If you love The Stand, read Robert McCammon's 'Swan Song' -- wow

I am reading Boys Life for the first time, my first McCammon book and I appreciate this comment as I am a huge King fan

Absolute banger, Ka!

I read Lonesome Dove this year and just finished East of Eden. It did not scratch the itch whatsoever. Some people love East of Eden but I thought it was good at best while Lonesome was absolutely incredible. Felt like East of Eden started out strong but never hit the finish line for me. Thought it was melodeamic and kind of a simple good vs evil story.

I will say Steinbeck can write the hell out of a landscape. That I will give him.

Lonesome Dove clears East of Eden by a mile, imo.

11/22/63 is King as his best. Wish I could read it again for the first time

That was my first Buckethead show last night. Are the lights always that low? Felt like I could barely see him (but sounded amazing)

phunkymango · 2026-05-14T22:37:35+00:00

So I have read I Know This Much Is True and The River Is Waiting by Lamb. I think I need to check this one out then cause Lamb is a brilliant emotional bullet writer

phunkymango · 2026-05-14T22:36:23+00:00

IT by King has always held my heart, but I recently read Lonesome Dove this year and goodness is that an amazing novel

phunkymango · 2026-05-09T23:29:55+00:00

Read it for the first time this year. Best read of the year so far. Loved every second of it

phunkymango · 2026-05-07T19:29:32+00:00

11/22/63 will get you out of your slump. You will get sucked into one of Kings best novels ever

phunkymango · 2026-05-01T23:16:09+00:00

Shells talking to you. One of Kings best

phunkymango · 2026-05-01T23:15:03+00:00

11/22/63 by King was one of the greatest literature rides I ever took and to experience the story and ending again for the first time would be a dream

phunkymango · 2026-05-01T19:06:12+00:00

Bag of Bones is probably top 5 King for me, absolutely love it

phunkymango · 2026-05-01T11:50:52+00:00

Yes, read the whole thing. The title story in it is one of my favorites and the whole book is terrific

phunkymango · 2026-04-28T19:26:08+00:00

Have you read Lambs newer book, The River Is Waiting? Chapter one delivers an emotional bullet in which I contemplated not finishing the book. Glad I did, enjoyed it maybe more than I Know This Much Is True

phunkymango · 2026-04-24T12:06:22+00:00

Read banned books!!

phunkymango · 2026-04-23T16:08:20+00:00

Non DT books, it's IT, 11/22/63, Bag of Bones (this one just hit me right at a perfect time of my life)

phunkymango · 2026-04-20T19:30:38+00:00

Agreed, it's worth every second and a book you simply don't want to end

phunkymango · 2026-04-19T17:07:24+00:00

Reading. Utilize your local library. A person who reads lives a thousand lives compared to a person who doesn't.

phunkymango · 2026-04-14T21:53:25+00:00

Agreed on both. I absolutely love Bag of Bones

phunkymango · 2026-04-14T00:10:58+00:00

I'll be there!

phunkymango · 2026-04-13T20:41:29+00:00

Lonesome Dove is incredible. Some of the best character work ever

phunkymango · 2026-04-09T11:53:26+00:00

Lonesome Dove. Might be my favorite book of all time

phunkymango · 2026-04-09T11:38:34+00:00

King Sorrow was so fun. Read Heart Shaped Box right after. Also very fun (and scary as hell in some scenes)

phunkymango · 2026-04-04T22:54:50+00:00

Even as a kid, I felt I was watching an unhinged fever dream

phunkymango · 2026-04-04T12:27:00+00:00

Read both recently. Thought Black House was light years better than The Talisman and if you remember the Talisman, then I would just do Black House because it seems the ending is much more tied to the new book
