Any Stephen King fans in da house?

My fav is Needful Things, but probably only because its the last one I re-read. What's your favorite??

The Dark Tower series is phenomenal... epic... but phenomenal.

It's been a while, but I really enjoyed reading The Stand. Dolores Claiborne may be one of my favorite movie adaptations.

big fan, but it's been a while since I've read anything of his...I'd have to say Night Shift - love his short stories, those are classics

Stephen King is the MAN!!! Although, poor BH is patiently waiting for me to finish reading the Dark Tower Series so he can FINALLY discuss!!!

His best work IMHO is The Body on whch the movie Stand by Me is based.

I'm also finishing up the Dark Tower series. Talk about addictive. I can't imagine the people who had to wait so many years between books. I was lucky enough to have picked up The Gunslinger just a couple years ago so I could just run to the bookstore for the next one the same week.

My friends and I are due to go back to Canada this summer, so I think I'm going to save the final book till then. No spoilers in post titles, please!

I am one of those people.



All frustration aside though... it's just a phenomenal tale in it's entirety. I love to read, I read very quickly... as such, I have read a lot of books. It's not only my favorite SK book(s), it's my favorite book(s) by anyone.

Must have been hell waiting for that Star Wars prequel huh BH. How many years was that anyway - 20???

I like Stephen King, too. I don't know if I have a favorite. If I did, it's probably "Dark Half".
I think the thing I like best about him is that these books translate into great movies, most of the time.
After a while, though...you start looking for Derry on the map.
You know, "places to avoid while travelling with the family".
