I'm stating the Dark Tower series all over again. It's been over a decade since I read the first few books. About halfway through Book 1. This should keep me busy for the rest of the year.

Nice! I've read the series through twice. Will probably read again at some point, but I've got such a list to get to right now. :x

Ditto. Plus, I never read the revised edition of the first book. Curious about that. But reading through it again is on my backburner ... I have way too many other books to get through first! I've read about 10 so far this year, including three King books, so I think I'm off to a good start.

I've read through the whole DT series twice, will probably do it a 3rd time sometime in the next few years. I've been thinking of re-reading The Stand sometime this year. Outside of Stephen King I mostly read non-fiction and am slowly getting through my stack of books here. Looking forward to seeing what the Under the Dome TV series is like!

21/30. Not bad. I haven't read any of the Dark Tower books either. I tried once, but I couldn't get into it. Not my style. Too much like the fantasy genre for me.

Awesome quiz! I got 26. I should have gotten them all argh!!
Wow. I got 22 but had a hard time with a couple of them. That was tough!

I had an awesome score of 12. The King would be so proud. :thumbup:
It was the same 8 or 10 titles.
He's gonna be in Canada oct. 24. Signing things... It's rare.
I wish I had that man's signature on one of my books.
Most people have a bucket list.
There is a forum for Stephen King questions.
If you could ask the man one thing, What is your question?
all the talk of rare things... Meeting him is extremely rare.
I follow him on Twitter and I'm in the fan club. I still miss him every time. Tickets are only 100 bucks.
Anthony Bordain wanted 1500 per person for a speech. :nono:
I really LOVED, The Girl That Loved Tom Gordon, It's my current favorite. I've read it in 3 formats.
The PoP up version is Very S.K. I'm proud to own it. If I had one thing he would sign... It's my Tom Gordon POP-UP BOOK.
Did anyone get the email today?
I didn't read it. I just saw something about another Ghost? book?
I adore his audio books. When he reads aloud, It's Frucking Awesome!!!!!
It's been awhile. Maybe that is why I have listened to 17 hrs of The Lovely Bones 4 times now?
IF only I still had a tape player and all 8 cassettes...
When The King tells you a story... it's your pleasure to hear. I have pulled off the road... to hear him finish a chapter. :oops:
I got a 22/30. I did guess on more than 8 of them though
I am currently reading NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son. He writes in a very similar style. 50 pages in, I think its a keeper.
NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns.
Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country.
Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.”
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.

Yeah, I liked Under the Dome a lot. Very easy/quick read considering the length.
I instantly thought it would make a great film/TV adaptation. The King stories are so hit/miss though. It also seems like it is being thrown together too quickly.
