So as still a relative newbie to here and Stephen King's books what should I read next?

[Sundrop]

Ooooh does this forum have a recipe thread

As a matter of fact, we do. Recipes. | The StephenKing.com Message Board

Welcome to the SKMB! I'd suggest Christine next for you, but really you can't go wrong with any choice! Happy reading!

I think the recipe thread needs resurrecting......

Yes, it might enable you to cook something that won't kill me.

Where would the fun be in that?

Maybe you could borrow do1you9love's skillet and cook up some of that Spam and maybe a few wee eggs?

Hmmmmmmmmmm?

I agree with Sundrop. Read 'Salem's Lot next. You'll be glad you did. Welcome, mal.

Cheers for that, and it has the added bonus I can reacquaint myself with Father Callahan.

You do realize that you will never hear the end of that now?

I'm partial to that book as it was the first one I ever read. I was twelve or thirteen and it scared the bejeezus out of me! I recently re-read it after 35 years or so, and I found it still packed the same punch.

Do you realize the grief you've just caused yourself by agreeing with me?
Maybe OoO won't notice......

Welcome. As others have said you can't go wrong with a short story collection. Let us know what you decide.

Welcome, Owen.
I recommend Sundrop's method for choosing the next book.

So far I have devoured the Dark Tower series, and also enjoyed Revival, Needful Things and The Talisman.

I am currently really enjoying The Stand.

I keep finding myself saying I don;t like horror as a genre, but everything I have read so far of King's work suggests to me that he is just such a compelling writer that genre is, in a way, irrelevant - he is simply writing about people in such a way I can't but help getting drawn in and consumed by it.

Anyway I will probably finish the Stand this week so where should I go next?

I liked 11/22/63 - that is a good one. (There are so many it is hard to choose).

Welcome!

Let us know what you decide.

OK so I've gone with Under the Dome, Salem's Lot and 11/22/63. Probablt will read Salem's Lot next given the number of people that have reccomended it. Thanks all!

Welcome to the SKMB! Keep posting! Keep constantly reading!

I suggest some of my faves: Misery, Bag of Bones, Desperation, The Dead Zone, and lots of short stories.

Sounds like a good plan. Enjoy and do take time to check in with the board.
