Oh - okay thanks! (don't read in that format) - yet
I just remembered! It was "Blood and Smoke" that I got as an audiobook but could not listen to as it was all scratched.
"You have read 11 out of 72 on this list!
- You enjoy Stephen King books, although there are serious gaps in your knowledge. That’s OK — he’s written an intimidating amount of novels. Definitely keep at it: Your favorite Stephen King book may be one you haven’t read yet."

64. Haven't read the baseball books (although I have one of them on the shelf, but I'm English and I also hate sport), or the non-paper ones, or the co-Joe ones.
It's Kindle and audiobook but not yet out in print. Chances are it will be in the collection next year but as I'd mentioned, the final list hasn't been decided so can't guarantee that yet.
Two of the big ones I've never read were Tommyknockers and The Dark Half. I haven't read Throttle or In the Tall Grass although I own both. I can't remember the other two.
Wind Through the Keyhole is one and I don't think I've read Riding the Bullet. Not sure about that one. I would have to see it again.

I'm old fashioned I only read hand held books. So, it is a real bummer that I can't get any e-books, ibooks, or kindle stories from Stephen King. I wish they would go to a normal book. Something about holding a real book in your hand. So many titles on kindle n such, that I can't read em. Not to mention I have an Iphone 3GS so that means I can't get an ibook app. Arrrggg!
I'm only ging to say this once and not belabor it. Also, this is not only directed at you FireGurl, but many others on this board who are resisting e-books.
Reading e-books is not akin to signing a pact with the devil. It's 2014 and e-books are a natural progression of the written word. After all, before e-books, were we still reading hand-written pages written by monks holed up in a monastery? No. Gutenberg invented the printing press and the printed word came about. And, there have been many, many modernizations to that printed word since Gutenberg. So, embrace the world of e-books... they're not that scary!!!

Exactly! And it does not have to be an either/or choice. I read in both print and e-book formats and listen to audio books. All of them can tell me the same story in the same words and for me, that's the bottom line--the story. I do understand the tactile experience is important for some but we don't have to draw battle lines about which is better. JMO
Nooooooooooooooooo....it's like taking the "Mark of the Beast". I can't do it.I'm only ging to say this once and not belabor it. Also, this is not only directed at you FireGurl, but many others on this board who are resisting e-books.

J/K Seriously, though....I will either have to upgrade my phone, which just ticks me off about Apple. 6 months and your phone becomes obsolete. Or buy a kindle. Technology I tell ya. Gonna go broke buying all this stuff..lol.I have a more recent iPhone so maybe that's the difference, but there is a Kindle app for iPhones.Nooooooooooooooooo....it's like taking the "Mark of the Beast". I can't do it.
Gonna have to look into that. My son would know more about it than I. Thanks for the head's up.
I was dead set against e books at one time. I was missing Sk stuff that came out as e books. So I took the dive. I've never looked back. While new SK books will always be a hard copy, I find e books very handy. I have a Kindle wish list that makes it easy for people to buy me presents. As has been said it doesn't have to be either or.I'm only ging to say this once and not belabor it.

If I spend too long on a computer or e-book reader, I get severe eye strain and even a headache at times. The shorter stories don't bother me that much, but the longer ones cause me problems.

I have never experienced any kind of eye strain with an actual Kindle itself; it's only the Kindle app for my iPad and iPhone that I cannot read for long. To me, the Kindle itself is just like reading a book.
Cool!
51/72 Ummm...can I make it 52? I read the edited and unedited The Stand?
Peace.

I find that my attention starts to wander & I skim when reading a screen. Like John, I do okay with articles and shorter fiction, but full length books are MUCH more difficult. I have to read some in my gig as a reviewer, but I far prefer when the publisher sends me an actual book.
I've read everything by Mr. King but his baseball book. Oh and The Bad Kid - still waiting for that to be translated.
