I’ve been thinking about maybe reading a Stephen King book. I’ve never read anything by him before. Can anyone recommend a book?

The Stand, Under the Dome, Rose Madder are 3 of my faves but you’d be hard pressed to get a bad one tbh

I just recently read my first Stephen King book too, Joyland. It’s more suspense than horror and is an excellent coming of age story as well. I really loved it.

Start with the first, Carrie, and read them all chronologically.

Revival, Mr. Mercedes or IT. Revival was my first Stephen King book, and his 63rd. lol Also: Dolores Claiborne & Misery… they also have excellent movie adaptations! 😀
