Buffy !!!!! Holy crap. You just brought me back to my youth ! Wow. Such a good show. Looking forward to watching the live stream ! 🎉

[@TomOrange]

I really enjoyed watching it for the first time!

[@Johanna_reads]

I hear you about Roadside Picnic. I liked it more as it went on and think the fourth chapter saved it for me, but it was definitely more of a “heady” book for me than an emotional one, and I though Red was scummy at times. Bamboozled by the publishers of The Ice Dragon! It was good, and I could imagine it being rewritten to fit in the ASOIAF world. 😅 I agree with your feelings about Salem’s Lot. I thought it showcased King’s ability to make the town a character. Great wrap-up!

[@TomOrange]

Thanks! I’m glad I read Roadside and maybe would benefit from rereading it. I would probably be able to go in with a better head space. King is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers

[@BrianBell7]

Excellent list, Tom! I'm pretty deficient in my King reading as I'm not a big horror guy. That said, Dark Tower is a top 5 all time series for me, so maybe I do need to grab Salem's Lot for the connection. I love your conversational approach to making videos.

[@TomOrange]

Im looking forward to Dark Tower. I want to read some more of King before jumping into it however

[@BookishChas]

Great video Tom! I’m glad you enjoyed Salem’s Lot. It’s actually my favorite Stephen King book.

[@TomOrange]

He is 4 for 4 with me so far.

Roadside Picnic is one I am still interested in as I love the film adaptation, Stalker. It's a very beautiful and thought-provoking movie, but it's also not for everyone considering it's a 3-hour long Russian film

[@TomOrange]

I plan on trying to watch the movie at some point.

[@esmayrosalyne]

You're getting me very curious to try out Cixin Liu, even though I am more of a character-driven reader. The concepts sound so wild!! And oooh I am looking forward to more Buffy thoughts!

[@TomOrange]

The concepts are out of this world for sure!

[@CNavo.TheNextChapter]

I am now about 1/3rd in Memories of Ice, and can already understand why people love this particular entry. We'll see how it lands overall for us next month - Cheers Tom!

[@TomOrange]

I hope my enjoyment just keeps going up

[@bartsbookspace]

I just finished book 4 in the Dark Tower and holy shit is it amazing! I think you will love it when you get to it eventually. Just got to get past book 1 Gunslinger, which was in my view just OK. King is 👑 I’m intrigued by Supernova Era. I will try to get back to Ci Xin Liu before the end of the year; I’ve only read the Remembrance series (and few short stories) by him. Sorry that Roadside Picnic did not work out for you.

[@TomOrange]

Im excited to start the dark tower at some point. I want to read some more of his other works before jumping into it. Liu just clicks for me in a way that most authors dont.

[@cristianmorgan2012]

You have to leave the picture of the book longer on the screen. Please.

[@TomOrange]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

King is just overspoiled in general. I have minor interest in reading Salem's Lot eventually and I still somehow managed to get it spoilt, and thinking back on the other popular stuff from him I want to check out, I always knew the ending before I ever got around to actually reading it. It's cool they're finally syncing across platforms now!

[@TomOrange]

I think a lot of his work is just a part of pop culture now it’s very hard to avoid

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

@@TomOrange Definitely, and a lot of the time even knowing the ending it doesn't throw you off very much. The book's still somehow great.

[@TomOrange]
