Hey, I'm not trying to be a buzzkill, but this has kindasorta already been done by James Smythe for The Guardian.
He didn't read things in chronological publishing order, but he's blogged plenty about his SK re-reads.

Very cool
I loved your essay I'm curious... Will y'all try to pretend you don't know other books will follow when you review The Gunslinger?
I can't speak for how Rich is going to handle the book, but my plan is to write about the story behind The Gunslinger by itself, without anything more than a passing reference to how long it would be before he returned to the series.
Second Coming = Sex Manual! LOL! 
Thanks for setting the table for book 2!

Bev, out of curiosity, is the intent of this project to collect all the blog postings and turn them into one huge book, with your essays, Chizmar's posts, and all the extras by the other writers (I believe in addition to yourself and Chizmar, there are other people writing essays, but I haven't double-checked the site) included? It would seem to be. And maybe Chizmar could possibly write and include some sort of short story based on this (a blogger who re-reads a bibliography, goes mad in the process, whatever).
At least some of that is the long-term plan. It'll be close to two years by the time we get to the end of this journey at the current rate, so who knows what we'll be up to by then!

Now for The Shining: Welcome to the Overlook by Bev Vincent | Stephen King Revisited
Awesome Bev! Going to use these as mood setters whenever I reread a King book.
To prepare you for Rich's post about RAGE: Getting It On by Bev Vincent | Stephen King Revisited
Doing a good job, Bev!!! I was thinking of The Rats by James Herbert when i read graveyard shift and they went down the basement. These giant rats made me think of him. Or did they appear first in the Lair? I always mix things up.
Interesting thing about Thompson and rats.
What an awesome collection of short stories.
Who would have guessed That Children of the Corn would end up birthing the most adaptations out of every story in that book!
Cool insights – Thanks!
We're up to the original version of The Stand: Good vs. Evil by Bev Vincent | Stephen King Revisited
Am so enjoying these Bev. Thanks for doing this project .
Awesome Bev! Learned a lot of stuff here.
Loved how you are able to capture King’s mind set when he was writing each book.
