06.12.21 | Stephen King is one of my favorite authors as I am a really big horror fan, and his books often take place in the area where I live. |

06.12.21 | i would put the long walk over carrie, but otherwise very correct |

06.12.21 | nice, 'Salem's Lot and The Stand are two of my favorites I've read by King too... they would be hands down my favorites, but I read Pet Sematary for the first time one autumn a few years back and got super immersed in it (and that's DESPITE going in already knowing pretty much how the entire story plays out) so that might be my favorite now |

06.12.21 | I am currently working on filling in the gaps of the Stephen king books that I haven’t read yet. Pet semetary is one that I still need to read. |

06.12.21 | I gotta finish The Stand. I’ve been sitting on it halfway through for some time |

06.14.21 | Stand might be my honest favourite. never seen a copy of Rage in the wild |

06.14.21 | The only Stephen King novel worth reading imho is Cujo. I just find him extremely boring as an author. It literally put me to sleep, and The Shining felt like some weird ass alcoholic fever dream.
Cujo is fucking tense though. |

06.14.21 | You would think that the shining would scarier to someone who thinks that ghost and demons are real. |

06.14.21 | Rage can be found in The Bachman Books collection. Its an OK stephen king book, not one of his best. |

06.14.21 | "and The Shining felt like some weird ass alcoholic fever dream."
Thats why its good. |

06.14.21 | What do you think noam chomsky's favorite stephen king book is? |
CaliggyJack
06.14.21 | Meh I prefer the movie version of The Shining over the book.
Honestly funny enough I prefer a lot of the film adaptations of King's stuff over his actual novels. Also just because I believe in demons and shit doesn't mean every single story about them is good to me. I don't think in binary. |

06.14.21 | Oh hey, I've read all of these. The Dead Zone is my fave SK book
The Dead Zone
The Long Walk
Rage
Carrie
Salem's Lot
The Shining
The Stand |
Get Low
06.14.21 | The Shining movie shits on the book yeah |
Get Low
06.14.21 | Also Rage fucking rules and it's stupid that he decided to take it off the market |
CaliggyJack
06.14.21 | King's very anti-gun and he pretty much regretted making that novel the moment he had it released. |
BookoftheFallen
06.14.21 | Yes, he wrote an essay about his gun views.

06.14.21 | I remember reading Salem's Lot when I was 13 and being scared shitless haha |

06.14.21 | Misery has always been my favorite of King's work. Of the 70's stuff, the Stand for sure, but it's definitely a little bloated.
Also yeah - Cujo will pucker your butthole. |
Get Low
06.15.21 | I know about King's stance on guns; that doesn't make it any less stupid that he took the book off the market.
That reminds me - you guys ever see his Twitter? It's a leftist cringe compilation in and of itself. |
Rowan5215
06.15.21 | yea he has surprisingly good politics for an old geezer agreed. respect |
Get Low
06.15.21 | Just read that Guns essay; great read. It was surprisingly level-headed, and I agree with a lot of his points. |

06.15.21 | "That reminds me - you guys ever see his Twitter? It's a leftist cringe compilation in and of itself."
I rarely look on Twitter (horrible place), but I have heared of his responses to JK Rowling and I think it was pretty cool. That's why I decided I want to check him out in the near future. The Shining is waiting for me on my shelf. |

06.15.21 | I think he's actual friends with her, in that particular case? This is based entirely on how I've only ever heard him refer to her as "Jo" though. |
cordwainerbird
06.15.21 | dead zone would be my fave, i love walken in the film adaptation |
kalkwiese
06.15.21 | She blocked him, because he said trans women are women, that's what I was referring to hahaha |
Deathconscious
06.16.21 | Damn, what a snowflake. |
Get Low
06.16.21 | "Yes. Trans women are women."
*uproar ensues* |
