Obviously Buzzfeed does not take as analytical an eye to their list. (we do that) I'm amused at all the folks who are put off by certain inclusions on the list, which is basically a fluff piece, when all someone did is probably pull up the amazon.com Stephen King catalog and make a list out if it.

Surprised you thought it was so pointless! The first half (autobiography part) was pretty interesting and the second half had a few good quotes and concepts. Though most I already felt I knew from my own experiences. I'm by no means a writer of fiction (at least in book form), but it did help me a little in regards to how I approach future writing tasks.Originally Posted by Jean
As for me, not many, I'm afraid. Only 11. I've read the Dark Tower series, It, Pet Semetary and On Writing. Next up is The Stand. I guess the rest of his books aren't as big?
Sinserely... every time I read anything by King that is not fiction, I have to remind myself that it's the same author I adore and admire, the one who wrote It, The Stand, TDT and all the rest of them.
As for the length of King books, I believe The Stand is the longest! But there are quite a few big ones among others, too.

I've read the entire cannon, except for Doctor Sleep and Mr. Mercedes, both of which are next on my list for the summer.
42. I'm surprised there are that many that I haven't read.
Exactly the same for me. I always feel like I've read a lot of his books, but then I realize how many I haven't yet read.42. I'm surprised there are that many that I haven't read.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Me too. Only 50. I'll have to work on that!
Did you not read the stuff in On Writing that was about King's accident? That stuff is amazing.oh, but you know
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)

There might be some interviews and articles I haven't read and also mr. mercedes, but I've probably read pretty much everything else.
There's a lot in King's catelogue that doesn't interest me. That which does I'll and I haven't read I'll eventually get to. I've read so much King, and re-read so much King that I've needed a break the last few years. It doesn't help I was disappointed with the last two books of his I read which were Under The Dome and Desperation.

No, I never got as far as that part. I might go back to it.

Relax... it's the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
True.
On the plus side, I feel a sense of relief knowing I still have a lot of King books to devour.

My score: "You have read 64 out of 72 on this list!"
Have not read:
The Plant
Faithful
Ur
Throttle
Mile 81 (never heard of it)
A Face in the Crowd (never heard of it)
In the Tall Grass (never heard of it)
Mr. Mercedes (I ordered this from Amazon a month ago but they said "shipping in November")
Are you sure you didn't order REVIVAL?Mr. Mercedes (I ordered this from Amazon a month ago but they said "shipping in November"
That's the one for November.
sk
I pre-ordered both books at the same time quite a while ago, and evidently they plan on shipping both together. I think I pissed them off when I declined their offer to join Amazon Prime. They are holding Mr. Mercedes hostage to punish me!
I'm not that bent out of shape over it. I've got plenty of stuff to read and it's not like the story will go away or get stale.

No one really needs to read "Faithful". It's communist propaganda I say!!!

both The Plant and In the Tall Grass are very good. Ur is nice, but nothing special. Mile 81 is so mediocre it's actually bad.My score: "You have read 64 out of 72 on this list!"
