Does anyone else love Stephen Kings books?? I Certainly do. If you have read his Dark Tower Series, I want to know!!! I've been trying to find someone to talk with about them ever since I finished them last summer!

So far I've only read 'Carrie', but I'm planning on reading more!

I read Salem's Lot and Needful Things....both highly disturbing for my eleven-year-old mind.
His books are great, but his movies are...ick.

Salem's Lot was my favorite book until I read his Dark Tower series (which I highly suggest). I was soooo disappointed when I saw the new version of the movie...

I didn't like 'Salem's Lot'(book or movie), and I think the movie Carrie permanently scarred me as a kid. But I love his books more than anything. My favorites go thusly:
Dreamcatcher The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Desperation another one that I can't think of the name.
;D *huggles uber-creepyness* He's uglier than anything, but he's one of the greatest writers.

Forget the other books. Read the Dark Tower Series. Trust me, if I can have them collectively read within a month, you can do it in a couple of weeks.

I HAVE to read the other books. and it took me a month just to read Wizard and Glass.... it'll take at *least* that to read the Gunslinger. I know.. I tried.

The Gunslinger is a pain. It's sooo much more boring to read than the others. I never put any of the books down...I just kept on reading.

Carrie; quite possibly the greatest work of horror ever written.
On a side-note, it's actually pushed me into trying to see whether I can use TK. So far, no luck, but I'll damned if I stop trying.

I think I'd like to have pyrokinesis.... I cannot remember however if that was a Stephen King book, or a Stephen King movie. I know there's one incidence where he didn't adapt a movie from a book, but just wrote the movie straight out... I just can't remember which one it was... or was that a mini-series?

Rose Red is the one you're thinking about. That was never a Stephen King book. It was someone else's book, and then Stephen wrote the screenplay.

That's the one about the house, right? I didn't know that someone else wrote that. Hmmm... learn something new everyday.
I think the pyrokinesis one is (aptly named) Firestarter, right?
