I love stephen king, he is my favorite author. so far I seen pet semetary, barely started reading cujo, finished IT (the story, not cujo), shawshank redemption, and the body and different seasons. I just picked up a book today called cycle of the werewolf for $3, I have never heard of it before, I hope its not a waste of $3. what are some other great books by king? anything that is particularly rare?
PS my teacher said that He read something very interesting about how humanity would ultimately die because of overpopulation. anybody Know what this was?

Well the first Gunslinger is awesome, the rest are OK but certainaly lacking after the first. The Stand (unabriged) is pretty good, a bit rougher than some of his other stuff (if you can believe it) and Salem's Lot rawked pretty hard.
I bought a bunch of more of his novels for a quarter a piece and haven't read them yet. I got sick of his style.
P.S. Why did you post this in The Gym?

F-nuck ive been doing this a lot lately in all forums i use on complete accident...
move to media room please. sorry.
and what exactly do you mean by "rougher" after reading IT, which goes very deep into begginings of time, 10 year olds having sex and getting high, and a psycho clown that roams the sewer system of a town in maine, I didnt think it could get worse.

I agree with pretty much everything you've said there.
The Dark Tower books are great, especially book 4 the wizard and glass. You pretty much have to read them all in order to follow the story though.
If you haven't started reading Cujo I wouldn't bother, it's awful, and the way it is written without any chapter breaks, really starts to piss you off.
Other books which I have enjoyed of his which haven't been mentioned are Tommyknockers, The Dark Half, The Running Man and The Shining.
Books which I thought sucked were Cujo, The Regulators, Insomnia and Dolores Claiborne spring to mind.

Well don't even let them see his picture. I wouldn't let my kid read any book written by a guy who looks like a fish.

LOL
My mom actually picked up and started reading IT one time, right at the part where little kids started doing it with each other. she took the book away, but I have 2 copies. sadly, the other copy is pretty much destroyed.

Dean Koontz is really good too.
If memory serves i liked more Koontz books than King.
I don't remember Kings other pen name but look into his short stories.
Those are good too.
You can check out wikipedia to find out more.
I am too lazy to find it and post a link for you.

Kings pen name is Richard Bachman, though they do get published as Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman these days.

What's the point of having a different name then?

At the time it was only "customary" I guess, for an author to publish one book a year. He wanted to put out more so he made a pen name.
People figured it out though.
Nowadays nobody cares how many books get put out a year, not sure why he keeps the pen name on his book.
I also forgot to mention his book "On Writing" is very good.

His writing style was totally different writing as Bachman too. The Bachman books are a lot more surreal and personally feel harder to read.

If you like King and Koontz then I suggest Tamara Thorne. For a female horror writer she is superb. My favorite king book is probably geralds game. Talk about a scary situation. Handcuffed to a bed in the middle of nowhere with the front door open. Not to mention everything else going on in that one 8-)
