I’ve been catching up with recent SK after “Revival” and “11/22/63” both knocked me out. I gorged on him in my teens and twenties and kind of moved on after he finished the “Dark Tower” series, but coming back to him and reading the newer stuff has been a true delight.
Great video! The Stand is a must read for any King loving Boulderite, reads as easy as a tome can. Defiantly agree with enjoying his early work more, but the newer books are still worth exploring, The Outsider is solid new King. On Writing is fantastic and would recommend it even to people who don't have any interest in becoming a writer.
The Stand is a great one! The first few chapters make up one of my favorite openings in any Stephen King novel. And yes, there are lots of newer King works that are great- The Outsider is so chilling.
I read IT when I was 10 and never looked back these almost 40 years later. Dark Tower junkie personally! I have all my King(and Bachman) books in physical copies as well as on Kindle, easy mobile carrying traveling and good weighted books for cozy chair reading. I always recommend starting light like The Eyes of the Dragon or the Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Still good stories with chills but from there you can work your way up to the “don’t want to go down a dark hallway at night by yourself” ones.
Great video. Ive read IT twice really good book. I still need to read 11/22/63 and The Stand. I have them just haven't had the time to sit and dive right in

I'm a big fan of Dark Tower too, but I think it resonates so much more once you've read a few other King novels, so you get the references.

Please read The Stand. I’ve read them all except Fairy Tale and The Stand is an absolute masterpiece.
