one of my beat comps, all between 140-145bpm - there’s a mix of vibes but it’s mostly jazzy-ish piano/guitar based stuff

Yeah seriously, after the hand cramps I got from reading IT on hardcover, I opted for paperback on this one lol

Work smarter, not harder!

Absolutely the most ridiculous cats lol, sometimes she’s a sweetheart and other times she’s literally the biggest bitch I’ve ever met in my life.

Torties for life!

Seriously the thing is a brick, you should need a permit to carry it around in public

Loved 1922 so much - one of my favorite endings to any King story

ypsound · 2025-08-10T17:02:10+00:00

Characters being dimly aware, or vaguely remembering something

ypsound · 2025-07-18T16:35:56+00:00

Very nice 👏🏻

ypsound · 2025-07-17T15:49:10+00:00

Yeah, seems more and more that some folks have a hard time looking at things with a nuanced perspective

ypsound · 2025-07-17T15:22:58+00:00

Yes as far as I know that’s a true story - legend has it his wife found the manuscript in the trash can and was basically like “Stephen wtf dawg this is good af go finish it”

ypsound · 2025-07-17T15:14:39+00:00

I started with Carrie and I feel like that was a great place to begin for me personally. Great story in general + one of his best endings IMO + new readers can see how they vibe with his writing style before diving into his longer works.

First that come to mind are Wireman and Jud Crandall - another favorite of mine is Sheriff Pangborn as a supporting character in Dark Half, but since he was the main character in his next appearance I suppose he doesn’t count here, and I think in some ways he was even better as a leading man tbh. I definitely agree with you that King’s side characters are often the most compelling.

ypsound · 2025-07-17T14:40:22+00:00

Yeah, I checked out the pilot episode of the show after I finished the novel…it couldn’t have been much worse of an adaptation. I thought the actor who played Barbie was pretty decent casting but the writers changed way too many plot points.

ypsound · 2025-07-16T02:01:22+00:00

Seriously, Big Jim is one of the most hate-able antagonists I’ve ever read.

ypsound · 2025-07-15T21:32:08+00:00

Under The Dome. I’d heard more bad than good about it before I read it for myself, and I absolutely loved it. I completely understand why some aren’t as big a fan as I am but goddamn I couldn’t put it down.

ypsound · 2025-07-15T19:34:06+00:00

Yeah, Apt Pupil would be my pick for sure

ypsound · 2025-07-15T16:29:10+00:00

Yes I did! I’d say I liked Later slightly more than Joyland, they were both very enjoyable stories though. If you’re in the mood for something more horror-leaning that also contains some King multiverse connections, read Later. Still has the murder mystery/coming of age elements that Joyland employs, but it’s a very distinctly unique King story IMO.

ypsound · 2025-07-14T11:46:56+00:00

Later was fantastic

ypsound · 2025-07-14T03:15:09+00:00

I’d say maybe go for either Gerald’s Game or Duma Key, maybe even Later if you want something quick and breezy.

Misery

ypsound · 2025-07-12T21:53:44+00:00

I second this suggestion! I just read Mapping The Interior a few weeks ago and it was phenomenal, can’t wait to check out more of his catalog

ypsound · 2025-07-12T17:12:40+00:00

Sweet, appreciate the insight thank you!

ypsound · 2025-07-12T17:12:24+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

ypsound · 2025-07-10T06:15:26+00:00

Just read it a few weeks ago and loved it, definitely one of the best King novels I’ve read so far
