Now that I have gotten you attention. I know this thread has probably been done like a "Billion" times before, but I am to lazy to go look. So! I would love to know! What was your first Stephen King book and how did you obtain it/choose to start reading it!?
My Story!!
My first ever Stephen King book was Desperation(Now I own 64...I think). One day my mother, step father and I went to Sioux Falls to run some errands. I was obsessed with reading. I loved everything about it. So we stopped at Goodwill(My favorite place to get books). My mom said we were heading to Walmart and that she would be in there for an hour, if not longer. So, I went on the hunt to find the perfect book to entertain me. So I was browsing the hundreds of book on the shelf, when I saw this bright/unique covered book. This book was super thick, but seemed interesting because of the unique cover art. So, I bought the book. I read it....in a day. I was in love. With the suspense, the writing style, and just the beauty of the horror. So I asked my mom about Stephen King. She told me she read Carrie in 1974 when it first came out. She was 14. So, I came home the next day and my mom tosses a paperback version of Carrie at me. So I went upstairs and laid in the tub. I came out four hours later yelling at my mom! "I need more Stephen King books!!! I need them all." That's how I fell in love with Stephen King. I read and collect anything by him I can get my hands on. His books have helped me and gave me peace when I felt I had nothing or no one.
That's my story! Tell me your's!!!
