"Beep Beep Richie."
Very good book. I also enjoyed a lot of his other books. Favorite would have to be It or Christine. Maybe Pet Semetary.

fix'd.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;17503253]Georgie was Bill's brother, wasn't he?[/QUOTE]
Correct.
I've read a ton of his novels, including IT, but because I don't have much time as of recent, I read his short stories. They're fantastic.

It seems like everything he writes is fantastic.
I wouldn't go that far, I read a few that I didn't really like. He does have a lot of good ones though.

Dolores Claiborne is the one book by him I absolutely couldn't stand.

I am yet do discover a book I don't enjoy by him.
Oh god yes I'm reading It right now. Bout three-fourths of the way through. But what the fuck is up with It coming from space millions of years ago?
Also it's been said before but I love the allusions he makes to his other works. Anybody catch how Dick Halloran was in the black military unit that Mike Hanlon's father was in, around the time of the Fire at the Black Spot?
[QUOTE=Owen Lol;17502172]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.[/QUOTE]
I fucking Love IT. it scared the shiz out of me though haha when I read it.
pennywise the clown(:
[QUOTE=arimi;17502665]Twilight is better[/QUOTE]Twilight has never and will NEVER compare to stephen king's work. You, my friend, fail.
I didnt get the movie at all...
at one point, the kids are in school, then this black kid shows them a book, and then one of the kids is nearly molested in the showers at school, and then they go into the forest, and this little girl sees her dad, then they kill it, and it's really a big spider.
then 30 years later, they get attacked by it, and they have to kill it again, and that's where i left off.
all i remember is a clown that tried to molest a child in the shower stalls, and rape a little boy by luring him into the sewers.
I love the movie and I love the book. Movie freaked me the fuck out when I was a little kid though.
IT was the worst fucking movie of my childhood.
Seriously, my pre-existing phobia of clowns made this so fucking awful.

..That is if its mass is equal to or less than that of water...
I finished the Dark Tower series a few weeks ago...God dammit.
So much potential, but I really think he fucked up the last 2 books.
Anyway, I'll add 'It' to my list of books to read.
I don't think the movie was as good as the book.

My friend read that series through High School, although I never got around to reading them myself.
[QUOTE=hamberglar;17502178]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.[/QUOTE]
Plot was weird as fuck in the first one. It made no sense at all if you just jump into the series

The fire at the Black Spot was so beautifully written.
Stephen King is one of the best writters I have ever read.
And the only King I've read so far are 80 pages of "Cell".
I've only seen the made for TV movie/mini-series, which I loved.

You should check them out, the first four are superb...he kind of jumps the shark on the last three.
I think the fact that he wrote the last three in 2 years while the others had at least 3 years in between each screwed it up.
Still, I highly recommend the series.
I saw the movie when I was 7
Ruined a few months of sleep

I think I will check them out. I should start reading an hour before I go to sleep at night. I used to read so much when I was younger, and now I rarely ever do.
Watching the movie at 3rs old = Fuck scary nightmares and fear of clowns til your 17
:(
[QUOTE=arimi;17502266]twilight is better.[/QUOTE]
Bullshit.
I hate how in his mid to later books he repeats himself all the fucking time. It gets annoying how he repeats himself all the fucking time. You know how he just re-words a sentence and then repeats himself all the fucking time, so he can really drive a point home by repeating himself all the fucking time.
Like in Cell where he repeats the name of that fucking song and the characters talking about that fucking song. OVER AND OVER. Or that shoe the girl had.
[QUOTE=Loompa Lord;17503384]He sure knows how to fuck a up a good storyline with a [b]giant alien spider[/b] in the end, that's for sure.
If you've read IT, you know what I'm talking about..[/QUOTE]
[sp]Although IT, wasn't really a spider, only it's physical form on Earth. It's true self was far away, if it could even be considered a true self. Human minds can't comprehend what IT really is anyway.
Though I agree it ruined alot of what made IT special. It's actually kind of funny how that works, IT uses what you fear the most to kill you, in the book they spend most of it trying to remember/figure out what IT really is as it attacks them in whatever they themselves fear, when you, as the reader, are trying to figure out what IT really is and your imagination runs wild with it. I think that was the real genius of IT, and it get's ruined at the end, but he had to do it I guess. Still thought he could of gone with something better though.[/sp]
