What Book Should I Read First Of Stephen King - Topic

Personally find The Stand to be one of his best but the 1000+ pages arent for the faint of heart. If you are looking for something lighter start w/ gunslinger

and if you dont like it, get The Experiment by Dean Koontz, thats a great first read, everyone i know who's read it liked it, koontz and stephen king are more alike than most fans will agree to ^^

if you can get a copy of the bachman books... def

The book can no longer be published because of the short story "Rage" which is about a kid w/ a gun in his class, thats all imma say cuz its great.

and by far the best stephen king book is in there, The Long Walk, read it you'll understand why.

i would read Koontz > King however.

Koontz is cheesy imho. King makes you the person in the story with superior descriptions.

Try Cell if you haven't already its a really good zombie book

I think the director of hostel is making it into a movie too, its gonna be sickk

I acutally just finished Cell, was pretty good imo.
That would be a sweet movie too. I hope.

I'm rereading the Dark Tower Trilogy at the moment.
