The Stand
Was a bit cheesy, but So many sides to the story and the mystery and fight for survival, new love and friendship along with the good vs evil
They did a great job picking the characters on the movie!0 -
It

I haven't either, I don't get to read much nowadays given my occupation I have a very busy schedule but, The Shining is one of my absolute favorites as well. I love how detailed all of his books are! I like having a mental picture and some of the things they omit from the movies after reading the books you're like, oh! Okay! I get it now. I have not read The Green Mile yet. It was on one of my reading lists but I never got around to it, I like his darker stuff though. Storm of the Century, that's another good one 0

Hannibal by Thomas Harris.
Lecter was always such an interesting and brilliantly written antagonist and this was the book that gave you so much insight.0 -

I love Stephen King. He's a genius. I've read a few of his novels. I've been stuck reading Needful Things for years lol I can't seem to finish that one.

I wouldn't say I have a favorite book, but some favorite authors. I'm reading Ashley Bell by Dean Koontz right now. I really liked his whole Odd Thomas series. Vince Flynn is another favorite...John Sandford...0

Right now, its 11.22.63 by Stephen King. I've read it twice, and am currently listening to the audiobook, hoping to finish in time for the mini-series that's coming out soon, which I'm super freaking excited about! The story is fantastic, and I'd strongly recommend it. Its not a horror, more a sci-fi I guess, as its about a guy that travels back in time to try and intervene in a particular huge event in history. The characters are fantastically well developed, and you get sucked right in from early on.
I've been a massive fan of SK since I was a kid, when one of my older friends gave me three of his books to try - IT, The Stand, and 'Salems Lot.
Another of my favourite books has also been mentioned in this thread - Odd Thomas, by Dean Koontz. The whole series is amazing but the first book is the best, in my opinion. I think its the first time a horror novel has broken my heart!
Also, I'm a total (blood?) sucker for the Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice. Straight after reading Interview With The Vampire (I was around 15), I jumped on the bus to my local book store to see if they had any more. I read the first 4 books in the series in just over a week.
I am a total book hoarder though, so I might name others as favourites depending on the day, ha ha. I've got around 650(ish) books at home, and a Kindle full aswell (some of which I have 'real copies' of).
Sorry for the long post, total book nerd here

I have two. Too Kill a Mocking Bird. (Was forced to because it was for school, but this was the first book I read from start to finish and got me into reading). Desperation by Stephen King (the first book I read for enjoyment)0

Since I've joined MFP, I've given up on reading books. I just tear up phone books with my bare hands. Books r 4 losers!0

The entire sword of truth series
Is it good the whole way through? I read the first 3 books a while back and fell off. I planned to go back to them but I was a little discouraged when I was told by someone that the series gets progressively worse as it goes. I didn't have a good read on how well he liked the earlier books so I don't know how to interpret his claim. If I enjoyed the first few, can I expect more of the same in the later books?0 -
