Welcome. Read Duma Key. NOW!

I wasn't too sure about that one, loved the beach walk idea, I just felt that SK was wandering up that beach with him, without a clue as to going forward with the story- the connections seemed a bit lame to me, the whole water tank thing a bit 'that'll do'

and wasn't their a similarity to the whole monkey toy short story ending? can't remember now.

So, feel like I'm at an AA meting and introducing myself. But easier to get it out the way and then ask what I want to ask I suppose

I'm from London, England, 46. Have been a huge SK fan since the late 80's, when I 'discovered' reading. Have read most of his work, and there's not much I haven't enjoyed.

Favourite works however, by some distance, are 11/22/63, The Stand, and IT (pretty sure I'm not alone in that top 3). Quite simply, each of those books have had that 'cannot put down' factor to them.

So my question, if anybody is interested in helping answer, is what next?

I haven't read any of the Dark Tower books, Under the Dome, Lisey's Story, Duma Key, Desperation, Doctor Sleep, Insomnia, Revival, Rose Madder, The Talisman & Geralds Game.

Now one thing that always makes me extremely jealous, is when I see someone just starting to read either IT, The Stand, or 11/22/63.

So, which of the books I haven't read make you feel envious, and why? I'm aiming to start on one in the next couple of days, so please, help me choose.........
I would recommend either Duma Key or Insomnia but they are pretty much all good (I've never read Desperation or the Regulators yet, so can't give advice there)

Each to their own, but I found it well creepy. It's been a while and the ending escapes me at the moment.
