I've probably read 20 books by him without ever seeking him out or considering myself a fan.
I'm halfway through Rose Madder right now and I'm losing my mind wondering how the book can resolve everything in 250 pages instead of 10.
*spoilers*
She just stepped into her magic painting, so I guess the answer to "how" might be "terribly" |

I've never read a Steven King book, and I never intend to. I've read a small amount of his Dark Tower, or whatever fantasy series, and it seemed pretty boring.
Horror is pretty awful genre all around. |

Stephen King is bullshit as can clearly be seen by the print and film versions of the Langoliers, and the film version of Thinner. |

Have you read the print version of Thinner? Because there's magic pie no matter what version of the story you get.
Magic Juan is a fag because his initial correct spelling post was in response to me |

The magic pie is something I would have made up when I was barely old enough to speak. |

-Carrie
-The Shining
-The Long Walk
-Cujo (I have no idea why I read this one other than to make myself go insane with grief [although I guess Carrie upset me more])
-Pet Sematary
-Thinner
-Misery (my fave!)
-Different Seasons
8 isn't that much considering he's an author with over 40 books, so I apologize to everyone for overstating my accomplishment. I do own most of his books, though, and have ambition to read more of them after I finish Rose Madder. And I've read the better part of Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, and Nightmares & Dreamscapes, but his short stories really don't do much for me for some reason. |

I like his short stories better.
Running Man is a pretty depressing story, especially compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger firing that guy into a billboard of himself. |

I read hell of Stephen King books in high school, but now i can't even care to read the rest of the Dark Tower series.
I like The Shining movie with Jack Nicholson and the book was just okay. |

Misery is such an awful movie. I can't bear to watch it for more than a few minutes at a time. |

I'm going to assume by awful you mean horrifying, and not that it was a bad movie. |

The Shining was an okay movie though. I can't imagine why someone would find it very scary though. Maybe the book is scarier, but I doubt it. |

Misery is far and away the greatest movie based on a Stephen King horror story (I'm not going to fight Shawshank, Green Mile, or Stand By Me, even if they're GAY), and one of my all-time favorite movies.

Stephen King has a lot of really good movie adaptations. |

Misery disgusts me. I've never watched the whole movie, so maybe it's good, but the woman makes me want to vomit, so I'll never know. |

I've read It, Carrie, Salem's Lot, the Tommyknockers, both Pet Semataries, Night Shift, the Skeleton Crew, the Shining, and some other shit. I love the short story novels, but I think It is probably my favorite and I found it genuinely scary. |
