Reading it right now, gosh I love King, hope he lives forever.

The same! When l start one of his books l don't stop, l read at work, on the way to it, when l eat because it's addictive. I love his books!

This is just super cool

I know right! He only talked about the book for what? 30 seconds? Not including Jake Gyllenhaal?

[@armondo22]

just wants himself and the book on TV. could be a second lol. every minute is precious tbh

[@brett8460]

[@karengossett1475]

I just read it and of course it was amazing!!! I was always a romance/feel good book reader as a young girl. My brother gave me a copy of the Stand and begged me to read it. One day desperate for something to read I picked it up! Oh my I have now read every book Mr. King has written! Hours and hours of pleasure! Bless his soul 🙏❤️

[@fuffytwinkle]

I'm currently reading "Billy Summers". It's amazing! I am a huge Stephen King fan and plan to read all of his books eventually

[@towerjunkie1947]

That's sweet of his daughter to give him a haircut. Now when I read Billy Summers I'll have Jake Gyllenhaal in my head which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[@u235u235u235]

she's trying to get as much of that 500 million net worth when he dies.

[@mrcoatsworth429]

I can't imagine faces in my mind. I wouldn't see Gyllenhaal even if I wanted to. It's a blessing and a curse. One the one hand, I can read Harry Potter and not see the movie cast but the characters as they're described. On the other hand, I don't really know in my mind what my parents look like.

"When are you going to write a romance novel?" 11/22/63 Lisey's Story Bag of Bones ...

[@adrianaboga8361]

Definitely, Lisey' story. 🙄

[@asylumchoir4586]

Many, even all, of his stories contain romance. No romance, no life. (Do you see what I’m getting at? Define, “romance,” and you will see that it’s something that of the definition, some people aren’t there, yet.) Yet, Mr. King dances with it, flawlessly. A longtime lover of reading (and repeater readings) his books for life. Thank you, and you are loved, Stephen and Family. You have an Army behind you. Please don’t stop playing those Hits! 🎶🎵😊🕯🌸🕊❤️

[@austindolan7182]

dark tower 4: wizard and glass was a romance. just not much of a happy ending.

[@GILLYANNDODD]

The man’s a genius. I love watching all his movies/shows. .Lisey’s. Story, Castle Rock, Mr. Mercedes and just finished Under the Dome. They are all fantastic and he picks a great cast of characters. He is “spot on”.

[@rebecca9543]

Bag of Bones is near romance. Idc what anyone says. My personal favorite ❤️

[@neal4471]

If I could ask Stephen King one question it would be, "Were you at all inspired to write BS by the cable series "Barry." Three similarities to that wonderful TV show make me wonder: the plot of a former military sniper turned professional assassin who limits his kills to "bad guys," the carnival scene where the assassin wins a stuffed animal for his friend's daughter, and the use of the Marine slang phrase "Kissing in." If Mr. King answered "yes," I'd say more power to you. Love the book.

[@brendanbright4377]

I do agree with SK, Jake Gyllenhaal is a great actor hes main character in my favorite movie ( Donnie Darko ) and I can picture him clearly playing Billy Summers...... Another masterpiece by the master himself SK. Please never stop writing and please never start writing romance novels lol.

[@dreamer7770]

He already did it though. 11/22/63 is basically a romance novel hiding under the clothes of a sci-fi thriller. It is amazing. Go read it.

[@Horseluvver]

Stephen King. I'm reading 'On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft' again right now. I have a question: how in the world did you write 'The Stand'? For me it holds a place right up there with 'East of Eden'. Fast moving, jaw dropping, and my favorite subject...the choice of being good or evil. How long did it take you to finish writing it? What a story...I was really glad to find that the movie stayed true to the book. I read a lot and my 'keepers' i read over again years later (I've read James Herriot's series so much it's practically committed to memory) and find that it's never a waste of time to revisit an old friend that happens to be a good book. Glad you're well...your hair's just fine.

Telltale doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately. They went bankrupt in 2018

[@williamburns4247]

It's kind of a clone of Jack Reacher but Jack Reacher is without all the profanities, the expletives which are not needed. A lot of the chapters are contrived, can't give it a thumbs up can't give it a thumbs down, it's okay one thing I like about the Jack Reacher books there's no profanity or very little, you can do it Stephen King you can write a book without profanities...

[@rayaxxxxxx]

Jason Statham is Billy Summers!!! Hate the ending, feel like Misery... wish I could force the writer to change it ;)
