I believe that was Cujo, although I am frequently wrong.Apparently he doesn't remember writing Tommyknockers because he was so drunk and coked out when he wrote it.

Well, he was drunk and coked out for much of the 80s, so I'm sure many of them were fuzzy.I believe that was Cujo, although I am frequently wrong.
I'm a big King reader but have always avoided Tommyknockers. Never heard anything good about it.Well, he was drunk and coked out for much of the 80s, so I'm sure many of them were fuzzy.
But yeah you're right, it's Cujo that he doesn't remember writing.

Tommyknockers was an extended metaphor for cocaine addiction and King regards it as his worst book.
If you like IT I would also check out Dean Kootz's Phantoms. I love the creature in that book and its backstory.
I got it at Costco for less then $20So that's pretty good? I've been wondering, I dunno where to track it down besides ordering online. I like tracking books, I looked for it when I had to go to target to get Heat 2
Another really good Koontz is Watchers. For me it's his best book by far.I read that one many years ago and really enjoyed it. It's still the only Dean Koontz I've ever read.
Affleck was the bomb in da movie yo.
Absolutely bro. I'm sure there's parts I've read hundreds of times tbh.
My favorite action scene, in any movie or book is when the three 'kids' ride down Jonas and his crew
I agree. Also, The Shining is a great work, but very different from the movie - I feel like the interior monologues that are so central to a lot of King's works, make them difficult to adapt to the screen.
On Writing was surprisingly great. Probably not the best choice for a first King book to read, but definitely worth reading.i for one, will say don't read IT, overly long (~1000pgs) with a couple of interesting concepts in between.
I really enjoyed On Writing, Pet Semetary, and Shining. Dr Sleep felt very different from Shining, which made it a letdown for me.

I only read one when I was younger and it was great, called Pet Semetary. So I recommend that. Not too long but enough depth to get into it.It's getting to be that spooky time of year, and this year I want to finally read a Stephen King book.
I've seen pretty much all the movies based on his work, and for years I've been meaning to read some of his books, but never quite got around to it. So this year I'm gonna read my first Stephen King book.
You guys have any favorites of his, or recommendations on a good one to start with?
8 times?Lots of people seem to struggle with it but I've read the series 8 times now I think. I'm pretty obsessed with it
