My first SK book was The Dead Zone. The movie was not terrible but nowhere near as good as the book. I thought it was interesting when they made a TV series out of it. It really veered from the book but was still interesting.

I remember when I first heard about the tv show and found out Anthony Michael Hall was the main character! I havent read that book, but maybe I should...

About a year ago I read Needful Things for the first time and I thought it was a good book too even though its been around. I typically find that older books like movies arent very good and played out, but I quite liked NT

I've really wanting to re-read Little Sisters of Eluria (Is that how you spell it? hahahah), but I cant seem to find an e-copy of it and that book seems to have disappeared. What makes it worse is that both me and my husband have/had it

THanks! I think I have it named something else because when I click on Little Sisters the story is Network Error and I'm sure thats not how the story goes

It is a short story and it's been a few months since I read it but I'm pretty sure there's a little more plot than that. LOL

The Stand was my first King book
Like Counter Culture Shock on Facebook
my 1st "King" book? well that's easy. it was in (1990) & the REASON i remember the year was cause my brother put my name in the cover on the inside of the book & it's still there. i bought a used copy of "Salem's Lot" the paperback of it & it's a 1st printing! but it's not in very good condition actually. & what's funny is that i didn't get around to reading it until i was in high school! they had the the paperback of it, but the cover was
made into a hardback. if that makes no sense to you or anyone than let me explain it or try to a little better. my high school would have paperback book covers such as "Salem's Lot" for example keep the cover & my guess tape or glue it on a hard back book. even though if it had been bought in a store it would have been a paperback book. it didn't have the cover of the hardback well any edition of the hardback but the cover of the 1st edition paperback version with the black cover & the blood dripping from the mouth.
i hope that helps a little bit on my explanation. i read it than cause actually it was in better condition than MY paperback version of it! he he
My first King book was The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and I only read it because it was assigned reading for me in my high school psychology class (turns out the teacher was a huge SK fan). After that I went to Carrie, Salem's Lot and The Shining. That was in 1999 or 2000 so I've been reading ever since, although I haven't read as many of his books as I'd have like to.
TGWLTG as assigned reading? That's cool.

IT.
I was eleven, and not allowed to read it, so I snuck it out of my older sister's room, replaced it on her bookshelf with another book with a similar cover, and read it in four days that I had strep throat and had to stay home from school. Reading it at the same age as the Losers appear in 1958 added a touch of reality to it; I remember thinking at the time that King wrote eleven year olds very well. And now I have a habit of returning to read IT again whenever I'm sick.
Obviously, at eleven, there were lots of things I didn't understand, but I loved the flavor of the book. It was, by far, the most adult thing I'd ever read, and I don't mean that in terms of sex (although it certainly was). It was the scope of it, the number of different POV's, the large cast of characters and the horror of this haunted town, its kids, and this child killing monster. Basically, after reading IT, all juvenile fiction (esp. the Christopher PiIke/R.L. Stine books that were so popular at the time) lost its appeal for me. The only other King books that have fascinated me as much were The Stand and The Dark Tower series.
As I recall it, Pet Sematary was the first book I read by Stephen King. It scared the crap out of me too, as I couldn't have been much more than 11 at the time. I have been hooked on SK ever since though, both scary and not so scary novels.

First was Christine and its still my favorite.
I enjoyed this post, Jean, being something of a word person, too. It also made me re-examine 'Salem's Lot as a title, which brought to mind a third meaning in English, that of a "lot" as a grouping of objects or people (and something that is no doubt very familiar to the collectors on here from its usage in auctions). In the case of the novel, a host of freshly-turned vampires!

This is easy it was the Gunslinger and I was eleven or twelve years old. This was one of the few book on my aunts book case that she wouldn't allow me to borrow. So being a kid I couldn't wait to sneak this off the shelf and that's exactly what I did.
I remember when I read this book I was completely and utterly enthralled in the story and couldn't put it down. Even to this day that first reading was like walking into a completely new world and really opened my eyes to what story telling should be.
