Hm, I read everything he ever wrote & published between 1973 and 1987 (except for “It”) and nothing at all since.

I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.

Offline I've always thought that Stephen King was a bit overrated, just like James Patterson, but he has written some incredible novels, most notably the Shining and Duma Key.

Offline I used to read him a lot but for some reason just fell out of it. My favorite was The Shining. I read it twice and was totally creeped out both times – even after seeing the movie first! What a great book.

This good – first I saw the movie and thought it was great.
Then I read the book and was so blown away by it that I was mad at the people who made the movie because they changed so much from the book.
Even the second time I read it, I was so engrossed in one part that when my mother called me to dinner (I was 19) it startled me so much, I yelled out.
It is very good.

Offline I haven't read Stephen King, yet. But tomorrow I plan on going to the library and possibly checking out one of his books. The older I've gotten the more intrigued I've become about his writing.

Offline Yes, I'm a King fan! So far, “The dark half” has been my favorite. Shining is so different from the movie; the woman is the main heroine in it. I actually prefer the movie.
I have one part of the tower series (unfortunately it's not the first one since my grandma gave it to me). I can't remember which one; it has that gross -i'm pregnant with two people and an alien-kind of thing.
I like his books because they are not simply about horror, they tell more about human nature. Misery doesn't have any supernatural elements, but it's still-or because of that- engrossing.

Offline He’s one of my favorite authors! I saw the movie Christine and wanted to read some of his stuff. The next time I went to my local second hand bookshop (which sadly closed recently), I luckily found Christine! Amazing book, probably my second favorite of the few I’ve read. Like minime said, my favorite is the Dark Half, great book, never a dull moment, some very disturbing ones, 
but never dull. The idea behind it is so good too. The last section if the book is so tense, can’t be put down! (A nail-biter 
) Ive also read Thinner, that one was a little slower, not as enjoyable, but still good. It was written under a pen name (Richard Bachman) so maybe he was going for a different style. What’s funny is Dark Half was loosely based on how someone found out about his pen name and told people.
Because I got the books second hand, a lot of his big stuff wasnt there, I got a few of his novels for my birthday (namely the Shining and Carrie), but haven’t had time to read them yet.

Offline I’ve read another half-dozen or so of his post-1988 books in the years since my previous post, mostly because my sister’s recommendation, all of them fair to really good. And only about half of them are “horror”, and they’re inferior to “Dolores Claiborne” and “Under the Dome” and “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon”. Really enjoyed those three. King’s prose is hit-or-miss and his dialogue has always been pretty lame, but he’s a master of suspense and a great storyteller.

Offline @vonbontee, I’ve wanted to read Under the Dome for a while, but have a pile of books waiting to be read as it is. I agree with the hit or miss… even though I still enjoyed it, I consider Thinner to be the miss I read.
