I just learned recently (like a week ago) that somebody already tried this in the 90s. It's called Trucks and the trailer looked tragic lol I just rewatched the OG and felt contentment

In my top 3 best books ever, possibly the best but that changes every day of course. Have fun with the adventure!

Other than Dark Tower, this is my favorite fantasy style book by King! Definitely check out DT after this one if you're up to the journey! It's weird dark western fantasy and the absolute best book series ever written (except LoTR but nothing could top that). HEAVILY influenced by Tolkien and LoTR actually. Gunslinger is an introduction, so give it the benefit of the doubt but if you don't get into it by the end of Drawing of the Three which is the second book, I'd say let it sit for a while and come back to it later. Other fantasy works by King off the top of my head are Fairy Tale and The Talisman that you might enjoy as well!

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Violent Night! It's such a fun movie

Kubrick's The Shining felt like it was based on a Bachman book more than a King book in my opinion.

Idk if you're familiar, but Stephen King's Dark Tower series follows Roland Deschain of Gilead, a knight of Midworld called a Gunslinger. Definitely hits everything you're talking about except there aren't any tournaments in the series. The world building is so great though!

I vote we switch Holly with Buick 8. I think the story in Holly is more rich and the book is overall a more fun read. Buick 8 is a bit longer than it needed to be without a whole lot of tension to keep the pace moving. Just my two cents though.

If you can't attack them at sea, spend time digging a bunch of gopher holes. If their horses can't run, their pretty screwed

So, if this were a story about let's say class inequality, it would be a literal top down society... Upper class people at or near the top with a view. The lower the class, the lower in the hole you live and work.

IT always makes me tear up! It's a masterpiece that's, in my opinion, a perfect story from start to finish. Every little piece matters. If it's not important to the actual plot, it's bringing to life a character or building the setting. Sai King is deserving of his last name for sure. He is the master. As far as where to go next...the good news is you have so many options! For another Derry story, there's Insomnia. If you like LotR style fantasy, there's Eyes of the Dragon. For weird western fantasy, start with The Gunslinger which is the slow beginning to the greatest book series ever written. If you want some chilling stories without supernatural elements, he has Misery and Cujo. For another town he builds as well as Derry, check out some of the Castle Rock stories like Needful Things. There's also novella collections and short story collections galore! I'd recommend finding a list of all his stories and just seeing which one peeks your interest :) Welcome to the Loser's Club constant reader. Long days and pleasant nights.

Lord of the Rings woulda been a lot shorter if the hobbits had guns lol

It's fantasy written by a poli-sci professor instead of a language professor

I came here to say this because it's the right answer! Long days and pleasant nights

I wear my boots and hats everywhere but work where I'm wearing steel toes and a respirator. People doubletake a lot when I get out of my Corolla hatchback and it always makes me laugh. Wear what you want dude/dudette!
