10.20.13 | I dug the dead zone and of course pet sematary |
GnFnRs87
10.20.13 | Pet Sematary was brilliant, the film didn't do it any justice. Same can be said for It |

10.20.13 | IM A MOTHAFUCKN STEP-JEN KIN FAN |
Necrotica
10.20.13 | I like his books and hate pretty much every film adaptation of his work. They never, ever do his original work justice |
GnFnRs87
10.20.13 | I agree with that to an extent however I have a soft spot for The Shining, given that Kubrick essentially made it his own
I also like the Green Mile and Carrie but that's pretty much it |
Necrotica
10.20.13 | Yeah, The Shining is always an exception. So yeah, my bad. Not every adaptation :] Most though, for sure |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
10.20.13 | Just finished reading Pet Sematary and I've previously read The Shining and Insomnia. Insomnia was probably my favourite of his stuff, I'll definitely be acquiring more of his books soon. |
GnFnRs87
10.20.13 | Yeah, definitely most adaptations are poor attempts at capturing the novel's brilliance. It was only down to the genius of Kubrick and Nicholson and the way that Kubrick interpreted the story and added his own layers to it made The Shining just as good as the source material.
Visions, have you read Salem's Lot ? |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
10.20.13 | "Visions, have you read Salem's Lot ? "
No I haven't but that's one that is constantly recommended to me. I'll get round tor reading it eventually but the problem is I buy too many books and then can't keep up haha |
PortraitsOfDecay
10.20.13 | Yeah, I've been reading his "Dark Tower" series but that's it. |

10.20.13 | "I buy too many books and then can't keep up"
Amen to that, as well as University reading, I've also bought about 6 or 7 other books this weekend so I'll be kept occupied for quite some time ... |

Haha man that's excessive |
GnFnRs87
10.20.13 | What can I say ..... I've always been excessive ..... I just found myself with money and in a book shop ...... |
Deathconscious
10.20.13 | im reading his dark tower series but other than that im not really interested in his work. |
iSkane
10.20.13 | King's the king. I honestly found the Stand to be mediocre (in comparison with everyone's godly praise of it) but even then it's still pretty good. I love everything I've read by him except Firestarter. Probably going to read 11/22/63 next. |
mindleviticus
10.20.13 | i wanna get his new one reeeeeeeeeeeeetally badlu |
GnFnRs87
10.20.13 | I've acquired 11/22/63 but I haven't got round to reading it yet
"i wanna get his new one reeeeeeeeeeeeetally badlu"
Doctor Sleep does sound pretty good actually |

I feel ya, almost every time I go into a book shop I don't come out empty-handed |

I'm the same, the one I'm most looking forward to may well be Shirley Jackson's 'Haunting of Hill House' |
Riviere
10.21.13 | Never read any of his stuff until last week I started reading "It" after watching the movie. The first half of that movie is damn good. |
MO
10.21.13 | hell yes king is one of a kind
the darktower series and IT are beyond stellar. he has so many more though. |
GnFnRs87
10.21.13 | I haven't started the Dark Tower series yet, I tend to prefer more horror stuff |
klap
10.21.13 | i've read all of his books except the last couple. read It - probably my favorite. and you should read Dark Tower eventually you'll like it |
GnFnRs87
10.21.13 | I'll put it on the list .... I wanna read The Stand and 11/22/63 first though |

10.31.13 | I've read a pretty massive amount of his stuff. Salem's Lot and It are my favorites. I also really like everything he wrote as Richard Bachman. |
joshuahuntkc
10.31.13 | I'm reading Doctor Sleep right now and it is pretty good. |
Buzzkillr
