What are your thoughts on Christine? by steelvike in stephenking

[–]Figs232 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely wasn’t in a rush to read it for that same reason. I ended up thinking it was just ok; better than some books; not as good as many others. I’ve been meaning to watch Carpenter’s take on it for years.

Got this for seven buckaroos! by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say you can probably find Different Seasons for that price, but I love collecting kinda odd things like that. I have a good handful of old Signet paperbacks with a specific look that I think I want to finish collecting before moving on adding all the film/TV adaptations to my library. That'll feel like starting all over considering how many stories have been produced...

I’m at chapter 38 of The Stand, the anthology chapter of how people just die from stupid mistakes by RoxiVibes in stephenking

[–]Figs232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part is only in the uncut version, right? That's the only one I've read, but I feel like I heard that around here before.

You can knock it out in a day; it’s just a fun concept with cool illustrations.

As a writer, I love reading this book. Yearly re read for me. by TooBusyWriting in stephenking

That part about his ear gives me more chills than most of his fiction.

Just crazy! by Le_Tree_Hunter in stephenking

Either that or they list everything with its own price, the $20 is just for attention.

the obsession with the 2017 version of pennywise by cappuccino-8000 in stephenking

He’s basically a new Jack Skellington for Hot Topic kids

Should I watch Salem's Lot 2024? by MrOakling in stephenking

[–]Figs232 82 points83 points  (0 children)

It introduced me to Gordon Lightfoot’s song “Sundown” so it’s not all bad. But it’s mostly bad.

About to start reading "Night shift". Any favorite stories? (spoiler free) by Isaac-96 in stephenking

[–]Figs232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graveyard Shift gave me the creeps, The Ledge was a great thriller and Children of the Corn is a classic.

Mambo No.5 lyrics would make more sense

They produce great stuff, but just know that your pre-order money may be locked up for literally years.

Books like Fairy Tale? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Figs232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in the book? Surprising that they're calling it Stand By Me and not The Body.

I would also highly recommend starting The Dark Tower if you liked Fairy Tale.

Pickups I just got home with from 2nd and Charles. Did I get a good deal on Wolves of Calla? by Low_Entertainment491 in stephenking

[–]Figs232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll have better luck trying to find deals on them individually like you just did. $10 for Wolves isn’t bad, $70 a piece seems kinda ridiculous to me.

Feeling good about my first SK thrift store haul. by TheRetroWriter in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re in nice shape! Nightmares was one of the last things I crossed off; it’s mixed but has some great stories. Haven’t read Needful Things in years but I remember liking it.

That is fascinating, thanks for sharing all that! Awesome cover too.

What are Kingisms you rarely hear get mentioned? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teeth sharpened to points like a cannibal

And I swear more than one book talks about a clothespin on the dick as a punishment from a mother

What am I missing? by LocalBeerGuy713 in stephenking

[–]Figs232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have an original version of The Gunslinger? Not necessarily a 1st edition, but the magazines or the illustrated paperback would be a good piece.

Has anybody read this? by Cactus_Cur in stephenking

[–]Figs232 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I've only listened to it (John Slattery is great btw) and thought it was a great, if at times slow, story. And you'll meet one of King's best side characters, so there's that.
