Of the ones you mentioned, if I were to choose a favorite, it would be The Dead Zone. From there, I would say Firestarter then Christine and EoW. I loved The Dead Zone.
What are you currently reading?

Wow, Tommy, tough call and all up to personal preference I'm sure. But of those three, my list would be TDZ, Christine, and Firestarter. I'm about 100 pages out from finishing EOW and love it so far. I'd knock it out first if you have the time then move on to the classics ya listed. If you liked Mr. Mercedes, you'll love EOW IMO. FK I didn't care all that much for.Originally Posted by Tommy
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Great minds, Paul. Loved Christopher Walken in the film, loved the book twice as much if not more.

Yeah the book is great. Just such a sad story though at the heart of it. I enjoyed the movie, but agree that the book is so much better.Great minds, Paul. Loved Christopher Walken in the film, loved the book twice as much if not more.
I haven't read a lot of old King. To be honest I'm not a fan of most of it. It's 50/50 for me at best. Dead Zone and Christine are two I haven't read yet.
I'm about 350 pages into IT. It's a drama about kids that happens to feature an evil clown demon. The story could practically exist without Pennywise at this point lol.

Hey thanks guys! I will probably read End of Watch next just to finish up the trilogy as soon as it shows up at the library (I need the large print editions these days) and then TDZ.
Mattrick, It is my favorite King novel, you are in for a wild ride!
I think those are some of my least favorite. If I had to choose, though, I think I'd rank them: Christine, Firestarter, The Dead Zone ("best" to "worst"). Almost halfway through End of Watch.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Thanks Ricky!
Dead Zone Dead Zone Dead Zone.
I love that book so much that I've read it multiple times.
Just finished City of Mirrors. LOVED IT! Now finishing the last book in the Wayward Pines seriesLOVIN IT!
HELP ME FIND
Insomnia #459
ANY S/L #459
Reading The Passage by Cronin (its really good) and The crippled God (Erikson) which is also really good
The Dead Zone, hands down. Very timely these days, too. Firestarter is a great and fun sci-fi romp. Christine was okay but nothing spectacular.
I got almost to the end of Firestarter a few years back and never finished it. For some reason, it never grabbed me. I really ought to give it another shot one of these days.
If I told you guys which SK novels I have yet to read ya'll would kill me.
Now you gotta tell us!
Agreed. You can't make a statement like that and not tell usNow you gotta tell us!
I have a number of classic and not so classic King left to read.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I'm still on my quest to read/re-read all of King's novels and short story collections. Been about 2 1/2 years now and I've read 56 books. I have 12 left and currently reading IT.
I'm insanely jealous that you still have so much unread King to consume.
But, like everyone else said, spill it! Which books?

It looks like the next one I will read is EOW because my hold request at the library came through! TDZ will come after that.

Mine is infinite, it's weird but I find it kind of comforting that I will never be able to read all the books that I want in this one lifetime. There will always be something waiting after I finish the book I am currently reading...
