A Question about The Tommyknockers

Misery is something else, that's for sure.

Ah, excellent. Thank you very much for the link.

Glad to see I started a Stephen King discussion here.

I went to a used book sale at a library yesterday and grabbed about 12 of his books that I hadn't read yet for $5.00. I started Needful Things last night, so far it's quite delicious.

I think Needful Things is my second favourite book of his. I loved the movie too!

Steven King really kills me. He wrote one of the BEST novels of the 20th Century AND some of the worst. Honestly, I stopped reading him after reading TommyKnockers.... I thought that was about the most boring book ever. LOL. Sorry, I hated it. However, The Tallisman he wrote with Peter Straub was fantistic, as was... well.. The Stand. I think the stand might be one of the best novels of the 20th Century to be honsest. That's a book I can read over and over.

The Stand is my favourite book of all time. I even have the mini-series of VHS! I used to watch all 8 hours of it at a time at least a couple times a year.

Stand By Me is my favourite movie of all time which is based on a short story called The Body. The story is pretty good too.

I still think It is the scariest book I've ever read. I was about 14 when I read it. I read it at the lake which is a secluded spot with no electricity. I read the majority at night by flashlight because I was too scared to sleep!
