so far so great

I just started reading Under The Dome yesterday. I'm on page 125, and really enjoying it. Back when the book first came out, I didn't read it because it is so long (and with such a HUGE cast of characters). Now that I'm finally reading Under the Dome, I'm really appreciating the list of many of the characters in the beginning of the book. In the past I've been turned off by a couple of SK's lengthy books, but now that I'm older(49), I'm thinking about going back and giving books like Needful Things another shot (I gave up on it a few years ago). 11/22/63 was absolutely brilliant. Now want to read everything SK over again. The Dark Tower series was something I crashed and burned on during The Drawing of Three; maybe I will start over from book 1, and see if I enjoy it more.

Welcome!

UTD is a big chew but a satisfying meal. By all means, do give Needful Things another go. It's still my favorite SK book.

Hi and welcome. His longer books are well worth the reading time. Enjoy. And, yes, so go back and start the journey to the Dark Tower.

I remember a quote by sai King, about UTD, saying he wanted to write a big novel that moves like 'Die Hard'. I think he nailed it! If you decide to read the rest of his books you should start from the beginning and move through chronologically. I envy you. All the best, mal

I have to agree - 11/22/63 is very good!

Yesterday Stephen King was on Good Morning America - he said his fave books were Lisey's Story, The Stand and a third book - which I have now forgotten!

Just in case you missed this yesterday!


Hmmm - they must have cut it short because this clip doesn't ask him which of his books are his favourites
