Number of times R_of_G? Any idea?
That is what I am curious about.
Here is my list to the best of my memory.
The Stand--2-3 times
Carrie--2 times
The Dead Zone--2 times
Cujo--1
pet semetary--2 times
Needful things--1
Night Shift--1 and half, still reading for the second time
Skeleton Crew--1
Different Seasons-- have yet to finish all
The Shining is the one that I have read the most. 3-4 times, watched the movie several times
4, I think.
I've read The Dead Zone, The Talisman, Eyes of The Dragon, and Desperation quite a few times.
I am home now, and looking at my SK books, I also have
Pet Sematary, read 2x , and Danse Macabre, never finished.
Also there are pb copies of The Running Man, Roadwork, &
The Mist. Pretty good list before from memory tho'.
Along with Sai Kings books sharing that section of
shelves are Robin Furths concordance 1 + complete,
and Bev Vincents Road to DT.

You amaze me guys... to read a book 20 times. That's something. Whenever I reread a book there is a little voice in the background advising that I should read something new because there are so many good books out there... but thank God that little voice shuts up quite quickly.
There are some books I have read 5 times or so but they are not from King.
Roland would have understood.
there's lots of books I've read 20 times or more, but I didn't learn English early enough to have read any King book such a lot of times. It's five or six times for It, three or four for The Stand, and at least two for any other King novel I've managed to get (except those I've listed elsewhere as my least favorite ones, like The Eyes or Lisey's Story). Those figures will grow as I grow older...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Stand maybe about 6 times and IT over a dozen times.
20 @ a time?
I like my books, like I
like my men,
1 at a time !!

I've read the Talisman 3 or 4 times.
I've read IT 3 or 4 times.
I've read Different Seasons 3 or 4 times.
I do sometimes have two going at once but not very often. If I were to count audios (which i really don't), I would have three going at once occasionally. Mostly though, I am reading one and listening to one on my commute.
I admire your dedication to reading Brice...20 at once! How can you keep storylines straight?
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

Simple...I can't. Well, of course that's not true. Within a couple pages of picking a book back up it comes back to me what was going on. I usually don't read quite that many at once these days (since the internet has swallowed my soul), but anyway I've just always read alot...everything I could get my hands on.

If the Dark Tower is being judged as one book and I stood it up against Salem's Lot and The Stand they beat The Dark Tower. But still, DT remains King's lulling green flame, drawing me like a cat watching the flame that cooks the witch's brew. A fantastic flame that drew me in and still keeps me in King's universe.
But I have a hard time choosing between Salem's Lot and The Stand. They're both great books. I've always loved gothic horror and Salem's Lot is my favorite vampire story to date. But The Stand is my favorite apocalyptic yarn. The buildup, action, and drama are totally different but just as enjoyable as the other. They're neck and neck. If someone who simply had to know for reasons of national security waterboarded me for an answer I'd pick Salem's Lot completely on the grounds of seniority.
