Stephen King Book • Page 90

Yeeeeeeeees. I think it is maybe top 3-5 book for me.

 

Loving Bag of Bones as a Summer read so far. Not sure where it's going, but it's cool to see what seems to be a more classic ghost story from King. Also started Heart Shaped Box which is along similar lines. My first time reading anything by Joe.

 

Bag of Bones was such a good summer read. Every summer I tell myself I’ll read Duma Key but still haven’t done it

 

Just finished a reread of desperation and now going into Regulators for the first time. I’ve heard mixed with some calling it his worst and others enjoying it!

 

Finished Wolves yesterday, loved loved loved it. My memory of the last 3 books from my first time through is not as good as the first 3, so it's also a little fresher to me.

I also had the thought that if you were doing a TV show of DT, it would be a viable option to have it start in the Calla and have that be the "current" time and then tell books 1-3 via flashbacks. It just seems very difficult to me to tell those very well linearly, especially 1 and 2. Having the Calla setting be the base of everything would allow a lot more characters to be involved and have the three drawn gunslingers be fully skilled and full fledged gunslingers at the start, and I think there are a ton of plot beats that would be good prompts for extended expository flashbacks. Ultimately I trust Flanagan, but just a thought.

Speaking of rights, though (DT5 spoilers): Surely they won't be able to portray snitches, lightsabers, and Dr Doom Wolves? Tons of room to work on that of course, but curious how they would handle that

 

looooove Regulators

 

Since we're sharing King shelves

 

I actually hadn’t thought of that. That’s a good point about the rights.

 

I absolutely hate that stuff in Wolves lmao I'll consider it a net positive if they can't do that in the show. just completely sucks all of the menace out of the greencloaks
