Only 54 for me.
72 out of 72 for me too, not sure why they has some short stories mixed in. -K
65
actually, 66, because I fully intend to finish Mr.Mercedes. This figure is not very likely to grow, however, until Mr.King writes something else. Maybe I'll add Throttle sooner or later, but the other five are two baseball books, and three I could never finish, and don't think I will.
Which ones couldn't you finish, Jean? And why?
I have 68. Haven't read the baseball books (probably will never read them) and haven't finished On Writing or Danse Macabre.
65
Thanks, mods, for moving this here. I wasn't sure where to post it.

All those except Faithful and Regulators. Not sure why UR and In the Tall Grass got a mention but something longer like The Little Sisters of Eluria didn't. Oh well.
lol what if you cant remember? :D
Full list for me.
oh, but you know http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ear_wink-1.gif
1. The Running Man. Was reading it on the plane, and when the flight was over, there still were 20 or so pages left. At home, another two or three books were waiting for me, so I picked those up instead, to find out later that I irretrievably lost interest towards TRM.
2. The Green Mile. Was reading it in Paris, all the time dreaming to buy some other book instead. As soon as found another book in my favorite bookstore at St.Michel, abandoned TGM forever (more than halfway through)
3. On Writing. This one was just so boring and pointless that I lay it aside as soon as I fully realized it wasn't going to get any better (about one third in)
In the Tall Grass was a magazine appearance first which IMO makes it even less qualified for this list than LSoF which appeared in an actual book. Among other authors, not rock stars and ads for this and that. And it's still uncollected. And it's not a collaboration.
52 for me (after I finish Mr. Mercedes).
I'm surprised I only got 46!
What is even more surprising is that I cant really remember if I have read all of the early novels or not. I think I may have but memory is foggy. I will put an * in front of those I cant remember. It may be I read them so young my recollection has faded.
So here is my "to be read list"
Carrie*
Salem's Lot*
The Shining*
Night Shift*
The Dead Zone*
Danse Macabre*
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon*
Riding the Bullet
Wolves of the Calla
Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower
Faithful
Lisey's Story
Blaze
Just After Sunset
UR
Throttle
Blockade Billy
Mile 81
11/22/63
The Wind Through the Keyhole
A Face in the Crowd
In the Tall Grass
Joyland
Doctor Sleep
Mr. Mercedes
56 for me
43. Still a bunch of early ones that I've held off, saving them for last.
Only 39 for me!
Haven't really read any new stuff... Under the Dome was the newest one, I think
71 and 3/4.
(Still reading Mr Mercedes - would have finished it on the plane, but I have a serious Breaking Bad addiction right now)
Little Sisters wasn't published as a standalone book and it's part of Everything's Eventual.
In the The Tall grass isn't a standalone either. It's just one of many uncollected stories, nothing more. It's not even an e-book original.
If you're considering book format as a qualifier for the list, than also missing are Guns, an e-book original as well as uncollected.
My point is that that list is pretty arbitrary and including a single short story among his books (and e-book originals, even if one is missing) is pretty odd.
In the Tall Grass was published as a standalone ebook. I'm not saying it's a perfect list but I can see their logic, which is strange, granted.
BOMB SHOW... if you can... watch the show CH:OS:EN. It is on Crackle or you can download it. I will tell you this... it may be the best thing I have ever watched TV wise... There are 3 seasons, 6 episodes each at 22mins long. I killed it in a night cause I could not stop... CANNOT wait for more!
