OK, Who likes Stephen King? I'm reading both "Thinner" (about a lawyer who gets cursed by a gypsy clan after accidentally running over one of the gypsies. His curse is to loose weight until he dies, he has to find a way to get cured) and "Pet Semetary" (which is all about a family of four (a doctor, his wife, a five year old girl and a baby boy) who move to a country home in Maine which has a path to a pet cemetary out side his property. The cemetary hides a dark, ancient magical power which can bring the dead back as zombies. The theme of the book is the acceptance of death and only those who accept inevitable death can survive.). I have also read "Rage", one of his oldest novels which is about a teenager who all his life has been stepped on and now he strikes back by killing two teachers and holding his class hostage.

Do you like his books? if so which ones have you read?

I've read a book titled The Bachman Books. This collection had his some works like Rage, The Long Walk and The Running Man (which is a great story). Rage wasn't so scary to me, more disturbing and had some angst within the boy. I've read other compilations (Everything's Eventual and his newest release, Just After Sunset) as well as some stories, such as Cujo and The Green Mile. Even Tales from the Darkside adapted some of his stories into their show, which I thought was great.

As far as his writing style is concerned, I like it. He has a casual way of describing how he came up with an idea for a story in his introduction or at the back. The story part can be... a little too much on the detailed side (as in nasty), but he does invoke a true sense of horror with his twisted creations.

I rather like The Stand and Storm of the Century. I especially love The Stand, It's brilliant, and should have gotten way more credit than it did. You have to check out the mini-series based on the book too, It's amazing

I have yet to read those books. I just bought "Cell", "Carrie" and "The Tommyknockers". Do you guys recommend them?

I also got a coice to read one of these books: "cell", "The Tommyknockers", "Carrie", "Insomnia", "Rose Madder", "Dolores Caliborn", "Different Seasons", "The Dead Zone", "Bag of Bones" or "Gerald's Game". Which one do you guys think I should read?

Those all seem like fine choices. Don't know if you've made your final decisions on what to read. I'd have to say either "Cell" or "Carrie" would make a nice first read. They both deal with some decent surreal issues. "The Tommyknockers" is... in a way similar to "Cell" in that something happens to people to make them change.

I've actually started reading The Stand on my own time and I have to say it's pretty wild.

cool, thanks. I will think about Cell definately because it seemed good when I bought it although Dolores Claiborne does look tempting.

If you guys read Pet Sematary, did you get the idea that the theme of the acceptance of death was present in the book, because it seems that only those who are able to accept the idea of death and go through a healthy mourning period survive the book, PM me if you want to talk about this because I don't wanna give away the character's deaths in the book, and the ending.

Also I'd like to apologise for the double posting to any mod out there, it was accidental.
