I have not read a Stephen King book that I did not enjoy, sir
shoe did you read dreamcatcher
because I couldn't finish it
I had to stop at "his mother always said his toothpicks would be the end of him"
I didn't hate it. And I mean, this was his first book after his accident, so I guess I could see how that'd rattle him a bit. But yeah, it wasn't, y'know, his best work.
On Writing is an amazing piece of work though, and I think that owed a great deal to his accident. As weird as that is to say.

So far my worst experience with Stephen King is that 100-page part in The Stand where Abigail goes to get corn. Second worst is when I met him at a bookstore and he stabbed me with an aluminum bookmark.
larlar did you tell stephen king that you are a yankees fan

No, I didn't even know he was there. I said "thankee-sai" to the clerk and heard some guy yell something about plagiarism, so I turn around and STAB...it's Stephen King. This was all before he turned into a Hungarian Warlord and set fire to the Erotica section while raping its voyeurs with tentacles of extended prose. He seemed nice.
when I was hiking in new mexico I met some people from maine and said that the only stuff I knew about maine was that stephen king wrote about it a lot
they started saying something about how he's weird and goes to basketball games and I asked them if they'd ever been attacked by a rabid saint bernard
I didn't terribly mind how the Dark Tower ended at all.
The Stand on the other hand.
That kinda irked me as ohshitgottafinishthousandpluspagebookuhhhh
I am really looking forward to seein' this one, although I am not a dude for horror movies...at all.
(The Stand miniseries was good, but I never saw the last quarter of it so it could have gotten really bad, but wtf the chick from the breakfast club MOLLYRINGWALDTHATSIT as Fran? Also man maybe I'm totally off here but for some reason I thought Nick Andross was black. Guess not. But aside from that I thought they had some of the other characters down pat, Larry was good, as was Tom Cullins, and the guy from Apollo 13 as Stu grew on me so much that it turned out well.
Oh, and Harold wasn't fat.)
I wanna read Hearts in Atlantis next, although my only experience with King is the Dark Tower, the Stand, and 'Salem's Lot, but I got Cell and Bag of Bones sitting on my desk.
(also a signed copy of dark tower number five oh lordy I'm a nerd

I just meant his short stories
they are occasionally not so hot

does he have some incriminating evidence on the man or something?
hell, she won an oscar for one of them, I think
I can't remember what the other one is, but I'm thinking carrie for some reason
I could look this up, I guess
was that a stephen king thing?
so maybe?
considering that he basically is one it makes a bit of sense
the sining, secret window, and 1408
i dunno i guess thats just 3.
if not, you need to get them both and read them back to back
I like how Dark Half ended sorta happy, then in future books the character just spiraled into depression and eventual suicide.
I have not read either
I think I tried to read dolores claiborne and got distracted and had to return it to the library
well if you ever plan to read one you sort of have to read both
because the two books are companions to one another and they intersect a bit
books that do that are neat sometimes
that happened in a couple Forgotten Realms novels I read
I hope the hour is in real time, I love stupid shit like that.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
was a friend's birthday, went with him and some other friends
wow what a piece of shit film this was
1408 was poop from a butt
and fuck you, Stand By Me was fucking wonderful
