As far as King’s larger novels goes, it’s not really worth it. I wouldn’t choose to read it again and I re-read King all the time.

@Michele well, aye, I wouldn’t lie to you, he has written a few books that aren’t horror ~

11/22/63
The Green Mile
Under the Dome (there might be one horror part but it’s an accident)
The Running Man (the movie is very different from the book)
Different Seasons (three stories from the book were adapted into movies ~ ‘The Shawshank Redemption’, ‘Stand by Me’ & ‘Apt Pupil’
Dolores Clairborne
On Writing
The Dark Tower series?

And loads more?

@Paula I know you’re right, but in my mind, all I can see are those awful horror movies! Just the book covers and names freak me out! I admit it, I’m a big ?!
