i only read 1 book of his, which is "Needful Things" - interesting, the show doesn't do justice to it.
i think more M'sians watched movie adaptations of his books than his book itself, heck most people wouldn't know it's from him.
how many people actually took note of the - Based On or Adapted From credits during movie intro?

I've read The Stand, It, Needful Things, The Green Mile, From a Buick 8, and Different Seasons (from which the story Shawshank Redemption was taken) and maybe a book or two I can't recall.
King is definitely a good writer, but his tendency to drone on and on about minor things puts me off his books. Still, he can write a heck of a chilling tale. 'It' was pure horror at its best, and I remember my 15 year old self being so scared I couldn't sleep at night. Even better though was the novella 'The Body'. A simple story about a few friends heading to see a dead body was, at it premise, nothing to be afraid about, but King managed to built up such a frightful atmosphere in the story... It wasn't the gore type horror, but rather psychological horror, and that is the scariest kind of horror if you ask me.
I've been meaning to pick up his Dark Tower series, but can't seem to get down to it.

He's a book supplier, and he said IT is no longer reprinted. So I don't know whether do they still print IT or not. The big bookstores like MPH, Borders and Popular don't have IT. >.< And I can't find the movie also. Sigh. |

woh never noticed this thread Read list: IT, The Stand, Christine, Carrie, Different Seasons, Four Past Midnight, Cujo, Misery.... can't remember Yes i'm a fan of his. But it's been 3 years since i last touch his books... Maybe will start reading again this year, maybe..... If u dislikes his style on getting too much on minor details (i remember reading a whole big paragraph of his describing a wooden cabinet, phew ), u can try his short stories like Different Seasons or Four Past Midnight. Those are cool too! |

But personally i think its ending is better than the movie version.

Ah I remember RTM showed IT bac many many years ago (believe that I'm abt 9-10 yrs old dat time) and I was so scared! Recently managed to borrow the DVD from my friend and re-watch it, only to realize it isn't as bad as I used to think As for SK's other books, I have read Christine, Insomnia - which is really good. And you'll find some very very interesting link between Insomnia and Pet Sematary (but make sure u read the latter first). I've not finished The Shining. Sorta stopped reading sumwhere and then now dunno how to continue bac (forgot some of the front section). I'm currently following his Skeleton Crew (collection of short stories). I've bought 4 past midnight, sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read ^^ and I'm looking forward to getting Needful Things and Salem's Lot. Btw I'm curious... why is Salem's Lot so expensive??? The price is consistently at RM 50+ |

There is no IT at Kinokuniya. Just checked it yesterday. I randomly picked Dreamcatcher, but lol from Internet I found out the title received so many negative reviews.

Is it that hard to find IT? Try calling MPH and Popular, check with their customer svc. You can actually 'reserve' the book. I have the same problem with Green Mile back then, so I called them up. From their system, they found 1 book in Midvalley and I reserve it. Picked it up the following day |

Update! Stephen King's It is available at Kinokuniya KLCC! And I saw only a piece at the rack. Go get It nao before it sold out.
I asked the staff, the book won't be available after this, unless you pre-order. And pre-order will take three months as the supplier is currently out of stock.
Good luck :-)

The Green Mile's brilliant, the movie only managed only to capture a bit of it's briliance, and even that was thanks to Tom Hanks XD
You guys should try Everything's Eventual, a compilation of a few of his short story works, i personally can't see how they made 1408 into a movie, the story is relatively short, i guess i better go find it

I practically have all Stephen King's book! I totally love him!!! He's the master, I love the way he played with words, he made it so real, although we know it's not..the way he describes one's dream, or feeling, or fear, it was so believable it's almost real.. love him so much!!

i bought the extended version of The Stand...over 1000 pages long... got to the 250 page mark. Find it to be extremely long winded. kinda regret. Is the ending or mid section worth it? I've read some other stephen king's work and like pet sematary the most. Misery is kinda depressing to read. Not sure if im going back to Stephen king...alil bit too heavy for my taste. just sharing. |
