Better late than never!

[Nicole]

Cujo when I was 14.

[Gary]

My first book was THE STAND. It had me from the very beginning. I could hardly put it down until I had finished it. Out of all the King books I have read it still ranks up there near the top.

[Linda]

My first book was Carrie, almost 35 years ago.

[Laima]

The Shining

[Ladylefay]

My first book was either Pet Sematary or Tommyknockers cant really remember

[Sarah]

Pet semetary! I've re-read it a bunch of times since, but I first picked it up in the seventh grade. The older I get, the more I take away from it.

[Beth]

My first was IT! Read it in the seventh grade, bought it a flea market. It is one of my favorite to this day.

[R.J.]

Different seasons and loved every minute of it!

[Marie]

My mum has asked me to help her pick her first Stephen king! I'm really surprised but she wants to see what myself and my sisters fell in love with! She's not into horror so I'm trying to think........ Insomnia maybe? What do you guys think?

I always recommend the Dark Tower series, I recently got my mum started on them :)

Insomnia is a great choice too - not too scary! Also, have you read The Talisman? More fantasy than horror and a personal favourite of mine. I recommended it to my mum and she absoultely loved it :)

[Marie]

I actually have the dark tower to start myself. I've never read them as I thought I didn't like fantasy writing

[Shell]

I bet you will love them Marie! They are amazing and all of SK's other books have connections with them.

[Marie]

I'm actually struggling at the moment - I start a book and then change it the next day! Usually some SK fixes that!!!!! I might have to start it today.

[Shell]

I felt a bit like that yesterday, I started a new book and I'm finding it hard to get into and it's tempting to change to something else but I'm doing it as a group read which is good as it gives me an extra incentive to persist!

Good luck - let us know how you go :)

[Marie]

I will, gonna start it when I go to bed. I'm also gonna treat myself to Insomnia for my kindle to indulge myself in after Dark Tower

[Shell]

Insomnia has heaps of connections with DT so perfect follow up!

[Trent]

Marie I'm having my mom read 11/22/63 for her first

[Marie]

Ooh, that's a good idea - I really want her to read Pet Cemetery as it was my first but I think I might be pushing it lol!

[Trent]

Bag of bones would be a good first read

[Dennis]

The Stand was my first King,Still one of my all time favorite books.I want to read DarkTower I've never read any of them!

[Trent]

I'm getting the first two dark towers for my b day in March

[Shell]

Awesome bday pressie Trent!

[Trent]

Getting them in hardback along with the uncut stand in hardback

[Shell]

I'm jealous!

[Lanie]

The Dark Tower is awesome! The Gunslinger is hard to get into - its mostly exposition, setting up Roland's world. The 2nd & 3rd books are two of my favorites! Happy reading!!

[Jessica]

The Stand, and its still my favorite. I started reading it when I was 12 after the first day the miniseries was on tv

[Andrew]

Mine would have to be Skeleton Crew, there is just so many great stories in side it's pages.

[Andrew]

Misery! I was 9-11yrs. old perhaps and to be honest, it was terrifying.

[Holly]

Mine was Four Past Midnight. I've been hooked ever since! :-)

[Myra]

It's kind of ironic, but Stephen Kings first book 'Carrie' was also the first book I read by him...been a fan ever since.

[Richie]

"The Shining" was my first King book.

[Stepheny]

My first "attempt" at Stephen King was Gerald's Game but I was only I think eleven, and I didn't get very far before I realized I was probably too young for it. LOL So after that I stuck to RL STINE(haha) until I picked up Bag of Bones and the Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I loved Bag of Bones. It was actually my favorite by him until I finally got around to reading IT about 5 years ago!!

[Trent]

Read Carrie when I was 15 it was barely good enough to finish then read it or the stand couldn't put either of those down

[Sherri]

The Shining was my first one as well! I've been hooked ever since.

Hard not to be after the Shining. That book is terrifying and wonderful. One of his best, for sure!

Yes it was, S..."

That movie was really scary, I have that movie on DVD,so I watch it every once in awhile. The first book I've has to be Carrie at 13 years old.

[Aaron]

My first was The Stand, and it's still my favorite by a lot.

I read IT recently, but I haven't seen the movie. I need to get my hands on it.

Bahahahaha... yes. I want to put my hands all over It. So good.

[Linda]

The stand was a great book and movie, one of my all time favs.

[Richie]

I just bought the stand on dvd, haven't read the book though.

[Edward]

Pet Cemetary, which had me hooked on him. I still love that book to this day. My second was Salem's Lot, which was even creepier.

[Sebastian]

Salem's Lot when I was at the hospital. It didn't make hospital any less creepier xd

[Seif]

IT. one of the best books i've ever read in my life

[Novia]

mine was Rose Madder. I saw his movie first before reading his books. I first saw Thinner and it amazed me to the level I want to read his books. Rose Madder wasn't his best but it was good enough for me to want to read his books again....and he is now my number one author :)

[Squire]

The Shining. My freshman English teacher was reading it. My mother wouldn't let me see the movie. Becoming a King fan was just a natural progression. Scared the crap outta me when I read it and freaked me out 30 years later when I reread it. My favorite King.

[Rhian]

mine was salems lot and i loved it
