Went and got the "Kindle App" for Iphone. Read my first Ebook ..."Mile 81". Still love the hardcover books, but it came in handy on a long trip, and I didn't pack any books. Definitely different, but , if there are novellas that are electronic and not in book form...well, I just have to get it, cuz I can't miss any stories from Stephen King. Next on the list for me is "UR".

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.
I was just like you but it's UR that's got me to the shop to buy a Kindle. The things that man makes me do, it's just crazy.
But I ended up enjoying the format when I recently moved from the UK to Morocco and couldn't take all my books with me. Books are great but heavy.

Morocco? That sounds pretty exotic! (No snow and wind in Morocco) How do you like it there compared to the UK? BeverleyMarsh

Living in Morocco is really quite nice actually, Neesy. People are quite laid back here, they take the time for everything and it's just very refreshing. The scenery is great too. I feel like I've escaped the rat race, for a while at least. I miss the rain sometimes though.

My grandparents and aunt live in Morocco years ago, they loved it.

Do you know where in Morocco? I'm in Essaouira, by the sea. Below's where I do my morning runs. It beats the hell out of the back streets of Luton,UK

You have read 18 out of 72 on this list!
You love Stephen King enough to make some people around you feel a little uncomfortable. Don’t let them get to you. You’ve obviously found a connection to King’s books, and that’s a good thing. Now go ahead and read everything you’ve missed. There’s so much more to discover.

I have also read half of regulators and Carrie, bits and pieces of short collections and the body. No matter how you look at it though, I still have a lot to read.
I've think I counted that I read about 40-50 of his books. Maybe more. I'd have to count the books sitting on my shelves and boxes.

Broken Arrow, OK
51 out of 72 (I thought I had gone through about 80% of his canon, but I guess that works out to only 71%). I went on a forced sabbatical from his books for a handful of years in the first decade of this century to read others writers' works because I was getting to the point that I couldn't stand any author's "voice" other than King's and I recognized such insularity in my tastes couldn't be healthy, so I've fallen behind. Other than DANSE MACABRE, however (which I just find to be such a slog, burdened as it is with too many disagreeable opinions stated as fact, that I can't ever make it past the first hundred pages or so), I've read everything King has written from the beginning up to 2000.

Took the questionnaire a time ago...thought I read all but three...Faithful, The Plant...and possibly one other...but I only have 67 listed at the other place...could go to The Library Bar and have a few beers, miss the sawdust on the floor though, the picnic tables...now it's microbrewery people sitting around angsty.
Start checking em off the list there or better yet print it out. Many I've read multiple times. King's stories make me feel like a kid, make me feel young. You? Yeah, you bet, Walt, we're cutting you off.

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.
Deej, have you still not read Tommyknockers? If not, oh please do.
