What Is The Best Bachman Book?

I saw what ya did up there! Thanks! See, you're expecting me to remember that little ol' squiggly looki' thing, too. Oh, boy, the pressure, the pressure.....It's called a hash tag, right? I know a thing or two....haha!

In the Author's Note at the beginning of The Dark Half King says-
'I'm indebted to the late Richard Bachman for his help and inspiration. This novel could not have been written without him.'
S.K.

I've never read any of them, but I know what all of them are about because my older sister's read ALL of them - even Rage, which I'm really upset to learn I didn't have a chance to read before they took it off the market. I was going to get around to reading Richard Bachman books after I was finished with most of the Stephen King books. Unfortunately my sister doesn't know what she did with all her Bachman books.

The Long Walk It was so totally different than anything I'd ever read, I read it a second time right after the first time. I had a really hard time getting my head around why the walkers would want to take the long walk. I thought it was very imaginative

Where's my DWEEM FWOATAH!

I knew King wrote Thinner, but I had not connections. Two paragraphs, and I knew it was King. Months later, one of my co-workers treated me to lunch to show me the news article. He was so impressed that I was right.

My favorite is The Long Walk but I thought Roadwork was an excellent slow burner. I was a little surprised to hear SK say he wasn't very fond of it. Of course, he wasn't fond of Carrie either so what does he know?

Not a very difficult choice. The Long walk. But i liked Rage too as a story. The running man.. so-so, If Misery had come out under the Bachman name it would have been my choice.

The vote isn't even close. The Long Walk by a mile.

I think Running Man would have made the choice more difficult for me, but Arnie ruined it for me. Although I did think Richard Dawson in that movie was the absolute best case of type-casting ever.

I won't pick one so I won't vote.

The Long Walk
Rage
Blaze

Roadwork for me. The tale of a man losing the plot because of a tumour (not his) say,about the size of a walnut, was an astonishing feat considering King wrote this when he was a teenager!

Blaze, definitely

Gets my vote, too.
