Look at those last posts. Neither of you want this animosity. You're both just stuck in this bad behavioral habit. You both feel unheard and are lashing out because you've been hurt. It's time to move on. You don't need this negative reinforcement. You both deserve better.

I sense a deep seated infatuation that manifests itself in various violent photoshop imagery.

it is not hate but love we see here.

The Dark Tower.

Ever since my cousin insisted I start reading them about 5 or 6 years back, I've been hooked ever since.

Wizard & Glass being my fave so far, with The Gunslinger following closely behind (pun intended for those in the know!)

pun picked up. "Long days and pleasant nights, Sai BananaCologne!"

Salem's Lot
The Stand
Pet Sematary
It
Misery
Desperation

All great, but my absolute fave is The Shining. Possibly the creepiest book I've ever read.

The Shining is very scary. I haven't read it in ages, but I remember the last time I did, I was afraid to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I lost it since, and have yet to get a new copy.


Oh and I remember there was a scene in Desperation that actually made my heart almost leap out of my chest. I actually had to close the book, and was scared to open it and read further.

What scene was that?

The one where the couple are driving down the road, and the cop is following them. He pulls them over, and starts speaking very mechanically about how he has to give them a ticket, they were speeding, he's going to kill them, blah, blah.....

It just really freaked me out because it just came out of nowhere, and I could really put myself in their place. I just seemed "real" to me.

Yeah, I hear you.

"Blah, blah, blah... I'm going to kill you... blah, blah, blah..."

It made me as well. It sounds like nothing at all on here, but in the context of the book, well, it just comes out of nowhere.

I read Desperation when I was in about 7th or 8th grade. I loved it.

I've read it twice so far. Did you ever read the "other half" of Desperation, The Regulators? It has some of the same characters and sort of parallels the other book. I didn't like it as much as Desperation though, although there is a creepy as hell devil boy in it.

Gerald's game and Insomnia.


I'm reading "The Stand" right now and it's tedius.

I read that book in 2 days

Stephen King stories are indeed best when devoid of aliens or evil spirits. His best probably Carrie, Misery and Dolores Claiborn, where humanity is the monster.

I agree on his short stories being best.

But my favest book by him isn't a novel. It's his book about writing. It is also half an autobiography and gives an insight in how he works and preceives his ideas, almost as interesting as any of his stories.
