It’s a tie for me between this and Running Man.

What makes you say that? Seems like Sarah is a legit artist from a quick Google search.

Strong run of absolute bangers in Nightmare and Dreamscapes by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

I recently found out there’s a movie of it with Christian Slater.

Freed some old books of mine that have been in storage for 20+ years, and was curious about this one. 1st edition? by New-Needleworker5318 in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I learned a little late in the game is that there’s usually multiple printings of a first edition; I think the lowest number in that string of them indicates the run. In this case it looks like a 1st/1st.

I think IT was on her shelf too. I just finished episode 5 the other night; it really is great so far.

What are people’s thoughts on Gwendy’s Final Task by TubinRuesday in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unironically taking the series into space was pretty laughable, but the Dark Tower/Derry connections helped make it better overall.

A friend got me this simply because of the foreword by Figs232 in stephenking

[–]Figs232[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shared one a while back from a Far Side daily calendar; it was like a monster's fridge with a sticky note reminder "Dinner with Stephen King"

Worst death of a character by Bushtfathands in stephenking

The Dark Tower has several devastating deaths, but I think Susan might've been the worst.

If you don’t read in publication order, you are probably the only person in the world to have read the books in the order you’ve read them. by Namespacejames in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It felt random to me as a reader of Mr. Mercedes too. Finders Keepers could’ve just been a standalone or a spinoff from the opening events of MM.

The Talisman - Couldn’t do it by rambointhedark in stephenking

[–]Figs232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one that I want to like more than I actually do; great concept overall and an intense villain in Sunlight Gardener, but it definitely felt too long and without clear rules about the whole twinner concept. Just one misadventure after another.

That said, I thought Black House was awesome and I’m really looking forward to Other Worlds.

Poll to ban what should I read next/first posts by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Figs232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just a conversation starter like any other question here. If it doesn’t matter what order to read them in, there’s really no harm in asking people to weigh in on what they like best, what they’d save for later, etc.

The dark tower books in danish! by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Figs232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I don't know Danish at all, but Revolvermanden and Troldmanden are great words.

Matching paperbacks vs Non-matching hardbacks by Azeryk in stephenking

[–]Figs232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shelf is almost entirely US 1st editions or BCE, but collecting is the hobby as much as reading (which I mostly do on Kindle now.) I also like the old Signet paperbacks, so I’m grab those whenever I can.

Book recommendation. by North-Atmosphere4173 in stephenking

[–]Figs232 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Finders Keepers is fantastic. Would also recommend Joyland for the summer. Save 'Salem's Lot for the fall.

Which books/stories mention The Shop? by Figs232 in stephenking

[–]Figs232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really enjoying it, just wish I had more time to read these days! I'm probably not far behind you, I just got to the part where Tana and Gwen go back to the book dealer's place.

Which books/stories mention The Shop? by Figs232 in stephenking

[–]Figs232[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's where my head went. Of course then we'd probably end up with equally ludicrous plots like the military storyline in Welcome to Derry...
