Stephen King

[TOOL9]

Does anybody else think that the man is a literary genius? I've read almost all of his books and i have been saving what everyone tells me is his best book, The Stand, until i have enough time to invest in the 1000 page book. But anyways i was wondering if anybody else on the boards loves to read King.

One of the greatest writers ever. I love the man.

I do and The Stand is my favorite book by him. Its just so intense to read. The idea of a plauge on humanity caused by the government fascinates me.

I think I've read everything he's written (Amazon + library = good). Latest was Lisey's Story, which was pretty decent. The Stand is probably my favorite book, and the short stories 'The Boogieman' (in Night Shift) and 'Survivor Type' (in Skeleton Crew) are probably my favorites. Hell, 'The Boogieman' made me too creeped out to leave my closet doors open for *years*. To this day even.

He wrote several under another name...Richard..Bauchman...or something? I absolutely LOVE his older stuff and if you haven't read "Thinner" under his other name read it for sure. :thumbsup: Creepy as hell.

He has a short story book called "everythings eventual"...its freaking awsome!

My personal favourite is Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which i think was one of the Bachman books, the film's not a patch on the book ( not as good ). Also Salems lot, IT, Apt pupil, Christine, Cujo.....yes! i tend to go for his earlier stuff too but they're all such damn good reads.

I love everything by him and I have to say that Stand is one of my favorites. The first time I read it I read it in a little over 24 hrs now keep in mind I didnt eat , or sleep in that 24 hours, lol.

Oh has anyone read the latest Bachman book Blaze?
