Stephen King

I am one of Stephen King's biggest fans. I can't pick a favorite because I love them all, but some of my favorites are The Shining, The Green Mile, Pet Sematary, It, and Gwendy's Button Box. I especially like to read the book and then get the movie and watch it over and over again.

I think the collection of short stories was entitled Skeleton Crew. I particularly liked the story, "Word Processor of the Gods". I also liked the short story "Thinner", but I think that was in the Bachman Books. Needful Things was especially interesting - almost a selling your soul type of undertone. It depends on why someone wants something - if a person is looking for clues regarding terrorism, etc. (Shopping for terrorist codes, weird), then it's a bit unkind to have been made to carry out Mr. Gaunts deeds. For instance, I picked up an ice cream maker, old, antique I assume, that is labeled "Challenger 33". Considering the space shuttle challenger. Did not know that brand of ice cream maker existed. Hopefully, Mr. Gaunt (and the band Good Charlotte making light of women on shopping sprees) would have taken the do gooders into account. Otherwise, the concept is fascinating.

I love Stephen King's work and I want to eventually read all of it - I'm probably about halfway there if I had to guess. The Dark Tower series is an absolute masterpiece, I finished that last year and adored it. The first King book I ever read was Under The Dome so that one always has a special place in my heart. Misery's definitely up there as one of my favorites as well.

Unpopular opinion but Desperation by Stephen King is my favorite SK book. I read it one time on vacation and loved every single minute of it, it was such a fun read and I loved following all the twists and turns. I have read other Stephen King novels but Desperation is one that sticks with me whenever I think of this author.

MY favorite Stephen King book is The Shining. This novel is the epitome of the Stephen King style of writing and plot. The thrilling parts are to die for as well as memorable characters!

Same! The dark tower series which is a commitment. Can you imagine though if he kept the original ending (the way that he wanted the series to end)? It would have been really disappointing. The actual ending maybe was not THAT different but still it works so much better in my opinion.
