Erin!!! Did you see this!?!
We agree on something else!
No, it didn't take that long, I have a set procedure for such things. I'll do the same with that other thread about the least liked novel, probably tomorrow.wow jean that must of took some time thank you
im sad nobody else picked the Darkhalf
As far as the Darkhalf is concerned, it's certainly one of my favorite. In my personal top five, the top four are indisputable (It, The Stand, Black House, Desperation), while the fifth is subject to change. Now it's Misery, but might become The Dark Half, Needful Things, or The Dead Zone next time.
That was the main reason why I compiled the list, to see what alliances would be created.Erin!!! Did you see this!?!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jean, as always you are the consumate "librarian".
I do agree that the # 5 book is subject to change. Where
for instance did I come up with Rage? I did enjoy the book,
but was surprized to see it on my on compulation list.
PS. It maybe that my drive to work that day was more
frustrating than usual, and I had a bit of rage myself.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Nice work, sai-Librarian.

Lady, these are supposed to be Stephen King (non-DT) books! I agree that your non-King selections are excellent, by the way!
John
1 - The Stand (one of my top ten fav period!)
2 - The Shinning
3 - It
4 - The Talisman
5 - Tommyknockers (don't ask I don't know, I just like it)
Have not read BlackHouse yet.
Read Black House. Right now. Drop out of school and just read it. No, turn the TV off. Put the hot pocket back in the freezer. The dog can fend for itself. Overcome your bodily functions. Just read it.
hear, hear!!!

That good huh?!
Since I have not read 'The Talisman' since its week of release would it be beneficial to read it again first?
Aurora - i don't think a re-read of Talisman before Black House is needed, so long as you remember the main elements of Talisman. what you might enjoy is a re-read AFTER you finish Black House. i agree with ryan, drop everything and go read it.
Strongly seconded.

Hmmm.... Ok.

1) The Stand complete and uncut
2) The Stand original
3) Dead Zone
4) Pet Cemetery (Scared the shit out of me!)
5) Different Seasons
I would love to see frank darbonet try his hand at adapting breathing methods. I would hope it was more like the green mile and shawshank, as i must admit a large dissatisfaction with the MIST.
I'm nearly there, I put this in my original post:Erin!!! Did you see this!?!
We agree on something else!
Even a top 5's quite hard...and subject to change, I mean, I'd like to put Firestarter in there aswell - I think thats highly underrated.
1.IT = has to be my favourite book period only read the book about 3 years ago and its so much better than the tv film since then iv read it more than ten times
2.Pet sematary= great characters, really puts a shiver up ur spine and finally a character in a book that would do what id have done (come on ever heard of 3rd times the charm :p)
3.the eyes of the dragon=when i first read this found it subpar fantasy since then i read the whole thing in a few hours and couldnt put it down great to see another side of RF
4.the shining=for obvious reasons :p
5.desperation= this was a hard one to pick i was gonna pick the stand but the "you have the right to remain silent im going to kill you you have a right to an attorney" line had me rollin about for days its so monty python
I haven't really read enough to have five top non-Dark Tower books, but I particularly wanted to give one of them honorable mention.
Insomnia--LOVED it! I couldn't put it down, which I can only also say about the Dark Tower books themselves!
Anyway, I suppose I could do three non-Dark Tower books, but five will have to wait until I've actually read more. I'm not going to count the movies I've seen based on his works until I've actually read the written originals.
1. Insomnia
2. The Shining
3. The Eyes of the Dragon
