I just started getting into Stephen King and his shit and so far I've read, "The Long Walk" which he wrote under Bachmon and was a geat fucking book and I''ve read "The Green Mile" wow that book was just amazing, and now I just started up on "Needful Things". Do you guys have any suggestions of some of his books? |

i think i'm gonna pick up the shining next time i go to the book store because i wanna read one of his horror novels to see if i like them as much as his drama novels like The Green Mile |
||||||||
|
|

No; get Christine first. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I don't want to tell you, but it's sinply his best book ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have 17 books written by stephen king but I don't know the english names of em... sorry mate can't help you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Nexus, what did you think of the Christine car? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i like reading books where i don't really know what they're about, like when i went in and read the green mile my friend kept on being a cunt and was like "oh yeah and then delecroixes gets fried because percy didn't wet the sponge and then in the end john coffey gets killed". i was about ready to kill him because he just ruined a great book for me. i still enjoyed the book because well, it's just such a great book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh is christine the novel where it has the car that kills people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, my dad was telling me about that novel, he's a really big steven king buff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you know what set of novellas the shashank redemption and the body are in? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I enjoyed that one but it's definetly not one of my favorites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you recomend nexus? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it really depends on your character I suppose... and if you love your car... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IT, The Shining and Misery |
||||||||
|
|

|
i'm looking for a really scary novel because i've never really been scared by a book before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
read the Robot City novels by Isaac Asimov. now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Laquero, you won't get frightened by St.King... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not looking to get totally spooked just a tad, cause i don't think a book can really scare you that much unless you have a really good author doing it. i dunno i'll see what happens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get La Peste by Camus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true S. King doesn't frighten me. His books are just facinating... they make me feel weak... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In a good way, I just can't really explain it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone should make a movie with this Camus book... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like I've said before, I've read all of King's books... my top five is: 1. 'It' 2. 'Wizard And Glass' 3. 'The Stand' 4. 'The Gunslinger' 5. 'The Green Mile' You should DEFINITELY read the Dark Tower Series - The Gunslinger is the first of them. I've got loads of King E-Books if you wanna get them off me from Soulseek dude |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, read It... DAMMIT, IT'S FANTASTIC!!!! One of my favorite books of all time!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read the book and then watched the movie, and the movie sucked ass... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Have you read The Gunslinger, Funk? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but I've been meaning to... the last couple years my reading has been taken up with the WOT series... (which is quite fantastic by the way)... sometime I will though... I went to that site you posted a link to, where King was talking about it... it's pretty cool... hmm, actually I believe I did start the first book but never finished it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great stuff. I have a classy E-Book version if you want it... it has PICTURES!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I believe I have it somewhere here around the house... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
E-Book?... do you need a certain program to view those on your computer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any form of Adobe Acrobat'll do... you can d/l the simple reader from their site |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I have adobe acrobat... want to e-mail it to me or something? If you don't mind... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, I'll check the file size now... btw, I just sent you a blank email... I'm hungover and don't know what the fuck I'm doing =oO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah bollocks, it's on my machine in work but not here I can send it to you Monday if you want =o/ |
||||||||

|
|
stephen king blows, hes right up there with anne rice get some real literature down you try some kafka , camus or a little burroughs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now see, I hate it when people do that. How do you know I don't read that stuff as well? I could be Hunter S Thompson for all you know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
omg are you? I thought he was dead! I dunno, you dont see too many threads about britteny and shit and thats what king is the literary equivalent of |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol *notices the britteny ps2 thread and eats his words* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hunter s thompson is NOT dead! la peste by albert camus is a good book for sure - about a real life plague that afflicted the north african town of Oran - but hell, it ain't scary, even in a "oh shit, it could happen here!" kinda way -- i've read a lot of stephen king and here are my recommendations: The Shining Needful Things 'Salems Lot Insomnia Hearts In Atlantis Rage (bachman book) the dead zone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i downloaded IT from jaworski and i am reading needful things too, thanks for the recomendations guys. |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The movie was 10 times worse tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
