Hello there!

I'm "Echo Looper". I'm new to the forum and just recently dove head first into the King Universe (multi-verses). When I was in high school, I read The Eyes of the Dragon and loved it. For some reason I stopped there. ( I'm a busy touring musician & usually recording/listening to music) My reading was limited to music biographies and the occasional astronomy book...I'm now in my 30's and picked up the Salem's Lot paperback on a whim. I fell back in love with reading fiction in big way through this tale. I decided to read Carrie and now working on 'IT'. 'IT' just called to me... Something about youth, fear, and growing up etc. It's a stunning book so far! Beautiful. All of this reading has reawakened some kind of youthful imagination and has spurred new creativity in myself.

Okay my question is -what is the best way to collect old SK hardcovers in your opinion(s)? I'm checking craigslist, eBay and goodwill stores. My goal is to read
& own all of his books -hardcovers if possible. I want to have my own glorious bookshelves to show off like many of you here in the forum :)

Also do any of you recommend a certain reading order knowing what I've read so far?

My plan is to read The Shining, NightShift, On Writing, and Dr. Sleep next. Good idea or bad idea?

Thank you so much and very excited to hear your responses, I know this was a long introduction. I wrote a novella.. Just in love again with the written word ...

Cheers, T aka Echo Looper
