 1 comments Hey there! I'm Aron Silver. I write mature horror stories, not entirely unlike those from Mr. King, whom I admire greatly. My favorite of his books is Wizard and Glass for its tragic love story between Roland and Susan. Cheers! Aron.

Heather Savickas | 1 comments Hello fellow Constant Readers!
Though my first read, Carrie, was in the 1980's, there are still so many I have not read! I was thoroughly disappointed in college when there was a course based on King's works listed in the course catalog, but never actually offered in the four years I was there. :-(

Patrick Hahn | 4 comments Hello. My name is Patrick and I am from Sunnyvale California. I just recently got heavily into King in the latter half of this year. I started with The Gunslinger and have been devouring his books. I have read about a baker's dozen of his books since August and I show no signs of slowing.

Welcome! I envy you coming to his work with fresh eyes. It's always nice to know the novels hold up over the decades.

message 4037: by Robert (new)

Robert (inthemilieu) Hello all,
I'm a huge fan of many of King's movie adaptions with 'The Shining' being my all time favorite horror movie, and 'The Shawshank Redemption' being my all time FAVORITE movie.

So far, I've only read IT and THE STAND. They were two of the greatest books I've ever read.

Mike (theneverendingtbr) Welcome Robert, glad you're liking Stephen King so far; The Stand is my favourite book of all time but you've a whole bunch of gems left to read by him.

If you're wanting another horror read by him I suggest 'salems Lot.

If you're looking for another post apocalyptic read by him, I suggest Cell.

If you're looking for some general fiction by him I suggest 11.23.63

Happy reading!

Thanks for the suggestions Michael! I'm doing the audio book to 11/22/63 currently, very interesting him going back to Derry.
I liked that.

Thanks to all the others for welcoming.


message 4042: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Hi everyone, I'm Michelle.
Stephen King was my first book love and I'm sure he'll be my last. The Stand is probably my favorite but I've re-read Misery most often. I'm sitting on 11/22/63 as my next King novel. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

It's a wonderful book. I'm sure you'll love it. Have Kleenex on hand, though. ;-)

Alessandro3 | 1 comments Hey everyone, my name’s Alessandro. A new member to goodreads. I think it goes without saying why I’ve joined this amazing group (HUGE FAN). If I had to choose a favourite book, it’d be The Shining. IT, being a very close second. Stephen King is the main reason, for my passion of reading. I’m very excited to be apart of this community!
