Hello All,
I'm super excited to be a new member of this forum. King is the most talented author I have ever come across and it's exciting to have a venue where I can discuss his works! I've been reading King novels and collections back-to-back for about a year now and I'm a little over the halfway mark. I have been spreading out the Dark Tower series which seems to have been a really good (and fun!) idea. About every 10-12 novels I will read the next Tower installment. It is mesmerizing to see and experience the connections between his novels/worlds. I graduated last year with a bachelor's in filmmaking and focused on screenwriting and story analysis and reading his works compulsively has been great research for themes, story, and philosophy. Reading King novels is also a great way for me to see in words some of my own ideological and psychological perspectives that I've never been able to express effectively on paper. He really is a master of the mind. Horror just happens to be one of the strongest characteristics the mind is composed of.
