Stephen King Book • Page 53

Yeah I only read Mr. Mercedes at the time when reading The Outsider because I had no idea. Went back and read the other two after and it was still fine, but I do wish I read those 3 before The Outsider.

 

Does anybody else watch Mr. Mercedes?

 

I wish they'd put that on iTunes or something. They released it on DVD but not Blu...

 

First season finally got a Blu-ray release actually. Didn't see one for S2 yet though. It took them forever.

 

Woah, okay. Must get that then.

 

I’m like 300 pages into The Institute and absolutely loving this book.

 

Finished The Institute on the flight home last night. Really enjoyed it all. Little mix of Firestarter, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and Stranger Things.

 

Every time I read SK, I always want to try my hand at writing a story of mine own.

 

I'm about 80 pages in so far. Hopefully I'll work my way through it more this coming week

 

I was thinking we were getting a full length novel with Holly :(

 

Have you read On Writing by him? Makes me really want to write a book but I second guess any cool idea I have

 

oh for sure, fantastic book

 

My lady surprised me with The Institute! I need to finish A Confederacy Of Dunces first before I dig into child kidnapping.

 

I’m doing some research and have a question for y’all. Would I be fine reading Insomnia before The Dark Tower? From what I’ve heard, there are a lot of references.

 

You wouldn't be lost or anything, and actually it's most important tie is almost a prequel to later events in the Dark Tower, so it wouldn't mean much at the time but if you read the Dark Tower eventually it would be good information to have. There's some easter eggs you would miss, but otherwise I think you'd be fine.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I feel like Black House is the only one I would recommend not reading if you haven't read Dark Tower.

 

This was on my list to read next anyway haha

 

Finished Needful Things earlier today. More than likely starting Gerald's Game tomorrow. Feels weird to consider a 400+ page book "short," but after NF, it definitely is.

 

I have 60 pages of The Institute left and hope you finish tomorrow. It's only a week late at the library and I've been reading it for about a month

 

Finished the Institute. It’s decent but kind of middle of the road in his catalog for me. It didn’t feel like much happened for the length. That being said, middle of the road in his catalog is still pretty darn good.

 

I finally finished The Institute geez. It wasn't bad just fairly long and a bit tedious.

 

Haven't started The Institute yet.

I still have The Talisman in Audible. Might do that one first.

 

I'm really interested to see what moviegoers who haven't read Doctor Sleep think of the adaptation.

I liked it but think somehow it might play a bit better for fans of Kubrick's Shining.

 

I barely remember anything about Doctor Sleep which I think it may play to my benefit when I see it. I only remember the Danny as an adult alcoholic hitting super hard.
