Second!
Amazing!
Love this one. I especially enjoyed reading it
In installments when it was released. The anticipation for the new installment every month was killing me ?
I bought it one book at a time aswell.
I was 15 and worked after school at a local pizzaria. First book(s) I ever bought with money I had earned.
@Rasmus my sister used to work at target and i would call her at work to make sure she checked when the new part was out. It was exciting when I would get the next installment. I still have them.
Someone borrowed mine 20 years agobor so, and never returned them. I replaced them just last year.
I remember the first book came with a t-shirt.
I bought them in installments as well, and remember showing up a week early at the bookstore and not being able to get the next part. Talk about having book disappointment!
@Ru ugh that’s the worst thing ever!
@Rasmus that’s a bummer. I don’t think I got a t-shirt. ?
It had like red sunset-ish design of the prison on it. Like the cover of the first book.
These are hardback. The original ones were paperback.
@Rasmus those look nicer than mine. Lol. Mine are well loved. What language are they in?
@Alejandrina Danish. Useally read English when I can, but these I read in danish back in the day.
And I have a thing for bad translation. Not that these are though.
@Rasmus seriously? That’s interesting. I can read in Spanish. I have some books that have been translated to Spanish. I’m inspired to read them now. lol
Years back, translations were done by who ever did it the fastest.
With that in mind a gurney ended up being a person in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest”
And in “The Island of Dr. Moreau” the grate on the ship ended up being a grater (like a cheese grater).
They rely less on speed and more on quality now.
@Rasmus that’s horrible.
Yes.. and really fun to read. I can see the annoyance for some, but I find it hilarious.
The stand or 11/22/63
The Stand is my favorite
11/22/63!!!

Dead Zone
My favorite is Needful Things ? I’m one of few.
I really liked that one too.
Four past midnight, the talisman, the green mile, misery
Misery
The Stand and The Dark Tower series
I liked The Dark Half a lot.
Bag of Bones was creepy
Carrie
Salems Lot
The dark Tower
Cell
For some reason that one seems to be unpopular. I really liked it.
I loved it, one of my favourite books of all time and I’m not a horror/zombie fan.
Really? ??♂️
Just seemed like a pointless read and rushed ending.
I’m a big horror fan but not normally zombies but this one was good.
I really liked it ?
@Rebecca-Mae did they turn it into a film?
@Kevin they did but I’ve never seen it 🙂
I haven’t gotten around to it either.
Insomnia and Misery
Loved misery but Insomnia kinda ended up curing mine. It started out really well then just ……..
@Kylie brilliant comment.
Yeah I understand what you mean, think I really like the idea of not knowing what’s a dream or reality.
It was a good premise just didn’t really achieve the great heights I expected.
The stand
11/22/63. Misery. Cell
Misery is amazing ?

The stand

I love his short stories. Bazaar of bad dreams. His new novel The Outsider is super intriguing as well!

So sad, though…

Rose Madder

I recommend his short fiction like The Skeleton Crew and Four Seasons
The Dark Tower series
Misery.
Also short stories- the mist. The body
11/22/63
11/22/63 is excellent. I loved the dark half too.
Misery
Pet Semetary
See if you can find the short story collection that includes Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption (yes, the story the movie was based on). I think it’s called Different Seasons. The collection also includes the novella that became the movie Stand By Me and Apt Pupil, which was also made into a movie. But really, just look for the Shawshank story. It’s amazing how well it translated into a movie.
The Stand
Four Past Midnight
Finders Keepers
Mr. Mercedes
11/22/63
The Stand, 11/22/63, Duma Key
I loved The Stand.
Different seasons, Four past midnight, The girl who loved Tom Gordon & The green mile were all good! Currently reading Gerald’s game and enjoying it! I prefer his short stories or smaller novels over his large books. Personally find his bigger book drag and alot of rambling
The Stand and The Green Mile. Those two have a lot of meat and meaning. So does The Girl Who Loved Tome Gordon.
Salem’s Lot, the green mile, Dolores Claiborne, Pet Sematary ?
Rose Madder
Pet Sematary
11/22/63
Mr. Mercedes trilogy
Start at the beginning where he began …. Carrie
That’s how I do my re reads.
Firestarter
That’s a much over looked one but I thought it was really good.
Salem’s Lot, Skeleton Crew, Nightmares & Dreamscapes
The Dead Zone. Everyone kinda forgets about it, but it’s my favorite novel of all time.
The Stand
The long walk
Detective Hodges Trilogy
The Stand
It
The eyes of the dragon, it’s more for kids and teenage tho but I loved reading it. It kinda takes you back to the little you still it has some horror light into it that makes you shiver.
Also, all of the books he wrote and signed as Richard Bachman, running man, the regulators and two or three more titles. It’s a dystopia/horror/thriller.
The Green Mile
