i first read bag of bones as my 6th book a year ago and i seen you had it near your worst. so i decided to force myself to read the worst of the worst, then i ended up enjoying it. 4 stars i gave it. Hope you enjoy it in your reread.

Great video! I don't re-read books much, but if I did I would love to read the uncut version ( I personally loved the extra content and ending) of the stand, hey different strokes for different folks. I would also love to re-read The Shining- to see if it is still as terrifying as I remember. Bag Of Bones was mid-tier King for me. I still need to read Under The Dome.

Still need to read Rose Madder, From a Buick 8 and (of course) Under the Dome. Let me know when you are planning on getting to those and I will join!

I love that you said “he slotted in the supernatural” I think this is in every one of his books. Like even when he starts out writing a non fantasy book, he just can’t help himself. It just sneaks in every story! 😜😂

I was okay with Buick 8 at first, but I eventually lost interest and didn't finish. But that was also a long time ago for me as well. I'm a different sort of reader than I was back then.

I would love to reread all of them eventually, but I'll just leave some notable ones: 'Carrie', 'Salem's Lot', 'The Shining', 'Rage', 'The Long Walk', 'Firestarter', 'Christine', 'Pet Sematary', 'Misery'.

@BookishDrummer absolutely. I like some of the newer stuff, but the older stuff are classics for a reason.

I agree about The Stand. The uncut version part 2 was brutalllllll to get through and really took away from the book. Please let us know what you think of the original with the fat trimmed off part 2 👍😂😂

I didn't like Bag of Bones. It was boring and I didn't even finish it. Very seldom do I not finish a book.
