There's a pretty awful bathroom scene in Scarface as well!

Scarface is one of my favorite movies! But I feel pretty safe from that since I'm not a drug dealer...;-)

My name is Kayla. I am 21. I am a college student and new here at GR. I love reading, music, and having fun. I'm here because I don't know anyone that likes books IRL, so I figured I could make some friends here! Send me a friend request and I will add you back. I have my own group that I started just for fun and you guys can DM too!
@Kayla: Welcome and very awesome! What kind of music do you like? I'm a metalhead and obviously love reading Stephen King :-DI just sent you a friend request and look forward to future book discussions with you!
Hi. My name is Pez from England but living in Brisbane. I started reading SK about 1 year ago. Probably own 60 books and read about 12. Long way to go. 😊
@Pez: Welcome! That's very awesome as you got this :-D

Hello, everyone. I’m returning to Goodreads after a long time away. I have always been an avid reader but not so good at staying up with the group. I have a lot more time available now and look forward to reading and sharing. I’m 68 yrs old and have been a Stephen King follower since the day I picked up Carrie when it was published. Somehow in the years of chasing my children I missed The Talisman and Black House ( even though I own both) so I’m excited to start reading them. Happy New Year!
@Julie: Welcome and very awesome! Yeah, local book clubs are hard these days as I was unable to find any as well where I live in New York. I'm glad you found this group, it rocks :-D
@Hk: Welcome, my friend! IT was the first novel I read by King, enjoy!
@Denise: Welcome and glad you're back on Goodreads! Those are both incredible books and well, enjoy and happy reading! Happy New Year as well :-D
Hello! I'm Amy and I'm a long time King fan. I read Night Shift first and have been hooked since then!
@Amy: Welcome and very awesome! I loved Night Shift, what a great collection of short stories :-)

I live in Missouri! I moved here from California a little over a year ago and have been trying to start an in-person book club, but have had no takers. My in-person book club from CA started Zoom during Covid, so I still participate, but there's just something magical about being together in real life. Good luck!
Hi, I'm Vicky and from the UK. I've been on Goodreads since 2015 but have been reading Stephen King longer than that. I first read Under the Dome as a teenager and fell in love. My dad also loves him so we bond a lot over his works. Planning this and next year to get through all of his major novels.
@Victoria: Welcome as that's so awesome! I never read Under the Dome but plan to one of these days. My first King novel was "IT" and it was a huge catalyst to read more of his work, see the movie adaptations, and become a huge horror enthusiast :-)

I'm pretty sure that's where most people start and it's deffo a good one!
@Victoria: That's so awesome! LoL I'll never forget reading "Misery" for the first time and how it blew me away. Also can't forget 'Salem's Lot...
Denise wrote: "Hello, everyone. I’m returning to Goodreads after a long time away. I have always been an avid reader but not so good at staying up with the group.

This group is very relaxed and many wonderful people here to connect with.
Welcome to all the new members. Lovely to see this group growing. Feel free to send me a friend invite. Always looking for fellow readers to connect with.
Added :) hi i heather This group is great
Current stephen king book is it on kindle and ration book daughter- Jane Fullerton paperback
Hey all! Recently got back into reading in April of last year and picked up some of King’s writing for the first time thereafter. I have since worked through some of his classics as well as his more recent novels, and in the last month or so, have started my first trip through the Dark Tower series and am loving every minute of it! Super excited to be a part of a like minded community, and above all, a group of people with as big a passion for reading as I have rekindled in the past year!
Hi everyone, I'm Allie! Long time book worm and wanting to keep up more with Goodreads this year. I've always loved SK! I have most recently read The Stand and The Long Walk over this last summer but Misery is my favorite that I have read of his so far. Looking forward to chatting and checking more of his books off my list.
@Cameron: Welcome as that's so awesome! I'm saving the Dark Tower series as a whole likely sometime in the Spring. Glad you're here as this group is amazing :-)
@Allie: Welcome and very cool! I finished Fairy Tale back in September and absolutely love it. I hope King has some more books in store for us in 2023 :-)
@Sue: Welcome and very awesome! Same here, I've been reading King since I was a teenager and 20+ years later, I'm still reading his older and newer work :-)
can anyone tell me which is worthwhile -Fairy Tale or The Stand?
Affan Tasnem Hemal wrote: "can anyone tell me which is worthwhile -Fairy Tale or The Stand?"Both. FT is uplifting, while dramatic, The Stand is more of a downer and especially relevant right now. Depends on what you are in the mood for.
Affan Tasnem Hemal wrote: "can anyone tell me which is worthwhile -Fairy Tale or The Stand?"I second what Kandice said, you can't go wrong with either of them.
The Stand is one of my favorites by King. I am currently reading Fairy Tale and I am really enjoying the story so far.
Hello, My name is Aisling, from Ireland. I have been a King fan for years. My favourite so far is The Stand. I love a good post apocalyptic story. It’s one I’ve read or listened to on audio several times. I still have so many of his books to read. Hoping to tick off a few more this year. Nice to meet you all.
Affan Tasnem Hemal wrote: "can anyone tell me which is worthwhile -Fairy Tale or The Stand?"Both are great! The Stand is a classic and I'm betting Fairy Tale will be, too.
@Aisling: Welcome, my friend! I've always wanted to visit Ireland, one of these days for sure. I've yet to read The Stand but it's on my TBR and I plan to tackle that this year. I just finished "Cell" and loved it :-)Looking forward to future discussions with you on all things SK!
Aisling wrote: "Hello, My name is Aisling, from Ireland. I have been a King fan for years. My favourite so far is The Stand. I love a good post apocalyptic story.

@Martijn: Welcome as that's so awesome! Did you read "Fairy Tale" yet? I loved it as it was definitely an epic fantasy book :-)
Hii, im Mathilde! I have been a fan of Stephen for a long time but just recently started reading his books! I’m 17 turning 18 this year. I have read Carrie (which is my fav book ever) and have The Pet Cemetery in my book shelf waiting to be read; any other good suggestions for a starter?
@Mathilde: Welcome and so glad to hear you're reading more of his books. Carrie was such an INSANELY great read! For suggestions, I'd say...Misery
'Salem's Lot
IT
Just about to start fire-starter as that’s due back to Library in 2 weeks. I own it so that will be picked back up after this one think
Hi everyone! I’m Erika. I joined GR about a year ago and honestly wasn’t much of a reader until last year. I found my genre and now can’t get enough of it! My brother loved reading Stephen King books and now I just started reading my first one - Later. Just pick one that interested me and was available now through my library :)
@Erika: Welcome and glad to hear that! I'll forever love horror and of course, Stephen King. I loved Later, that was such a great novel :-)

Hi Mathilde. Carrie was definitely a great read. It is a classic, I read it when it came out and I was in high school. LOL, yes I am THAT old. Pet Cemetary was also a great read. I see LTJ has already suggested - some equally good titles.
I would add:
The Stand
The Shining
If It Bleeds It Leads
Happy Reading

As far as shower curtains, Psycho and The Shining go, when I am in the shower I can't put both hands up, even when washing my hair. I ALWAYS have one arm on my middle because of Psycho. It's completely subconscious now, but it's been that way for decades.
