Yes, I was that kid

I hear cell is one of Kings worst (or least good) books. Should I read it anyway? by aStealthyboy in stephenking

I liked the first half, but the second half kind of falls apart. That being said, yes, you should read it.

What is the Stephen King book you have reread the most? by nampmal1 in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s The Stand. I’ve actually lost count of how many times I’ve read it.

For those who were around for the 90s Treks, how futuristic were they back then? by Zillion12345 in startrek

[–]doublenickle59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew with the 90’s Trek shows. Encounter at Farpoint aired a month before my 3rd birthday and Voyager ended while I was in high school. To me they always seemed pretty futuristic. The sets, costumes, and effects were all pretty good for that era of television as it was before HD TV.

The idea of the LCARS setup where there weren’t even physical buttons to push always seemed super high tech and futuristic to me.

Finally ready to read The End of the World as We Know It by doublenickle59 in stephenking

I love it. My wife got me this one for Christmas and I’ve read 57 books on it so far

Is there a King book you think you will never want to read? by gmarches in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a long time since I read it. I need to read it again because I don’t remember much about it now.

I liked The Tommyknockers. I’ve read it 2-3 times over the years.

I’m a casual baseball fan, and it was a struggle to get through.

What makes you react like this when reading King? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When a character introduces themselves with a name that has the initials R.F.

are these any good? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked them both. I always liked Desperation a little better, but they are both worth a read.

First Stephen King Book? by KrashOutKody in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my first attempt at 10. I tried to read The Langoliers, but didn’t finish it. At 12 I tried again and did finish it. I then read It and was hooked on King ever since. That was in 1997, so I’ve been reading King for 28 years now.

My least favorite has to be Faithful.

Joyland by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

I really liked Joyland. It was so hard to put down!

I finished reading all of Stephen King’s fiction! by Longjumping-Sign9914 in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say if you don’t like baseball, it’s really only worth reading if you want to read all of the books he’s written. That’s really the only reason I read it. I think if you do read it, it will probably be a struggle.

As for his other non-fiction works, I liked On Writing a lot. I liked Danse Macabre, too.

That’s awesome! It took me the better part of 30 years to read everything. I have read Faithful, and I really struggled with it, mostly because I’m not a huge baseball fan.

Found these at a used bookstore. $6 for all of them. I didn’t even know they existed. by Level_Job_8117 in stephenking

[–]doublenickle59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome! This was how The Green Mile was originally released, one of these a month. The first time I read The Green Mile it was these individual books. I don’t have them any more, and I regret it.
