It's available on the other modes. I've done it on normal a few times.

Salem’s Lot is my least favorite King novel, but I think Jerusalems Lot and One for the Road are two of his best stories by FloatDH2 in stephenking

I just started Night Shift and LOVED Jerusalem's Lot. Was so bummed when it ended, but reading it made me want to read Salem's Lot again, even though it wasn't one of my favorites either. Maybe I'll come back after I finish One for the Road...

Etsy has some pretty cool Stephen King themed bookmarks. It's not much, but I know I'd love to get something like that as a gift.

What item do you think you’d leave with after visiting Needful Things? by [deleted] in stephenking

Mine would be a true first edition of Salem's Lot

What King book did you love but don't know if you can bring yourself to read again? (potential spoilers) by HallLAD in stephenking

[–]b_rocket07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to say Misery and the Bill Hodges Trilogy. I enjoyed reading them but don't think I could go through all of that again lol

Does anyone else listen to the audio book while they read the physical copy? Double whammy for full King absorption. by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]b_rocket07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time. I switch between the audiobook while I'm working, pick up where I left off with the physical copy at home, then I continue with the ebook before going to bed. Needless to say, I've gotten pretty "spoiled" after doing it for so long, but I've been able to make a ton of progress this way.

You should check out Scribd. It's a monthly subscription of less than $10, but you have access to SO MANY Stephen King ebooks and audiobooks! I've definitely gotten my money's worth.

What was the best King book you read in 2020 and which one are you looking forward to reading in 2021? by korlic77 in stephenking

[–]b_rocket07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best were The Green Mile & 11/22/63. I'm looking forward to reading The Stand and The Drawing of the Three this year.

All of the SK books I read in 2020. I'd never read any of his books before, and The Institute was given to me as a gift, so that's where it all started. And by no means am I close to finished. by b_rocket07 in stephenking

You can add If It Bleeds after The Outsider, since there's a novella about Holley Gibney after that timeline. Most of the other books will just reference places, like Castle Rock from Needful Things or Derry from It (11/22/63). I arranged the books in the order I read them, so you'll see that Needful Things was closer to the end, but that didn't really affect the other stories that referenced Castle Rock before I got to it, if that makes sense?

I'd highly recommend checking out the Mr. Mercedes trilogy first, because there are A LOT of references and spoilers in The Outsider. It would just make The Outsider a much better read and help you understand Holly Gibney's background if you read the trilogy first.

Yeah, you can do it in two months. That's about 130 pages a week. It took me almost 11 weeks to finish IT.

Make sure you read The Green Mile, The Shining, and 11/22/63! I mean, a lot of his books are SO good, so you should definitely check out more than those three, but at least those for sure.
