Hi everybody, I'm excited to be here! I only recently began reading fiction in earnest, but I've always loved King's stories as I've seen them on TV or on the big screen. When I was young I mostly stuck to Goosebumps, but I did read the novelette that spawned my favorite King movie (Silver Bullet), Cycle of the Werewolf.
It was about 20 years between that one and the first King book I picked up (after my conversion to proper reading). I was an English major in college (believe it or not), so I've got all this pent up book-discussion that I'm dying to exorcise.
The reason I visited this message board initially was to discuss Road Work, the first Bachman novel I've tried, because it wasn't what I was expecting, but I'm sure I'll work my way through plenty more of the list. I love that discussions are broken down by category!
Here's a list of what I've read so far in order:
Cycle of the Werewolf
Hearts in Atlantis
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Joyland
Doctor Sleep
The Eyes of the Dragon
Revival
Duma Key
IT
Skeleton Crew
Four Past Midnight
Mr. Mercedes
Finders Keepers
End of Watch
The Shining
Night Shift
Pet Sematary
Roadwork
(In-progress) Everything's Eventual
