[mal]

I guess the Outsider and Sleeping Beauties would be the only ones I haven't reread. They are still too fresh in my mind.

 

[GNTLGNT]

...I'm with Mal.....just the two latest....his work never bores me, no matter how many times I read it....

 

[Spideyman]

Pet Sematary. ( just can't) and the last new ones.

 

[Tery]

Ditto on the new ones. Haven't got around to a re-read of Duma Key yet. The only 2 I can think of are The Tommyknockers and Lisey's Story. Neither one grabbed me.

 

[cat in a bag]

I have only read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Blaze once. Not sure why on the first one, but Blaze put me in a horrible funk.

 

[Tery]

Blaze put me in a horrible funk

I just finished a re-read. Yeah, it's a definite downer.

 

[morgan]

I have only read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Blaze once. Not sure why on the first one, but Blaze put me in a horrible funk.

I couldn't finish that book.

 

[morgan]

Two books I'm fairly certain I won't read again are Cujo and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

 

[Gazman]

Main one I can think of is 'From a Buick 8', didn't really enjoy it the first time round and never went back to it. Maybe I'd like it more if I did.

 

[Alizesmom]

The Girl who Lived Tom Gordon
Gerald’s Game
Sleeping Beauties
In the Tall Grass
Dolores Claiborne
Misery

Revival

There are still some I haven’t read or only read once but intend to repeat but the above I have no desire to look at again.

 

[GNTLGNT]

The Girl who Lived Tom Gordon
Gerald’s Game

Revival

...looks like there's another dang book I gotta add to the already creaky bookcase.....

 

[Wayoftheredpanda]

The Girl who Lived Tom Gordon

Ah yes the classic King tale where a young girl turns into a famous baseball player

 

[Alizesmom]

I hang my head in shame.

 

[GNTLGNT]

I hang my head in shame.

 

[Zone D Dad]

It would be easier to name the ones that I've read multiple times:
It
The Shining
Salem's Lot
The Talisman
Skeleton Crew (esp. The Mist)
Night Shift
Different Seasons
On Writing
The Bachman Books
Firestarter (but only twice)

Everything else has been once through.

 

[JMR]

I have only listen to all of them once. Only read two of them. I am odd like that when comes to books I read or listen to I soak it up and ready for the next one.

The Girl who Lived Tom Gordon

Revival

My friend lent me her copy of Revival. It was EXTREMELY well worn. After reading it, I asked her about it. She said she read it in it's entirety twice, and re-reads the last three chapters from time to time.... I'm not sure what my point is, but I'm with you I don't care to look at it again haha.

Maryanne, when was the last time you read it?

 

[Spideyman]

Maryanne, when was the last time you read it?

Had to be when first published-- 1983?
