Any Stephen King books that are "must reads?"

[Nine]

I'd suggest reading The Shining and when finished, read Doctor Sleep. You won't regret it!

Then again, you probably wouldn't regret reading any of his books

The Stand and It should keep you well read for the summer! Come back to see us and tell us what you think of our ideas.

I love too many to list here, but if Ihad to red one it would be The Stand. Love it or hate it (and you'll find people on both sides of that divide here), the book is a cultural touchstone. Many, many modern dystopia and catastrophe books, movies, and even songs have sprung from that single story (or at least have been heavily influenced by it). Many of the common dystopia tropes started right there. And it's a great story, too!

Read the Dark Tower series. That will take up your summer.

Welcome to the board!

Okay I'll keep that series in mind! Thanks!

I would recommend Danse Macabre, to get a "feel" of who the man is and where he's coming from (sorry, sixties jargon). Then I would go for broke and start The Dark Tower.

Welcome to the board.
The Eyes of the Dragon, Dark Tower, short stories (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, Everything Eventual, Just after Sunset, and Full Dark, No Stars) as mentioned. Duma Key was an odd ball, but I enjoyed it. Green Mile, six short books and Under the Dome (pretty thick one to gnaw on for a while). I hope this all helps.

So What did you pick?

Welcome! I would go for The Stand, if you're planning on reading it over the course of your summer. It's a long one, but I have a feeling you will finish it in no time at all!

Hi. I'd say all but my teen's favs are Dreamcatcher (long) & the body (short).
