The Shining was really good too!

They did a TV Mini-Series remake of The Shining a few years back and that was actually pretty good too, i liked it.

Hey everyone.
I don't usually post on this thread or any of the book ones but I do like Stephen King on occasion. Did any of you hear about this news story about him? I found it really cool .

CBC.ca Arts - Stephen King mistaken for vandal in Australian bookstore

Melissa Ann

That's a great article! Thanks for the link.

Now I want to go buy some more of his books just to see if I can find one he's signed!..lol

But I'm in Canada I wonder if he's been to any book stores here lately!

WildAtHeart

^ he might've lol. did you see the pic in the article is him winning a Canadian reward?


that's so cool he'll go around signing his books....i'm like going to check his books everytime i see them at stores lol

Melissa Ann

That's a really cool idea though. A bookstore wouldn't even know that he was in their store but find liek 20 of his novels signed!

~Unfaithful~

He seems very elusive! That is so cool, I wish I could get a signed one.

Perry Mason

the very first Stephen King book i ever read was Carrie. loved it. my favorite is probably It though. i hate clowns; they scare the crap out of me. that book didnt help. lol also loved Insomnia and Desperation.

I really liked The Eye of The Dragon, it was different

Melissa Ann

I loved Carrie! "It" is one of my favorites. it's so difficult to pick one favorite though because he has so many great novels!

I must admit I've only read his Dark Tower series but I do like them a lot (I'm on book 6 now). I might read some more of his work. I tended to avoid him because he writes horror but the Dark Tower series doesn't seem so bad. Can anyone recommend me and others of his books which are similarly fantastical?

Melissa Ann

Well a lot of his books are amazing. Some others to look into reading that also have been made into movies are: Thinner, Misery, Dolores Claiborne, 1408, The Green Mile, Dreamcatcher, Hearts in Atlantis, IT....

Alright, so I've never read any Steven King because I always thought he was a little overrated but, what would you recommend for me to read because I'm interested in perhaps reading some of his stuff. I'm not a huge horror fan but I don't know what else he writes and I feel like I need to read something of his. Please give me a suggestion. I appreciate it.

Melissa Ann

The Green Mile is a really great book, the movie is amazing as well. Dreamcatcher is another great one.

Those two are not so much about the horror factor as they are about the twist ending.

I still like The Eye of The Dragon it's not scary, it's just cool.
