Any other Stephen King fans?

I'm a huge SK fan and have most of his collection. But I've never been able to start reading The Stand. It's incredibly long and I'm not a fan of the TV miniseries. But I finally started reading it and am about six chapters in.

And I've gotten the first bad cold I've had in years.

Captain Trips has found me…

All hail the King

Watch out for the walkin' dude.

Some call him Randall Flagg, others call him Walter o'Dim.

I spent a lot of time being chauffered around on ship reading Stephen King.

I used to have a good number of hardbacks, some were likely even early or first edition copies, but alas... they found their way to the garage sale in one spring cleaning or another. In fact, I just looked at my bookcases and I don't see one single Stephen King novel... mostly non-fiction these days.

Love his work. He's a little on the strange side though.

I am also a King fan. The Stand is one of my favorites. I think I have read it 3 times.

I never was a big fan of his writings but I absolutely L-O-V-E movies based on his novels.

The Shawshank Redemption
Children of the Corn
The Green Mile
Pet Semetary
Stand By Me
The Shining
Silver Bullet
Salem's Lot
Creepshow
Christine
Thinner
Carrie
Cujo
It

All top notch flicks.

I liked "The Stand" and "It" but the rest of his books haven't much appealed to me.

Haha, I think diarrhea of the literary mouth is a better word for it. He's definitely one of my favorite authors, but the dude can go on for paragraphs about a leaf or a song on the radio being played two counties away that reminds a man passing by about his childhood.

The Long Walk is probably my absolute favorite of his. Misery isn't far behind. I really liked The Langoliers too.
