In the early days, I avidly re-read SK's books - I have The Stand, The Shining, Firestarter, Cujo, The Dead Zone etc. all under my belt multiple times.
I am now in my 60s. There are a lot more SK books on my shelves. I want to re-read them all, but I also want to read loads of other stuff too - I have a 1,000-page biography which I am halfway through, one of Joe Hill's books, His Dark Materials, a load of Robert Ludlums, and a mountain of other stuff. Prioritising my reading becomes more important, and re-reading has to take second place to reading new stuff (so hooray for Joyland and Dr Sleep, and roll on Mr Mercedes which will jump the queue).
So just a word to younger members - you are lucky to have such a large body of work before you as you start on making your way through SK's back catalogue - savour your reading and re-reading!
