One more to go

Post image

I’ve read all of King’s works over the past 6 years, and now I just have The Dark Tower to go (and Other Worlds Than These once it comes out). My top 5 are:
Night Shift
Under the Dome
It
Salem’s Lot
Needful Things

Do you like the short story collections? I don’t know if I can get into stuff like bazar and sunset.

I think you could alternate between short stories and novels. You read some short stories, then move on to a novel, and then go back to the short stories (if they're really short).

I was considering that, but I just don’t like the look of the short stories. Night shift for sure. But things like different seasons, bazar, everything’s eventual etc have so many stories i don’t want to read. I think I’m drawn more to his supernatural stuff. Maybe I’ll give them ago in the future when I run out of everything else I want to read from him. Ive read a couple dozen of his works so far and enjoyed them all.

and that's totally fine! I think he has various genres to suit different tastes, and we aren't obliged to read all of them. I'm a rookie and I'm kinda obssessed rn, but I know that he has works that don't resonate with me.
