Hello everyone,My names is Guethy, I am a huge fan of SK. The first book I read from him was Carry... I am not a massive reader, but "this book" opened my eyes to a all new world.
I'm currently reading IT, which is mind blowing, so much better than the last movie ( part 2)
Hi Guethy! Welcome! I am reading It also, it’s my first time reading it. I really enjoyed both of the new movies.
Hi Amelia,I almost finished IT. Closer I get to the end more I'm getting exiting and nervous.
The 2nd part was more spooky than pure horror so... Anyway, as soon as finish this book I will have special IT night with both version, from the 80's and 2000. Than next! Salem or the Great storm... decision decision
Hello, I am Hassan from India. I came across this group just a few moments ago and thought it would be a good idea to know other King fans from around the planet. Currently I have around 50 of his books out of which I have completed 32. I am reading Doctor Sleep right now. Anyone out there reading the same at this moment? Stay Safe everyone, Happy Reading!!!
Welcome Hassan! I read Doctor Sleep many years ago now but I remember really enjoying the story. How are you liking it so far?
Hi, I'm based in the UK. I love horror. Love SK. He's probably the biggest influence in my own writing.
Hello all, my name is Trís and I am just getting back into reading after years of not reading. I welcome new friends and follows as I embark on this journey!

Hello From Me .. I live in the middle of the UK and used to read loads of Stephen King books pre Kindle days .. since moving to kindle and getting rid off all my books (space issues) I have only read one ( 11/22/63 ) which I really enjoyed . I need to read some of his new works so that's why I joined :)
Welcome Brian! 11/22/63 is my favorite, so that was a good one to read.
Thank You Tracy .. if you have any King Recommendations let me know :)
Hi, my name is Carrie, but my favorite book isn't Carrie :') That would be The Stand and It. I discovered King only recently after watching the movie "It" and was immediately drawn into his majestic work. I hope to explore more of his books through this group.
Hello.Apart from all things concerned with Kings fantastic writing/reading. Im from Stockholm Sweden The attribute of me? No but weather could be "Swedish"as in Castle Rock! Nearly all. 75 books, Have mostly listen to them, audiobooks. And I haven't paid for a single one, Suits me, Im a morally decent person, know its differences. I have bought my share through the years. Love "the book". So Mr King shouldn't care. I could be a man in his books, Absolutely . Differences among the vast persons, events in the books. From Dr Sleep to Geralds Game..?So fun to be here,but actually I want to comment, this weeks topics,,
Other writers... No, There must surely a lot of King related books.
His universe, Similarities. But a shame to have a to have Ämnesflykt.
Swedish meaning ,
Hello. My name is Alfred from New Zealand. I'm an author writing books inspired by Stephen King (without the naughty stuff). I have read IT, Under the Dome and many others. I've just finished watching The Shining 1997 and The Stand 1994.

Hi Everyone!I can't believe ive only just found this group! Im a big SK fan and currently making my first journey through the Dark Tower series. Really looking forward to being part of this group :)
Howdy folksConstant reader since I was 12, turn the big 4 and O this year, so it has been a while.
I reside on the Isle of Man (a tiny beautiful Island in the Irish Sea, between England and Ireland) where I work for Government as head of esports.
I also have read just about every King story but…. never been able to get into Dark Tower! 😬 I have read Gunslinger so many times but just have not found it was the right time, but I really do want to go on that journey. Will try again this winter no doubt.
Only just joined Goodreads and looking forward to reading and writing reviews and joining in some discussions with you fine folk.
Cheers

You're welcome Chris! Happy to help!!
Hi everyone! My name is Dave and I'm a librarian and podcaster based in Austin, Texas. I've been reading Stephen King since I was 11 or 12. I think my first was Salem's Lot and I was hooked! I have to say, I've read a lot of the major novels over the years, but haven't always kept up with King's output over the past 10 or 15 years, with the exception of 11/22/63, Doctor Sleep, and The Institute. So I have a lot of backlist books and newer releases to finally catch up on. Meanwhile, I'm doing a (very slow) chronological reread from the beginning and I just hit The Shining (3rd time?). I'm happy to find your group and all of the great discussion here!
Happy reading,
Dave
Hi,I’m Hannah and I read my first Stephen King novel two years ago (I started with The Green Mile!). He’s since become my favourite author as I’m just in awe of his writing. I’ve read a handful of King’s books but I still have so many to read!
I’m currently reading the dark tower series and am loving it so far!
Hi, I'm Julia (26) and I'm from Germany! I read my first King novel (IT) in 2011, loved it in general, but hated the ending (maybe, because I wasn't fully aware that King's speciality is horror and not realistic crime (with a bit of horror in it) *shame on me*. I know it better now, I promise). Read a few other books and short stories, liked them too but for reasons I'm not aware of I stopped reading King. But, to be honest, I never stopped thinking about his talent.
Long story short, as my next project I want to read all of his books chronologically. I will be starting with Carrie soon (buddy readers welcome). I guess this project will keep me busy for a few years. :) I don't intend to read them one after another, but who knows?
I'm happy to be a part of this group!
P.S. I'm a newbie at this group thing on goodreads. If I make any mistakes, just let me know :)

Welcome, Julia, and you're far from the only one to ever have a problem with one of King's endings.
Hi, my name is Rahim. I've read a couple King books 📕 (Shining and The Outsider). I loved both. I recently watched both "It" movies. I thought the films were awesome. I'm now very intrigued by the characters, Derry, etc. I want to know more. Books always tell more, so I plan to read "It' next. I was hoping to be able to read "It" with other people on here, if that's allowed. Thanks all!
Life long Stephen King fan, including the Backman books. lol From 8th grade on I was either out experimenting or holed up in my room reading. Often under the covers late at night. Back then I could read till 1 am under the covers, by flashlight. Now I do most of my writing in my writer's cave. It is the only space I have that the cats, dogs, kids, and spouse are not allowed. And yes, they layabout outside the door waiting for my emergence. lol The thing I enjoy most about his writing style is the head-hopping! I love knowing what makes each character tick, their internal thoughts tell all.....
Sorry I just have to say this. I love your name C. M. Well your last name
