Which was the first King book to make you cry? I honestly can't remember mine - seems like at some point many of them bring tears to my eyes.

Just about every one has at some point. Easier to say which ones haven't--lol. The two I've read most recently, Joyland and Lisey's Story, tore me up quite a bit. I cried so much when I was a teen and read Cujo that I don't think I'll ever read it again--so much worse now that I have kids of my own.

Both of those made me cry - and I cried again when I read that scene DanaJean quoted up there - I'd forgotten. I haven't read Cujo, but I have read some spoilers on that - I think I'd cry there too. Several times during my Dark Tower reading I have found myself in tears.

Insomnia is one of my faves. Read it twice so far (second time for DT references). Enjoy it again, mal.

...many people have it at or near the bottom of their list of his novels-I myself and others found it endlessly fascinating and a well qualified contender in his lexicon...also has a nice DT tie-in...

Im one of those people that it ranks toward the bottom, but - as Ive said in other threads - SK books are a LOT like old Star Trek: Even when they're bad, they're still good and better than a lot of other things
