'It' was just so boring to me! I couldnt get into it, and the movie sucked balls to. There was like 5 minutes of scary-ness (Tim Curry can work magic!) then it got back to being boring.

I own the book, maybe I should try to read it again.

and yes, Pet Sematary OWNED! I have read it about 30 times, I love it more everytime!

Its so hard to pick a favorite with King.
I love The Dark Tower series,The Stand is amazing,and his short stories rule.Hes my favorite author of all time.

I have to totally agree about the short stories.

Rage
Apt Pupil
The Long Walk
= Pwn

I have just bought "From a Buick 8" but no one of you mention it, so i don't know if it is worth reading? It was the only King-book they had that day.

Right now I am reading Different Seasons. My favorite so far is It, but that will probably change. I've only read about 4 so far...

the stand is my all time favorite book. I really loved all of them but a few.i'm just rereading bag of bones, which i liked a lot

It
Storm Of The Century
The Dark Half
The Stand
Danse Macabre
The Talisman

The Shining
Pet Sematary
Night Shift
Nightmares and Dreamscapes
Skeleton Crew
Desperation
Misery
Firestarter
Needful Things

IT
Tommyknocker
Christine
Dreamcatcher
The Stand
The Shining
Misery
salems lot

carrie (all time fav. book)

forgot Cujo

the only books SK books that I liked were The Stand and Dead Zone. Salem's Lot was ok, but not scary in the least, but it had atmosphere. I couldn't even finish Desperation and Dreamcatcher.

Stephen King is cool!

HIGH PRIEST WISE

Stephern King is amazing if not for him who knows where the horror genre may be

Stephen King is great. I live in the northeast and i know of a lot of the places he writes about. But anyway, Im reading the book "Black House" which is a cooperative work by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Its really good and worth checking out. But all time favorite king novel, definately the shining.

Christine and It. Christine being the better of the 2

i've read most of his books and would have to say 'it' was my favourite. i think king is a genius, i've yet to find any writer who can become each character, make the reader feel as though they know the character personally.
'the stand' was an absolute masterpiece as well. king goes into great detail but is never boring; every bit of information he reveals is relevant to the story.
i enjoyed 'the eyes of the dragon'; it was very unlike anything else he's written.
and i don't think anyone has mentioned 'insomnia' at all. is it because you didn't like it? i found it a very interesting read; i always have to wonder how he comes up with such great stories.

It the movie was worse because so much claymation.:rolleyes:

i liked tim curry as pennywise, but really, the movie doesn't even come close to the book. i liked the movie when i was a little kid, before i'd read the novel, but i can't force myself to sit through it now.

Misery, Needful Things, The Long Walk

green mile owns too

Carrie.

damn straight

:D I like your Ginger Snaps avatar. :cool:

The Dark Half
IT
Storm Of The Century
Green Mile
Dreamcatcher

storm of the ceturey and the green mile

i like your may one that movie was awsome

hmm... The Long Walk

Salem's Lot

The Shining

The Stand: I especially liked the longer version published about 5 yrs ago. This included scenes cut from the original due to the fact King was not a "big" as he is now. The part where Trash meets the man in black has some additional scenes that are very dark. Plus, he has a character with my name: "Nadine, Nadine, I love to love Nadine." This was the first time I had come across a fictional character with my name

It

Desperation

Bag of Bones

I did not like Dreamcatcher, Insomnia or Pet Semitary. My child was the age of the little boy in Pet Semitary when I read it, and it upset me so badly I almost couldn't make myself finish the book.

Actually...I mentioned it (Second post in this thread)...It was a bit too much like Christine...King said that he was beginning to "rip off" himself, can you blame him? I think he 's done pretty much everything...Must be damned near impossible to squeeze anything completely new out of one brain, after all that has already come from it
I mentioned Insomnia, too...It was a bit slower than some of his other works, and pretty long..But...Like his others, still pretty kickass
As for how he comes up with his stories...He says that all of his stories come from his fears and his nightmares...He often wakes up from a nightmare, in the middle of the night, and writes down the details on a pad of paper that he keeps beside his bed for that purpose, just so that he won't forget anything in the morning...He is afraid of rats and flying (he was considering a story that involved a doomed flight, the plane is on the verge of crashing, and killer rats come up from the cargo bay...But, that was before he was nearly killed by that idiot in the van)...He ALWAYS puts in 2 threats, think about it sometime, in every story...The Shining had the obvious, but they also had to deal with the boiler about to blow...Cujo, rabid dog, but the boy also was about to die from asphyxiation, due to asthma, the heat, no way to roll down a window..ALL of his stories have more than one element...Stephen King, amazing horror writer, Master Of The Macabre, also happens to be terrified of the dark
Pet Sematary came after his son Owen was born, that's when the fear of losing a child, and trying to deal with such a loss, came to him
Maximum Overdrive was attribituted to the computer age, his fear that they may make humans obsolete, and his paranoia that they may actually gain some type of "intelligence" of their own
the list goes on forever...All of his nightmares and fears...

yeah


carries still his best:p

THE SHINING

I absolutely LOVED that book, but it's not my favorite. It's my second favorite. It explores an aspect of the Dark Tower that we haven't seen before.

The Shining and The Stand. Both of these books are totally powerful. They took me on a wild ride.

Okay, the Regulatesr, and the Tommyknockers KICKED ALL ASS, no matter what you say. My favorites would DEFFINATLY have to be It, Tommyknockers, (even though poor Pete, *cries*) and and and, *strokes chin in thought* The Shinning, and I think... that could be it... *shrug*

Bag of bones is my fav king book.

1. Salem's Lot
2.The Gunslinger:Dark Tower 1
3 Pet Semetary

YEAh, I LIKE ALL THE SHIT HE WRITES!!

HAIL SATAN!!!
HIGH PRIEST WISE

HAIL SATAN!!
