Longest marathon of consecutive King books you recall reading

[Abigail]

I just posted on the Insomnia thread about how I am reading that now and how it is the 8th book in a marathon of King books I've been reading in a row all year. I love how this group brings together both fairly new King readers and constant readers who have been fans for decades. So I'm curious, for both old and new fans,

Do you recall ever doing a long marathon of nothing but Stephen King books for "x amount" of consecutive books in a row, back to back? How many in a row do you recall it ended up being (and how long? a year? ex. 12 books in 12 months)

Would you ever consider doing a long marathon of his books AGAIN in the future?

Also of course if anyone happens to be CURRENTLY in the middle of a SK marathon, tell me about it!

Thanks for the feedback!

I can't be as specific as how many of his books I have read in a row exclusively, especially because I generally read three books at once. I do know I usually end up reading/re-reading between 10 and 12 books of his per year.

I'll have to look at how many I've read of his so far this year.

I guess I am currently in the middle of an SK marathon...lol. Not at the finish line yet but it's been a blast so far...

[Kirstin]

Last winter I read The Shining, Dr. Sleep, IT, and Needful Things back to back. I'm sure I've gone through other marathons, but I can't remember.

So this calendar year I have read eight King books. I will absolutely read Revival the second I get it and I am sure I will read one or two others by him before the end of the year.

My longest marathon was a re-reading spree I did from Sept. 2009, til May 2010, I re-read 16 of his books.

Cell, Stephen King Goes to the Movies, The Dead Zone, Hearts in Atlantis, Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales, Insomnia, The Eyes of the Dragon, 'Salem's Lot, The Talisman, Black House, Under the Dome, The Regulators, Desperation, Rose Madder, Cujo, Thinner

I read all 8 Dark Tower books in 2012 back-to-back (42 days); but as I have been reading King's books as they've come out since 1981, I haven't read many others of his in a marathon.

[Erin]

The only one that comes to mind is when I read the first three books in the Dark Tower series back to back.

[Shaun]

Currently on book 14 and 15 ( Under The Dome and Bazzar of Bad Dreams). Decided to forgo other authors until I've made a significant dent in my unread King books.

[Travis]

The only marathon I remember was the entire Dark Tower Series.

I'm fairly new to King. I read The Stand earlier this year, went on to other books then got to 11/22/63. So now I've done 11/22/63, Mr Mercedes, Salems lot, and now I'm reading IT. I plan to read Under the Dome next and probably another King after that.

[Kandice]

I'm not sure how many in a row I have read of his exclusively, but I've read 24 Kings of 108 books total so far this year, with only two being new reads. I re-read his stuff obsessively, so rarely go longer than 2 weeks without reading something of his.

[Nick]

Read all the novels he had written at the time obsessively in 2006 and 7, without reading anything else. Then started reading other books (Something Wicked This Way Comes, Rosemary's Baby, Dracula etc.) while waiting for others to come out. Fortunately, he kept writing.

The Dark Tower series, frome The Wastelands up to the last. It took me up all day and night and the I'm thankful to be alive.
