I am not too interested in his ramblings but 39 reissues sounds interesting. It'd be great to get some retro style hardcovers of his novels. The Vintage paperbacks you can get currently are all dogs.
Reading A Scanner, Darkly by Philip K. Dick.
I hate that I relate to this book so much, but it also makes it fascinating. The reason I hate relating to it is that it's full of bottom feeding drug...
Well as far as a lot of literary types are concerned, the weirder and more symbolic a book, the better. I don't fall for that trick, I like to understand what I've read. SH5 takes the most work to...
Slaughterhouse 5 is by far the most strangely written KV novel. Only Breakfast of Champions really gives it a run for its money in terms of out and out weird. For more normal KV books which are...
Stephen King:
1. Waste Lands
2. Wizard and Glass
3. Wolves of the Calla
4. Song of Susannah
5. The Dark Tower
5.1 Little Sisters of Eluria
6. From a Buick 8
7. Cell
8. It
I am pretty sure it's stated that the rest of the world was hit just as bad and that in other areas there were similar groups of emigrants.
Halfway through Three Stigmata which I just started a few hours ago and so far it's probably one of the best he ever wrote (and one of my favorite books of all time more than likely). It's crazy I...
I am about half-way through Tolkien's Children of Hurin. It is rather anticlimactic since I've read at least two other versions of the story in the past but the book I have at least has really nice...
That's highly discouraging to here about Breakers at that point. It totally contradicts the novels but I am sure I don't have to explain why. Maybe I just can't enjoy other people's imaginations...
This is good news for me. As much as I love King I don't collect books for any reason other than to have a nice reader copy (preferably in hardback). Having to wait an extra month to read a baseball...
I imagine if there was to be a follow-up it would be as abstractly related as Black House is to The Talisman. There is no reason to make a sequel to It unless further tying in Derry to Mid-World is...
I'll read it, or at least buy it, as long as they keep making those nice hardcover collections. That said, I don't really like the comics but have an innate loyalty to Dark Tower stuff.
Thanks to Pablo pointing out the Library of America editions on the other thread I just got the first two in the mail today (one was a first printing, the other a fifth). Very classy treatment for...
The 19 business was definitely clunky in its retro-induction. It was kinda stupid even in the books where it's actually from.
I like to keep Flagg in my mind as just a bit more than a Man, not...
:panic: Oh, no! Someone should have tagged that! Big, fat spoiler! :cry: Sorry, dude.[/QUOTE]
Well, I think it'll be ok. As long as it's a horror novel from King I suspect pretty much any...
It's very encouraging to see such high marks for this novel. I found a like-new copy of the hard back for $8 in December but haven't put it in the queue to read yet. It might be the next King I read,...
I really enjoy this book but it seemed over-long both times I read it. Also both times I felt a depression or emptiness after finishing it. Four stars from me, and of course I will read it again many...
I've been re-reading LOTR recently and thought I'd bump this thread. This is the third or fourth time reading them, but the first time in over ten years, and since the films came out. While I loved...
I'd glance over it there's ever a collection of all of King's non-fiction in one easy place. Otherwise, no thanks. I even like the Red Sox well enough, but baseball only really interested me as a...
