I checked out Everything's Eventual from Libby, and I can't find 1408. All I see are these options:

Hello all

I am poor at.moment and can only.order 1 book.

I'm choosing one of the big boys.

Should I buy under the dome or tommyknockers?

Thanks

I live in the bush in Queensland along the eastern coast of Australia. When I read these books late at night and hear a loud thud or noise it makes me jump lol. Damn fkn possums 😂

Hey there. I've been getting into King's books and I think I'm going to explore this whole multiverse to a fuller extent. So I'm going to read The Talisman, Black House, and the Dark Tower books. In what order should I read the books to best avoid spoilers/enjoy the world that unfolds? I get there's preference, don't get me wrong, but I want to make sure I do it the best I can.

Also keeping publication date in mind, here's the deal. Do I read The Dark Tower books first, then the Talisman and Black House? Or the other way around? Or, for example, because the Talisman was released in 1984, do I read it in between Dark Towers 1 and 3? Sorry, yeah it's a handful but we're talking a whole multiverse here, and boy, I don't know what the hell I'm doing lmao. One last obvious thing, please do avoid spoilers or hints as good as you can; going in blind is my goal. Thanks!

Firestarter or something? Have a friend who wants to start reading, and wants to find a good starter book. What do you guys think?

Haha so this is kind of random, and I'm guessing it happened because I was organizing my collection two days ago.

I only own 2 SK hardcovers - the rest are mostly old paperbacks that my dad handed down to me and they were his godmother's before that (the hardcovers were also his, but anywaaay)

So, I'm currently reading The Green Mile, and IRL, the first few pages were coming undone and hanging on by a thread. I read them carefully and the rest of the book was fine so I haven't had an issue since then. But in my dream, they kept ripping off completely. Then, I'd get frustrated, move onto the next book and the same would happen (the worst example was my Duma Key copy that had the cover rip off IRL and in my dream, and that was a relatively new copy I got at a second hand fair 😭)

Next, in my dream, I decided okay, since this keeps happening, I'll read Dolores, which is one of the two hard covers I own and it's in relative prestine condition. THE PAGES SEPARARED FROM THE BOOK AS WELL. Then, I woke up and all was good haha

thanks for listening me ramble about my random dream

I’ve recently been bringing this book with me to read whenever I get a moment to read a page or twenty.. people noticing what I was reading would tell me they loved the book (or the movie) and excitedly so. Not wanting spoilers I let them know I’d not seen the movie and this was my first read-through.

Today the book grabbed hold and I couldn’t put it down until it was done. The pace of the story seemed to shift and even as I expected some of what happened in the end I was definitely thrown for a surprising loop in the last page..

I can certainly see why people appreciate this short story.. Bravo Stephen King, bravo!

A really quick question to anyone who has finished YLID and Cujo - should I have read Cujo before I read Rattlesnakes?

If you live in Los Angeles, head over to THE OPEN BOOK bookstores. They’ve got tons of King first edition, many in “like new” condition.

So I’m having a hard time deciding. As the title says I’m on a tight budget this summer and can only order one of these: Different Seasons, Duma Key, Hearts in Atlantis, or Misery.

I just finished The Talisman, loved it, but I need a break from Jack before diving into the sequel. Which of the ones I listed above should I go for to get the most bang for my buck? If it helps, my favourite by King is 11/22/63 and wish I could read that one for the first time again, miss that feeling of really sinking into that world.

I'm reading his books chronologically, and he usually has some mention of pee every couple books.

This book? Jumping Jehoshaphat, everyone is constantly peeing, holding pee, on their way to pee, pissing in fear.

Did he write this book while he was treating a urinary tract infection or something?

I go to at least one library every week, and today the out of town one had this on their donation/sale shelf. I have a new copy, but I grabbed it anyways for the collection, even though I’m running out of room for books.

I’ve yet to read it, and hasn’t seen this edition before. I have, however, seen the movie and read Rattlesnakes. I watched it on VHS back in the 90s.

I like the cover.

The only change I had on me was 15 cents, so I donated that and grabbed this and a Clive Cussler for my grandpa. However, I did pay a $7 late fee.

The True Knot are a bunch of vampires who maintain their youth and status by draining the life essence out of young, talented people. At a surface level, people could draw comparisons to conspiracy theorist talks about the elite and adrenochrome.

But the idea of a bunch of retirees seeing the younger generations as a consumable resource as they hedonistically enjoy semi-retirement in an RV convoy could also be seen as a criticism, even a heavy handed one, against the babyboomer generation.

What's your thoughts on this?

Hi guys, I’ve been trying to find this one video of a speach Mr King gives about a short story he is writing about how people who own RV’s are secretly vampires. Anyone have any ideas? Can’t find it anywhere. Thanks

So, The Long Walk has been confirmed this year to be adapted. When will filming start?

In the spirit of finishing “The Dark Half” and completing all of his 80’s publications tell me your favorite of them. Mine is “Pet Sematary”. :)
