I know someone who had a collection of animal penis's....
Brian, I agree! But life is strange and strange people make it interesting!
Hello everyone!
How did you discover the Dark Tower? I actually just started reading Stephen King after The Shining, so that journey is still ahead
Who is your favorite character? Jon Snow?
What is your favorite book? I grew up obsessing with Jules Verne, Dumas, Sabatini, Haggard - and now I am a huge GRRM fan along with Zafon and Perez-Reverte
How old are you? 42
Where are you from? Portland Maine. And its only 2 hours away from King's house. but originally from Ukraine
do you have a nickname? jagermeister. As my real name kind of sounds like that
how did you find this site? Google, while doing research on collecting books
Welcome Jagermeister!
Trust me. I do this all the time.

And that was five. Now you can PM and start threads and whatnot.

The big pieces I was waiting on arrived. https://imgur.com/a/fGIMX
Like I said, it's a smaller collection size-wise but I have a narrow focus. Haha.
Currently in the market for a 1st UK Red Rising which isn't all torn to crap.
Valhall, that's a courageous statement! Did you fall out of love with his early stuff also? I mean the writing style is somewhat different!
And, welcome to the site my friend...
Thankee Sai.
I still enjoy some of the earlier books and can still appreciate the quality of the writing. I may be completely off-base but I've come to feel that his writing began to suffer when he cut back on his use of psychadelics (haha). Feel free to correct me on the timeline if I'm wrong. I hated UtD, 11/22/63, and all the books after Wizard and Glass in the DT series.
I can still go back and enjoy The Shining but I prefer Kubrick's version. Misery and It are still something I could read. I enjoyed On Writing. I wouldn't dream of blowing smoke and saying I've ever gotten into King past his entry level works.
Fair enough!! And your right about his style change after his lifestyle change...

Also, any time new members come on board, I feel like the jack-in-the-box from Toy Story 3 when Woody and the gang first meet all the other toys at the day care. "Yay, new toys!"
Well, welcome anyway! I agree, SK has been inconsistent in his later years and I think Doctor Sleep is one of his worst novels to date (ducking before I get someone toss a virtual copy straight at my head!) But, having said that, I think Revival is one of his greatest works with genuine Lovecraftian horror. If you're ever tempted to dip back into later stuff, I'd suggest Revival or maybe Duma Key.
Hated Revival, loved Doctor Sleep. Duma Key is simply awesome. The best of the three listed IMO. I'm also digging the Hodge trilogy so far as well.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
