I hope all of you know who Stephen King is, he is #17th best selling author of all time. Sales over 350 million books.
Just yesterday, I finished what I think is his best book, "IT". I was absolutely hooked on the novel, it was all I though about, and all I did. Just read. This is what I think the best book I will ever read. It is just so realistic, the friendship the characters build is so real you almost forget it's fiction. I have read many other of his books, but this one is the best by a country mile.
He is definitely my favorite author, by far.
Cool. I'm about halfway through the novel right now.
If you haven't read The Dark Tower you haven't read enough Stephen King.
I preferred The Stand to IT, but it was a great book and a pretty good film

Enjoy it my friend. It's absolutely fantastic.
Only seen the trailer to the movie. They all float :(
I have only read his book Desperation and some other. He's a really great writer, my favorite.
The Stand, The Dark Tower series, Insomnia.
All other amazing books I highly recommend.

"IT" the movie wasn't nearly as good as the novel, but saying it was. Would be saying a hell of a lot.

Is that all yours?
[QUOTE=JesterUK;17502259]I love how King makes references to his other stories[/QUOTE]
It's more like everything happens in the same world. Most of it, anyway.
For complete understanding, refer to the Dark Tower series.

Desperation was the first King book I read

Same here. Read it in sixth grade.
Can anyone say....Salem's Lot? :D

Never seen it. But most of Stephen Kings book adaptions tend to be bad. Cujo and The Shining is one of the few exceptions that are great.
pennywise lives

The Stand would have been good if Randall Flagg didn't have the biggest fucking mullet in existence.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;17502299]pennywise lives[/QUOTE]
Pennywise, fucking awesome. SO fucking awesome. Cujo, Pennywise, Christine, all fucking classics. I love that guy.
I fucking loved the movie Needful Things actually. I have seen a lot of movies without knowing they are adapted from Stephen Kings books :v:
Not related, but i just read "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and im going to read "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest" by Stieg Larson, and, like many other people, think its one of the first great books of the century.
A little discription of the first book:
[quote]A middle-aged journalist, Mikael Blomkvist, publishes the magazine Millennium in Stockholm. He is hired one day by Henrik Vanger, the aged former CEO of a group of companies owned by a wealthy dynasty, in order to chronicle the family history. His real mission, however, is to solve a cold case - the disappearance, some forty years previously, of Vanger's great-niece when she was sixteen. Blomkvist encounters "the old Miss Marple closed-room scenario" with all the wealthy suspects marooned on the family estate on an island; a village we grow familiar with, full of hostile locals peering out from behind their curtains".[1] The real main character of the story is Lisbeth Salander, an asocial punk who has been victimized by authorities throughout her whole life. By accident she meets Blomkvist and the unlikely couple become another classic detective pair where the hunters become the hunted.[/quote]
Its the best book ive read, and I read alot. Its impossible to not love it, since it features a violent, anti-social but extremely inteligent girl with piercings and tattos, which is a hacker and bisexual. READ IT.
Stephen King is good but I just hate how all his books follow the same formula, it's become like an assembly line. The stories and characters are always good but just told too similar to one another.
only King book I don't like is The Eyes of the Dragon
[QUOTE=arimi;17502266]twilight is better.[/QUOTE]
Yes. :v:
You heard when Stephen said she can't write? Huge uproar of fan girls. Pathetic, they only love it because of that faggot Robert Pattinson.
I only saw the movie. :(
movie was good
but nothing in comparison to the novel
