I love a lot of his older stuff, but the newer books I still have to catch up on. I think The Green Mile is one I loved, it was sad and very good. Bag Of Bones was actually a bit of a ghost and romance novel, very interesting.
Carrie is my favorite from the older books, and I also love Misery, that story had me going. Cell sounds pretty good. I may have to find that and read it. Everything Stephen King is very good. He not only does horror but he also does romance an suspense.

I'd say "Hearts In Atlantis" would be my favorite book of his. Probably the most emotionally satisfying and human book I've read of his. Bittersweet and heartbreaking. I'm about 770 pages into "IT" which is also a very good book. Just wish you could have edited it a little bit. It's over 1000 pages. When the guy writes, he certainly writes.


myLot reputation of 63/100. kissableroo (363)   ranked 18 out of 123 in stephen king books  2 years ago

He sure does lol another book of his with alot of pages in is The Stand took me ages to read that one,was worth it though.Thanks for responding.

I'm a great fan of his older works. Sadly I haven't read much of his stuff for the last 10 years.

I love Eyes of the Dragon, did he continue it?

Very hard to pick one, my favs are:

It
Needful Things
The Bachman Books
The Dark Tower Series
The Dark Half
The Talisman

And others I'm sure, just can't think of their titles atm. `~smile~~Tink


myLot reputation of 63/100. kissableroo (363)   ranked 18 out of 123 in stephen king books  2 years ago

I never read eyes of the dragon i'll have to look out for it.thank you for your response.

I like his early novellas best. "Shawshank Redemption" and "Apt Pupil" are stand-outs for me. I also love his autobiogrophy and writing guide "On Writing" so much that I've now read it three times!:) I hate to say something insensitive, but even though I have enjoyed many of his books, I do NOT enjoy his most popular novels which tend to get highly mystical. I was never so disappointed as when I read The Stand which started out so intriguing and wound up pitting angels and demons against each other...[oh, brother!!!] I understand he best known for his horror stories, but in my opinion, King's atypical, character-based stories, such as "Misery" and "Dolores Caliborne" are among his best.


myLot reputation of 63/100. kissableroo (363)   ranked 18 out of 123 in stephen king books  2 years ago

I know what you mean,old time books like 'Misery' and 'Shawshank Redemption cant be beat and will always be on the list of his best,thanks for your response.

My fav King book is The Eyes of the Dragon. Mostly because it was the first Stephen King book I purchased when I was a teen.

Honestly, I really don't like Stephen King. I really didn't know much about who he was until I was fourteen and this weird creepy kid in my class was all obsessive over him. It was rather disturbing. I saw part of the movie "Carrie" when I was fifteen, and it really didn't spark any interest in me. In the last year or two though, my younger sister, Rebekah, who is seventeen, has developed a great interest in him. She has a ton of books by him on her bookshelf at home, and she knows almost every title he's ever come out with by heart. She has a ton of movies of his, some recordings, some actual copies she bought. She just loves him to death and i have no clue why. She tried to get me to watch Pet Semetary with her, but it was just... Not my style.

Thats the thing with stephen king you either like his work or you dont,you cant be forced to like him.thank you for your response.

You know I cant even concentrate of fiction and it has nothing to do with Stephen King--I do love his nonfiction book "ON WRITING: a memoir.." does that count? I would recommend this book to any aspiring writer because it wasnt just boring technique but king's personal reflection, how he started just personal tidbits that were really inspiring.

If I did read fiction by him I would definately check out CELL, The Glass Tower books, the Dark Half, and Dreamcatcher because that movie was just out of control, maybe if I read it I could make some sense of it.

My best friend reads ANYTHING Stephen King and read the Green Mile series religiously and said they were really good but I have to go on the few bits of the movie that i saw and did not like, bad judgement, i know.


myLot reputation of 63/100. kissableroo (363)   ranked 18 out of 123 in stephen king books  2 years ago

I havent read 'ON WRITING:a memoir' will have to keep my eyes open for it.thanks for responding.

The only book by Stephen King that I really LOVE would be The Green Mile. The Talisman was okay... but the Green Mile was awesome, as was the movie for it.


myLot reputation of 63/100. kissableroo (363)   ranked 18 out of 123 in stephen king books  2 years ago

I have to agree,usually when they make a movie out of a book its never as good,but the green mile movie was just as good as the book if not a little better.thanks for responding.

The Dark Tower series is my all time favorite closely followed by Pet Cemetery. I am a crazy Stephen King fan and up until my basement flood in 2005 I owned everything he ever wrote in first edition, can't say it was all in hard cover because not all his books where printed in hard cover but they were all in original cover. After the flood I lost the whole collection to water damage and decided that while replacing it was important to me, getting my family a good family van with the pay out was even more important to us. I am still so sad over the loss but I did what was best for my kids.


myLot reputation of 63/100. kissableroo (363)   ranked 18 out of 123 in stephen king books  2 years ago

I'm so sorry to hear the loss of your amazing collection,i would've been devastated,but you did what any normal parent would do and thats the best for their children.Thanks for responding.Roo
