22 yr old guy here, I have been a King fan since I was very young. I've always been a huge horror fan, so I guess its kind of natural to be a King fan as well. I wanted to be a writer from a very young age, actually attempted it numerous times. I was always inspired by how King started out, but I eventually gave it up completely as it all just seemed overwhelming for me, trying to focus on a real job to make ends meet, honestly didn't have the time for the writing deal. I used to collect King's books like a maniac, and still have quite a few paperbacks, both old and new school editions, but after searching the house I only found 1 hardback, Dreamcatcher.
My dad does some residential contracting work and he was working for this guy who was another huge fan, and when he heard about me he invited me up to the house ( this has been years ago ) with dad and gave me a whole collection of hardback books. Im talking great condition too, nearly all of them were in excellent shape. Well I eventually got out of reading and sold every single one of them along with some paperbacks ( much easier to replace the paperbacks though! ). I believe From A Buick 8 and Cell were the most recent ones I have read, so I have quite a bit of catching up to do. I just recently got back into reading, mainly because of the release of " Doctor Sleep " which I plan on getting this weekend. I'm kicking myself now for getting rid of those hardbacks, they were worth a nice chunk of change and I let them go for pretty much nothing. I'll never get that lucky again. Going to take awhile to replace all of those, with a fixed income. So I figured I might just catch up on the great work I missed out on, and try and replace the hardbacks a little as I go.
Thank you all for reading and I look forward to chatting soon! Keep reading, Kinganites!
