I wouldn't have started with Carrie.
....those of us that were there at the beginning didn't have the luxury to pick & choose.....I wouldn't have started with Carrie.
What would you have started with ?
I was thinking of going onto Salem's Lot next'Salem's Lot, The Shining, The Stand if we're just talking about 70s stuff. I wouldn't not read Carrie though.
You're neither first, nor will be last on that one...Kinda embarssed by my last post and not going to read it lesson learned do not post when drunk sorry folks
You're neither first, nor will be last on that one...
You're right. They never are.Yes i was going to watch the Original film first has to be remakes are never the same.
Correct, it's close to the book, but still a lot is left out and still the book is better.
With King there is always so much AROUND the main story, so many side stories and side characters. The films always take the main story line, there doesn't really seem to be a way to do all those side stories, which is one reason why the films and books always feel quite different.
I have always felt the same way. Each chapter of his books is like little stories unto themselves, and he just strings them together when a common character or story line. i tried to write myself using this same technique -- not as easy as it sounds when you don't know what the hell you are doing.This is something that has struck me as interesting about SK that's so interesting. From even the small amount that I've read so far, there are so many mini-stories scattered within the body of the main story, at time's I've had this thought that his larger stories are strung together by collections of mini-stories.
I started off with Carrie fairly recently as my first read of his fictional work, even though there were plenty of other options available. I went for it because of what he wrote about it in On Writing, because it's a shorter book, and because it felt like one natural starting point. I found it very readable, and liked just about everything about it. I collected a sample size of SK at the same time as picking it up; on the strength of it I subsequently began raiding bookstores with fanatical frenzy.
