Hello,
My name is Kelly. I live in a small town in PA just outside of Pittsburgh. I used to live in Alexandria, VA. My mother, God rest her soul, was the biggest Stephen King fan I had ever met in my life. Because of this, I have been reading Stephen King book since I began to read novels, which was an early age, probably about 10 or 11. I love everything Stephen King and am so excited to read anything from him or watch any of his movies! Since I am so young yet I have yet to read them all, but now that I am older it takes a lot less time for me to get through a novel. I also used my resources, the Net and Kindle, to get Stephen King's entire works, well, the works that he has out there. I recently was introduced to the novel The Plant. I must admit I was a little bit depressed to find that there has not been an ending written yet. I am waiting. I am hoping that enough talk will persuade the Great Stephen King to finish the novel. I really want to know what happens to Zenith House and Z! However, as long as Stephen King continues to publish books, I will read them, no matter what.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes! I am having a hard time trying to decide which King novel to read next. After The Plant I picked up Maya Angelou "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" and I am having a real issue getting into it. I need a book that will balance the seriousness and racist attitude in her story so I want to read something fun by Stephen King. I have read It, of course, like three times, The Stand (Extended way Stephen King wanted it written), like twice, Desperation, Dolores Claiborne, Hearts in Atlantis, Cell, The Plant, The Eyes of The Dragon, The Regulators, Gerald's Game, The Green Mile and Dreamcatcher. Does anyone have any suggestions for my next one? There is just so many I cannot decide.

...something "fun"?....that's not a word I'd commonly associate with King...he has a sly sense of humor, but not the off the wall kind that Koontz puts out there-and King's novels are by their nature, not in the humor vein...maybe I'm taking your use of the word "fun" too literally, but I think my girl Staro is right...the DT series has it's lighthearted as well as dark moments...get your gunna and your waterskins and begin the pursuit with Roland now...

My favorite SK novel is The Shining. I think you should read The Shining :) Its best read on a dark and stormy night :) If you've seen the movies, try to put them out of your head... the movies don't capture the mood like the novel does, and try to imagine Tim Daly instead of Jack Nicholson lol

Welcome Kelly,
You have read Hearts in Atlantis, and The Eyes of The Dragon then I suggest like a few have all ready- The Dark Tower Books. Quite a few books of King's connect to the Dark Tower.
Ranald Flagg and the Yellow Men, I think Ted from Hearts appears in the DT series (If my memory serves me well).
Talisman and Black House are also great. I like Just after Sunset, Everything Eventual, Skeleton Crew and Night Shift. These books are short stories.
