    Default How much Stephen King have you read?

    Here's a rather interesting quiz that someone on the SKMB posted:

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzma...-have-you-read

    I scored 72 out of the 72.

    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.

    I have 68. Haven't read the baseball books (probably will never read them) and haven't finished On Writing or Danse Macabre.
    Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.

    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.

    Because they both were released as standalone ebooks (like Riding the Bullet).

    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.

    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

    Brother Bear: you are missing a couple of small gems... save "On Writing."

    I got a 66. I cannot get through "Thinner." I have made 2 attempts.

    I question this...poll as it leaves out at least "Little Sisters."

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    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.
